Beyonce gig violates Sharia law: Egypt MP
2009-10-26

Healthy young lass. Drinks a glass of milk every day.
[Al Arabiya Latest] Two weeks before American superstar Beyonce Knowles is scheduled to hold her first ever concert in Egypt, an Islamist MP publically blasted the government for accepting to host the event and accused the government of violating Sharia law.
"Titties are against shariah. She got titties. She's against sharia, Q.E.D."
The bootylicious pop diva is set for a government-approved gig at the Red Sea resort of Port Ghalib, irking Muslim Brotherhood member Hamdi Hassan, who slammed the government for allowing a singer "who appears naked in her clips" to perform, which he said would spread vice.
But, dewd! I heard she made the greatest music video ever! That's what that guy said, ain't it?
"The government is trying to make people indulge in sin and licentiousness to cover up the other crimes it is committing against them," Hassan said in a parliament session.
The tickets are going for $400 apiece. If you got that kinda jack then you're likely no stranger to sin and licentiousness.
Hassan highlighted what he called government double standards for refusing to allow an Islamic band that sings religious songs for children to enter the country.
Hush little baby don't you cry,
Once you detonate you'll blow sky high!

#5  Man, is that stuff tedious. Best vid ever? Nah, this is.

Or for your afternoon pleasure, something completely different. Hassan might even agree with the sentiment: "I want to do right, but not right now."

#4  As good a reason as any to take two years of jazz dance classes. Fun! So of course it violates Sharia law... quite unlike a similar belly dance, which many girls do in Cairo, at least, although perhaps in not the same outfits.

"Greatest Music Video Ever". For those who are interested in supporting links, of course.
