Egyptian authorities have arrested a woman who danced in a racy music video that went viral on the internet and referred her to misdemeanor court for inciting debauchery.
The clip, a low-budget production entitled Hands Off, or Sib Eddi in Egyptian Arabic, contains no nudity but plenty of scantily clad booty-shaking by the woman, Reda el-Fouly, who dances to the voice of a singer called Mena.
Ahmed Bakly of the Giza prosecution said in a statement that the clip disrupted morality. He also ordered the arrest of Wael Elsedeki, whom he described as el-Foulys boyfriend who had left the country for Tunisia after some social media users called the video scandalous, as well as a third person involved in the video.
Egypt is one of several Islamic countries that enforce modest-dress laws in the Middle East. Last year, Qatars state-run Islamic Culture Center launched the Reflect your Respect campaign to encourage tourists to adhere to the countrys dress codes and to dress modestly.
In Iran, journalist Masih Alinejad launched a Facebook page called Stealthy Freedoms of Iranian Women that encouraged women to post photos of themselves without their headscarves.
In January, Iran made international headlines after taking about 50 women into custody for violating the countrys public dress codes. Women in Iran can face up to 70 lashes for being seen in public in insufficiently modest clothing. They can also be sent to prison for two months.
GUILTY!!!
She was busted alright.
garish makeup though
"...here they come"
Paging Laz...
Sir Mix-a-lot approves.
How busted is she?
That’s how they like them, especially as belly dancers. More than full, overflowing actually, figured.
“How busted is she?”
She’s so busted that she walks on her elbows.
Or, She’s so busted that she will spend a while in prison.
Sad.

Hey judge, we’ll trade you Miley Cyrus for the women...
She’s guilty!
Send her to my room and I’ll show her the error of my ways.
That’s a Big Butted Woman!
That’s the funniest scene in “Holy Grail” where the poofy prince starts to sing of rescue with the orchestra buildup then the father rushes in shouting “No! No! No!” and the music grinds to a halt.
Anyway, at least Egypt still has a secular portion of the population that refuses to be Islamized.
Yeah, I think her name’s Miley el-Fouly.
