'Muslim Madonna' - Brace for another muslims' riot, bloodshed
Feb 24, 2006
Muslim pop singer Deeyah has irked the Muslim world with her provocative new music video that shows her stripping off a burka to reveal her bikini-clad body.

Deeyah claims, the video, What will be? deals with Muslim women's rights and female empowerment, as it also features Muslim women who have fought for freedom of expression.
The singer, who was born in Norway but moved to the UK after her act alienated her from the Muslim community, has been forced to cancel performances and hire a team of bodyguards after inciting anger from British Muslims as well.
"I can't walk around without bodyguards. I would be lying if I said abuse from religious fanatics did not upset or scare me," the 28-year-old, dubbed as the 'Muslim Madonna' was quoted by Contactmusic, as saying.
Asian music TV network B4U TV dropped the video after receiving complaints.
"We played the video a couple of times and then did not play it again. We had threats which we were forced to take very seriously. These things are sensitive issues," an employee said.

WRONG!
Might I be so bold as to recommend Stillwell and the American Experience in China, a biography of General Stillwell, written by Barbara Wertheim Tuchman.
What a wonderful world." is too "OLD" and "UNCOOL" for these "yoots"
Yes it is ......as I'm sure your gramdaddy;s music was too uncool for you..Yea , musically the video sucks , so dose her singing. The point is that they are selling her CDs ..Not to you and not to me but to kids..On that level the video is just what they should have done..Her social statement is pretty clear to me as well...They did a good job and geared it towards their audience , not a bunch of old fart conservatives like us .
"You don't represent me or my values and everything you do is detrimental. I'll take my business elsewhere."
Please.
Do.
It's getting tiresome.
Actually,
She just pays the fines...
There is actually this point/fine system....
Show this = X fine.
Do that = Y fine.
She's also been in a video that her husband took and then sold on the net (unknown to her)...
Oy! For THAT she took the Haj, wore a Hajib and then when it all died down...
She was back dancing again ("You see, the offered me this REALLY big check at the Sheraton!")
That's not very kind at all....especially to Mr. Killborn.
I know , I got my post crossed bro..I agree with you %100..I give her a lot of credit..She has to travel with bodtguards all the time now..She must have known that going into this and still did it anyway..OUR politicians should have such guts.
I generally don’t listen to hip-hop, but this one is pretty good – the lady has a pleasant voice. Too bad most of the Muslim World will ignore – or not even hear – the message, and only be concerned with the sight of female skin and criticism of Islam.
ya lost me man ...The girl has balls , thats all i know ..I applaud her...
The 'orginals' were American ;) (at least, what most people think of the dance as being)....
The real originals looked more like this
Gosh, that's annoying music. I just saw a roach commit suicide.
She does have balls,
You're right. And just plays the game against them ;)
I love my gramddaddy's music. :)
I understand the whole business thing. Would like to see something better on thwe market though.
The fact that a great song like "What a wonderful world" is ignored while the latest CRap or sugar Pop bs goes platinum says a lot about our youth. Not much of it is good.
I would disagree on this. There are hundreds of other women in music videos who act many times more lewd that this woman has. In fact if it wasn't for her anti-Islamofacist message, she probably wouldn't get any air-time--not because her music stinks (which oddly has no effect on the rap music industry), but because she isn't acting 'sexy' enough. In fact by modern standards this video was very tame. I'm sure you could name many of the tame singers who have done worse (Mariah Carey, Jewel, Britney Spears, Shakira, etc.).
Come on man, you know it's dangerous to start something with someone in the band.
Yes.
They'd still freak though.
*chuckle*
yea but those slime balls will watch it 10000 times yet condem it in public as an assult on Islam ..Meanwhile they secretly drool over it . They are FRAUDS. i met a ton of these characters in NYC . They piss away money on girls and booze all nigh t in the clube , then pray to Mecca in the AM and call us materialistic dogs . Come to NYC some day when the UN is in session. see what happens at night when the Muzzies are in town . Coke, girls and unlimited money .
Ummm... no, I don't think I will. I believe the hysterical distortions, rants, keening, and moral lectures to be pedestrian and unthoughtful.
Whatever happened, aftert the War, Chiang KaiShek ended up on an island smaller than New York state and Mao controlled the whole of China. The chinese won against afascism but loost to Communism.
