Arrested for doing a music video?

Yea it may have been tacky but should anyone get arrested for making a music video?

Of course keep in mind that in Islam 'underwear' can refer to anything that is worn underneath the burka be it jeans shorts tee shirts bathing suits and so on.

And eating fruit in front of guys well that of course requires being arrested since obviously the Islamic male to immature to control themselves with the least little thing. One might even suggest that the reason for all the rules restricting what females can do is that the islamic male never mentally matures beyond adolescence.

But on the bright side of things assuming she is able to walk out of prison and still able to sing she will be world famous thanks to the government's arrest.

Can you say . . . Leave the country and do a music video about how female singers are treated by the Egyptian (islamic) government?

Egyptian singer Shyma.© Youtube Egyptian singer Shyma. star has been arrested in Egypt on suspicion of inciting debauchery in a music video.

Shyma, who was shown dancing in her underwear and eating fruit in front of classroom of men and a blackboard with “Class #69” written on it, was detained after the video caused numerous complaints.

Local media criticized the video.

Egyptian newspaper Youm7 added: “Singer Shyma presents a lesson in depravity to youths.”


For Shyma’s supporters, the pop star’s arrest was a symbol of women’s oppression in a country that was voted the worst in the Arab world for women in 2013.

The 21-year-old has apologized for the video, adding she was unaware it would cause such a backlash.

“I apologize to all the people who saw the clip and were upset by it and took it in an inappropriate way,” she wrote on social media.

“I didn't imagine all this would happen and that I would be subjected to such a strong attack from everyone, as a young singer... who has dreamt from a young age of being a singer.”

Egypt is a socially conservative and deeply religious country where women are urged by politicians not to talk loudly or laugh in public to avoid harassment by men.

Women have suffered dire consequences under successive leaders, with increasing cases of female genital mutilation, honour killings, domestic violence and sexual harassment.
