Haifa Wehbe is incredibly beautiful. Since my first tour to Iraq in 2004 I have become the biggest fan of Haifa, Ruby, Elisa, Nancy and I can go on and on. It is so difficult for me to understand that a region that possesses so many beautiful Goddesses can have so much turmoil.

What amazes me most is that the Arab countries have an under laying liberalization of entertainment and the emancipation of women and yet Muslim immigrants living in the west are often more radical, militant, and more ultra-conservative then their brethren back in the home country. Far too often I read of a daughter, niece or sister murdered my other family members for dating or wearing blue jeans.

MaBrook Hafia, you are freeing the people

Perhaps I’m not completely understanding what you are saying, because once again, that last statement seems to be filled with contradictions. So please clarify.

Are you saying, the majority religion in this country should focus on laws and legislation that protect what they perceive to be their religions values, even if those laws do things (as you promoted earlier) like restrict sex, dating or relationships amongst men and woman?

Or are you saying, as you said in the last post that we should “leave people to choose for themselves because if you deny them something they are going to do it anyway if they are convinced with it”….

Sorry if I am not fully understanding, but I do hope you articulate your subject better, as you seem to be condoning moral policing on the one hand, and promoting personal freedom on the other, which is completely contradictory.

Sadly you have chosen to interpert my words in your own way, while bahrain is a free and open country majorily there are those who want to restrict people to certain rules and guidelines based on relegion, hence why i said leave people to choose for themselves because if you deny them something they are going to do it anyway if they are convinced with it ….

Whatsupbahrain…

why dont the MPS turn their attention to the sex hungry males and the more than willing to comply females who sneak around renting apartements or going to secluded areas to finish their deeds and whats surprising is that most of these girls are the ones who are wearing the hijab supposedly being more religious and respectful.

I have been living in Bahrain for a while now and i really love it here, i find it to be very open, free and there is a sense of mutual respect between relegious/nonrelegious people. People are smart enough to decide what and what not to do if only they were allowed to exercise those rights.

Do you see the contradictions with those two statements? You can’t argue that the MPs should promote moral policing, while also stating that you respect how ‘open’ and ‘free’ the society may be.

You can’t have it both ways. Either you respect peoples rights to be free, so long as they respect other peoples rights to be free… or you deny them those rights. Picking and choosing freedoms based on your own moral inclinations or observations opens the entirety of our rights to the behest of a few individuals, be it patriarchy, class, majority, ethnicity/religion, or otherwise.

They should ‘turn their attention’ to institution building and development, as well as setting legislation that protects the inherit human rights of all human beings living within the state, so that no moral authority or otherwise, infringes upon them in the future. That is what democracies should seek to achieve if they want to promote longevity and equality.

I don’t think you need hayfa wahbe to corrupt the youth of Bahrain, all the repressions and the harams have alrady corrupted them more than any singer no matter how immoral she could be…. Why dont the MPS turn their attention to the sex hungry males and the more than willing to comply females who sneak around renting apartements or going to secluded areas to finish their deeds and whats surprising is that most of these girls are the ones who are wearing the hijab supposedly being more religious and respectful.

I have been living in Bahrain for a while now and i really love it here, i find it to be very open, free and there is a sense of mutual respect between relegious/nonrelegious people. People are smart enough to decide what and what not to do if only they were allowed to exercise those rights.

I hope the MPs acknowledge the people’s rights to make their own decesions, if someone is convinced with what he/she believes in they wouldn’t do/participate in events that would break their beliefs … leave people to decide what they want ….

Hi Reeshiez

As long as outsiders like me can read blogs addressing the real problems (like this one), Bahrain will be respected.
Haifa Wahby looks “healthy” by the way.

I wonder what outsiders would think of us if they knew that our parlimentary sessions include discussions on Haifa Wahby in a country which has countless problems including unemployment, inflation, political repression.. etc. How small these parlimentarian’s brains are.

Can’t the management, promoter or record company that represents Hayfa Wahbi sue the offending MP (or MPs)for slander, or if it has appeared in print, libel, or at least defamation of character? While it may not be a worthwhile cause that could be won, it may get the silly sods to think twice before spouting off.
Though looking at their past record, it probably wouldn’t make a difference. As an exercise it may prove interesting. If a blogger can be arrested for doing sod all, why not bring a court case against an MP for defamation of character?

Hayfa Wahbi is a wonderful talented woman. She has not hurt anybody. On the contrary, she makes many people happy with her music and video clips. She contributes more to charity in a year than what most people would in a life time. Now what is the problem with that?
