deeyah aka the "muslim madonna" - she's neither that ugly nor that talentless, though she's still nothing to write home about - is doing her part for jihadi mockery and freedom。 some 'muslims' are claiming that she isn't a 'real' muslim, can't think why。 anyway, she's made a video for her latest pop song which amongst other things features herself shedding a burka for a bikini and large number of muslim feminists removing tape from their mouths (apparently references to the van gogh/hirsi ali film "submission")。 the lyrics also have their moments:

# "Does the truth only come from the top of a holy man's spire?"
# "From three paces back, covered head to toe, like the rules that the man says and written just for show."
# "You can stand up, lay down, or follow. What will it be? Will it all be the same tomorrow?"
# "We don't take it lightly when you threatening women. How you have so much hate and you fake your religion?"
# "If you're that religious and not for trendy clothes, then what you doing even watching videos?"
she clearly chooses "stand up":
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.
i just love the wording "inciting anger"。 and why would someone pissed with jihadis in norway move to the uk of all places?! i would think it had more to do with the larger audiences and bigger music scene, but what would i know。
