Lebanese Singer Causes Gulf Storm

Wednesday … They don’t call it “hump day” for nothing …

Don’t ever say I never gave yunz nuttin’, boys …

A raunchy Lebanese singer is causing controversy in Bahrain, where she is due to perform for the first time.

All but one of the members of the Gulf kingdom’s Islamist-dominated parliament have approved a motion urging the government to ban Haifa Wehbe’s show.

They objected on the grounds that the pop superstar’s performance would be sexually provocative, violating Islamic conventions and Bahrain’s traditions.

Organisers had earlier promised she would dress modestly during the show.

Four years ago, MPs forced the satellite channel MBC to suspend the production of an Arabic version of Big Brother being filmed in Bahrain because it offended “the virtues and traditions of the Arab world”.

‘Sexual singer’

Ms Wehbe’s reputation for revealing clothes and sexy performances have not endeared her to Bahrain’s Islamist-dominated parliament.

But she did well in a list of the most desirable women compiled by the website, AskMen.com, and she has featured in People Magazine’s most beautiful list.

Her career began at the age of 16 when she won the title of Miss South Lebanon in a beauty contest.

Ms Wehbe went on to become a runner-up for Miss Lebanon, a top fashion model and to release three albums and make countless TV appearances.

She is famous throughout the Middle East, but still relatively unknown outside the Arab world.

One website said Ms Wehbe’s sex appeal could be measured by the number of prudes she had annoyed.

At one point, newspapers criticised her provocative dancing, saying she moved every possible part of her body including parts that have no muscles in them.

But, for the family concert in Bahrain on Wednesday evening, the organisers had promised the singer would dress modestly.

That was not enough for Bahrain’s parliament which is dominated by MPs who regularly conduct campaigns against entertainment they think is too liberal.

One of the MPs called her a sexual singer who spoke with her body, not her voice.

    1. if she were a 10 Y.O. boy, would the (male) MP’s still have a problem?

    2. She can out sing Scarlett Johanson

    3. OH YEAH - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwGPCidA6tk&feature=related

    Dayum!

  3. David Ross

    Well at least we don’t have to worry about a bomb being strapped to this one, at least not by her own free will that is.

  4. Kurt(the infidel)

    this is even more proof that the middle east is filled with homos.

  5. drillanwr (hembra blanca típica)

    Hey, Mooz …

    Ain’t NO 72 Virgins that look like that!

    You lose!

  6. Kurt(the infidel)

    if all 72 virgins looked like her i would be tempted to strap on a vest :lol:

  7. Professor Bill

    I know several women of Arab extraction and they are all smokin hot!!! Something happens to them when they get old though…..

  8. TBinSTL (just typical)

    The most beautiful women I saw when I lived in the ME were almost all Lebanese. Of course, I didn’t get to see the gorgeous Israeli girls because in those days you couldn’t have both stamps on your passport(Israeli and Arab).

  9. TJ (The Kafir)

    arab moose limbs cover their women and dont give them rights in order to keep them from westerners whom they would certainly get with to get away from arabs ugly asses. :lol:

    :arrow: mike3481 :lol:

    perfect.

    Lebanon is full of hot singers. Check out Myriam Fares. Also a hottie!!

  12. Kentucky Jim

    How can she and fugly old Arafat have come from the same gene pool?

  13. Professor Bill

    I think there is a latent underlying homosexual nature in Islam. They completely repress women to the point of full body covering and an almost non identity and the men are almost always in the company of other men. I knew someone who had spent a lot of time in the ME and he said there was a saying that women were for children and men were for pleasure, yuck.

    Our society obviously goes to the other extreme but living in a world where all the women are completely covered would be like living in a world without flowers. The fairer sex is one of the things that makes life worth living.

  14. drillanwr (hembra blanca típica)

    Yeah, we females look at women a little differently …

    To look at someone such as Haifa we say,

    “Yeah, she looks like a woman that would mess with your husband/boyfriend … but how the hell am I supposed to compete with THAT?!?”

  15. Q_Mech

    :shock:

    Now just who in their right mind would want to cover that up with a burqua?!

    I guess that’s something of a self-answering question… :???:

  16. TedB

    I’m beginning to believe that muslim men view women as reproductive vessals only, which leaves only one alternative for sexual outlet, buggery. The more I read about this sort of thing I am being convinced that they really are a bunch of fags.

  17. TedB

    I guess I should read other comments before posting. Could have just said ditto.

  18. brovato

    if they cover her with a black tent with 2 eyeholes, thats positive proof arab men (i use the term “men” loosly) are all queers! chill out queers, have a :beer:

  19. alex

    they must be either gay or fear their wifes will beat them for a change :lol:

  20. TedB

    BTW, that butt needs a good swat in mid-stroke… :wink:

  21. Jarhead68

    OK, so she’s hot but the music suuuuuuucks!!!! :mrgreen:
