Yes this show is attracting a lot of viewers in the middle east.This has caused furor in the Saudi Arabia's  Sharia court.The head of the Sharia court said the owners of television stations who air the show should be put to death.He labeled the show as an agent for corrupting belief .Turkey is a secular society.So conservatives fear the spread of secular culture.I belief Saudi Arabia should be most conservative place on earth.This is birth place of the Prophet Muhammad PUH.\hous
