The Riyadh Festival launched its second season, last October, with a wide range of artistic and entertainment activities, some of which entered the Guinness Book of Records.

Parts of the festival were circulated, some of which received heavy participation because of the manifestations of mixing that opponents described as inappropriate and unprecedented in the history of the Kingdom.

However, some tweeters considered that the opposing voices exaggerate the fear of change, and insist on confiscating the people's right to life and entertainment.

An episode (12/21/2021) of the program "Nashrat Al-Shamtah - your publication" monitored a sample of the different opinions on the Saudi platforms regarding the Riyadh season.

Activist Muhammad Al-Yahya wrote, "What the Entertainment Authority is doing with the constants, values, young men and women, and the reputation of the Kingdom is beyond description!"

Addressing the "esteemed" Council of Senior Scholars, he said, "Where are you from what is happening?"

Fahd Al-Ghufaili tweeted in favor of the hashtag “Stopping the Riyadh season is a demand,” writing, “The Entertainment Authority prepares the ground for corruption and corruption for the citizen, by holding mixed parties, bringing in fallen singers, and displaying indecent songs, and if there are cases of harassment and disgraceful behavior they blame the citizen! Like someone who digs a hole and fills it with dirt, And he wants people not to be polluted with its impurities!”

Khaled Al-Maliki wrote, "Islam has become just a name and letters and nothing more." He added, "Stopping the Riyadh season is a demand," which is the same opinion of Rahma Al-Enezi, who said, "Unfortunately, this is not a way to entertain society, violating our culture and religion is not entertainment."

"Stopping the Riyadh season is a demand," Mashael wrote in her tweet, adding, "We seek development, yes, we bring in tourists, yes, we benefit from the West with their development and industry, yes, but what is happening is no. It is forbidden and forbidden for girls and children to dance, sing and remove the veil ... a rapid development for the worst, unfortunately."

"The Riyadh season has positive aspects"

However, there are the pioneers of the communication sites who tweeted against “stopping the Riyadh season as a demand,” and among them is Saad Al-Hussein, who said, “Those who participate in this hashtag are from outside the Kingdom, and they do not go out of two categories: a category that has been oppressed by the development you are witnessing and was seen by us as They are backward, and today he and his country have overtaken him, and an ideological brand has political ambitions and wishes us to relapse and live in poverty, war and darkness."

For his part, the writer Turki Al-Hamad said, "It seems that the heresy of blocking the pretext controls the minds of some, for any error in anything, and error is contained in everything, the demand for its complete abolition begins," explaining that the "Riyadh season" has many positive aspects, both on the one hand Strengthening the "soft power of the country, or bringing about a change in the general culture", adding, "For an accidental mistake does not mean the entire effort is torpedoed...".

A tweeter named Ahmed also asked the reason for the demand to stop the Riyadh season, saying: Why?

Let the world rejoice and simplify.

As for Muhammad Al Ibrahim, he says that promoting the presence of large numbers of Saudi society in this gathering is incorrect, but rather an inflation of the numbers only to make the community enter into a state of doubt about its identity and the stability of its values. His religion, morals, and upbringing.
