The law is described here: http://www.arabtimesonline.com/clien...d=20303&ccid=9

It is against the Islamic faith to practice in gambling.

Voting for people on reality television contests is against this key fundamental Islamic rule, however the television broadcasting agenices have allowed to have public votes.

The big difference is that on the Internet, talk of these public votes and its contents within the show are banned. Therefore no website from the country of broadcasting contains this information regarding that television show.

Which Middle Eastern Idol it is? I am not too sure.

I am ringing up my source as we speak for clarification.
