She's nice to look at, her music is kinda lame, and Muslim's should leave her alone. Here's my take on Deeyah.

BS! If people aren’t gonna stop stereotypes there’s seriously no hope for a better world!! I know a lot of muslim girls none of what she said is right there are obviously some that are mistreated just like there are in every country and every culture but nobody is perfect and you know european girls are stereotyped as sluts does that mean that they are?? Many American women are being beaten up by their husbands in the states, many women are getting raped in latin America,Isn’t that degrading?? Well, let’s just forgot about every mistake that we do and blame others, we’re sick of picking on and discriminating against blacks and jews, who do we wanna discriminate against now? Obviously muslims!

The Bikini Beneath the Burka,

Another video that should be extensively broadcasted and released, is the video by DEEYAH. It can be seen on her web site : http://www.deeyah.com/quicktime03.htm. In the end of the video, she removes her Burka, to dive in the swimming pool in a not so …

We find this disgraceful how people can treat such an amazing woman in such a degrading way. She is living her life and speaking out amongst all of the hypocrisy that exists within her culture. Personally i think she is fully justified to do what she has done, after reading an indepth interview about her struggles as a muslim woman, she deserves to speak out: If there is anything wrong with islam its the extremists who send her death threats, not her for showing her back, or for wearing revealing clothes, its her life and i support her totally for it! I hope that she does prevail and change the perception that exists within the asian community today. We should unite and continue to support Deeyah!

Are there not muslims who do not have typical muslim names? Or is more of a regional thing? I know this is fairly common in Bosnia, but i don’t know about India.
And i could have sworn she was supposed to be Norwegian (at least by birth) from an earlier blog entry here at MWW quite a while back.
Wait, the Wiki is helpfull – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deeyah
Norwegian born, calls London home, Persian/Afghan mum and a Indian/Pakistani Dad (hence the name?).

Am I the only one that thinks something has gone seriously wrong when a woman feels unable to visit the UK without bodyguards?

Although I have no problems with anyone practicing their personal religion peacefully. The thing that really bugs me is the loud call for prayers early mornings. I am not religious but I need my sleep. Why do some muslims have to be selfish and disturb other people??
