NEW YORK: The would be pop star niece of Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden has signed on for a reality television show about her attempts to break into the music industry. Wafah Dufour, a US citizen who lives in New York, inked the deal for the as yet untitled series with producer Judith Regan, whose previous credits include the mafia reality show “Growing Up Gotti.” “Wafah is a beautiful and talented singer who, like so many twenty-somethings, has a dream to make it in the music business,” Regan said in a statement Friday. Dufour, who was born Wafah Bin Ladin, said she was only too aware of the baggage that came with her family name. “I understand that when people hear my last name, they have preconceived notions, but I was born an American and I love my country,” Dufour said. “As a musician, my life is simply about the music, which is truly the universal language that we all can understand,” she added. Dufour is the daughter of Carmen Dufour Bin Ladin, who wrote the bestseller “Inside the Kingdom: My Life in Saudi Arabia,” and Yeslam Bin Ladin, bin Laden’s half-brother. “Her story will bridge the gap that people feel exists between the cultures she has lived in,” Regan said. afp
Count me outta her 'legions of (moonbat) fans'.
She doesn't go by the surname bin Laden.
In all, she seems to be a normal person with none of the crazy beliefs and murderous ambition of her uncle.
sure, I buy that. maybe she can buy some port operations contracts.
Yeah, I understand that Osama isn't too well-liked by the rest of his family.
Yeah. HEck Americans should rally to her. I going to watch.
Good god thats horrible why would you say that
you should have the mods remove that before i drop a time on you
BUT SHE'S AN ARAB
I guess that means she's a terrorist in sheeps clothing.../sarc
she is profiting from the celebrity of her family name.
and what is that celebrity based on? the killing of 3000 americans.
do you get it now.
So you agree with the post that was removed then
MAybe she is also making a point. I suspect she is doing so at some danger to her life. Hey people want Muslims to scream out. Can't think of a better way than the niece of the worst terrorist ever to mock his crazy beliefs
I guess she turned down that offer to do a reality TV show on Al Jazeera in which she was to be stoned to death and then beheaded.
The family resemblance is a bit too eerie for me.
The only positive thing I can say is if Osama hears about this it will probably drive him nuts. I mean, more nuts than he is, but either way, if it hurts him just an iota it's worth it.
Or, the star of the new movie, Transarabia.
uncanny resemblance
