Christian Science Monitor:
Arab pop music is bold and brash. Its sensibilities straddle Cairo's middle class propriety and Hollywood's freewheeling hip-shaking.
Turn the TV dial to one of a dozen music video channels and you find a rare sea of exposed shoulders and bare midriffs in a town where most women are veiled.

Kinda think it's more like what's in the pic. It's just serving a background, no one really bothering to watch intently, like watching it till your food is served in the restaurant or waiting in line at the supermarke
I hope that lt doesn't end up like it MTV is in this country...
Here comes Ameican (and Western in general) trash culture. All cultures should ban the import of these despicable music and nudity which has corrupted and stifled America itself by selling sex and using women as sex objects.
Neither the Western immorality nor Islamic veiling of women should be acceptable to any civilized people.
these fundamentalists are only going to isolate muslims from the world.
Yes, I always liked the stories about those so-called fundamentalist Muslim hijackers from 9/11 who were drinking and carousing like any westerner.
they were going to be martyred, so they believed they had a one way ticket to heaven, no strings attached. So I can see why they would drink and go to strip clubs. They don't do good for goodness sake, they do it so they aren't punished by their god.
Like most fundamentalists, they aren't good people, just scared of god.
The wild thing about this story is that if you substitute the names in this story and terminology with traditionally American names and Christian terminology, it could be about the Christian Rock movement.
