I was wondering, It's season 8 and we still haven't seen any contestants of Muslim and Middle eastern background on American Idol. This would be Americans Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and Arabic origin. I'm pretty sure Americans who originate from the forementioned origins are auditioning but somehow they aren't being allowed move ahead and to be visible.
If American Idol can have 2 indians/hindus on in 3 years, why don't they allow Muslims and/or Middle eastern contestants (who are collectively 1/5 of hummanity) in the limelight? I have to say I am disappointed in American Idol. I hope Muslim/Middle eastern contestants will be seen on American Idol and will be considered for top 10 positions. American Idol must represent the true diversity of the United States of America.
