In the name of God, compassionate & merciful بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ | Peace be with you السلام عليكم
This all started with a little bit of "pa-pa-pokerface... erm Lady Gaga".
Sex is what sells in these American States not the talent. This is more of a fact then an opinion to me, though many beg to differ.
I would like to ask you to sit back and ask yourselves would your favorite artist and entertainers be who they are without the 'sex factor'. For example would Britney Spears be Britney Spears if she didn't wear that little revealing school uniform in "Hit Me Baby One More Time"? With all due respect I LOVE BRITNEY, but if she rocked an abaya in her next music video would ALL her fans stick by her side? I think not as much. Britney isn't really known for being a vocalist but an entertainer. Therefore if she trashed her clothes and her provocative dance moves, who would she be? Nothing more.
Some people, I could name a few, believe that because somebody, like Britney, is a celebrity it's OK for that dress, those actions, that style. It's "OK" to wear revealing clothes and dance like that, to do crazy stuff and drink all day. It's OK because they are an "exception" to the Muslim lifestyle.
Last time I checked Allah (swt) is not going to let your sins pass based on your social status. You wash your bad deeds by asking for forgiveness and replacing them with good deeds not by doing more bad deeds, especially now in Ramadan. When you give the celebrities an "OK" you just gave all their fans an OK.
Well, maybe it's worse in the "Land of the Free" but it's going on everywhere. So I leave you with this: take a look at your favorite artists and take only the good, leave out the bad completely. Keep your Muslimness with you and on your iPod no matter where you are! :D

A video I was watching on Youtube made me think deep... To Muxlimers unable to see the embedded video click here.
That's in South Yemen. I am from South Yemen, not the city that is shown but Aden city babyhaha! (: Well, there's a bit of a revolution going on there that very few seemed to be concered about. I mean Arab news is occasionally talking about it but seems like the rest of the world doesn't care. As if South Yemeni blood is cheap.
We are very few in number and I am always hearing stories about how somebody gets shot or injured there. I wish there was more that I could do but all I can do is tell people about it. I heard of some South Yemenis protesting in Washington D.C, and I hate to be negative but the only time America helps those in need is when it benefits them. Why do you think when Iranians took to the streets America was so concerned? We don't have much to offer but it doesn't and shouldn't make us any less worthy. Maybe if this got more attention maybe we could solve this problem.
Anyways the Yemenis took to the street because, believe it or not, we are facing big discrimination! Yeah, Yemenis will deny this. They say Yemenis are "supposed to be brothers" but we are not treated in that way. They would give a Northerner a job who has no education over a Southerner who graduated college, does that seem fair?
Look at how much the cities of the South have changed since the Northern occupation and tell me if you don't see something wrong. Although I am all for the Khalifah, I am not for injustice. And I don't support the unity of North and South Yemen.
Okay, sorry I get caught up in that. I know you're like 'Dee shut up already'. Haha. Never!
