The Muslim Madonna

MuslimSister —

Salaam

Some time ago I started a thread up regarding Deeyah…this so called Muslim Madonna who is often seen surrounded by three huge bodyguards, to protect her from people spitting on her, calling her a ***** blinding her with pepper spray, describing in detail how they’re going to cut her up bit by bit and leave her bleeding to death like the dirty, filthy pig they say she is.

I did kinda sympathise with her….its true that she didn’t ever make references to her faith or being a Muslim….and whilst everyone would agree that she is in the wrong violent/physical/verbal attacks on her were NOT justified at all.

In an interview she once said “The thing is, I’ve never put myself forward as a Muslim. Religion is something I don’t advertise” says Deeyah.

The other day I was in my friend’s house and she had saved Deeyah’s latest song on her computer for me to watch.

It was a very dodgy music video… but what struck me was the bit in the end when Deeyah is shown wearing a long, loose black Jilbaab and Niqab….and is seen dropping it to the ground to reveal a bikini top and a sarong….

Isn’t that just fully taking the mick?

She is also seen dancing with black guys who are wearing the Niqab?!

I’m not completely sure what message she’s trying to convey…but it’s obvious that she’s trying to make a stand against something.

There’s a rapper in the song who threatens to “shoot the Muslims who hate on her”.

It’s obvious that she’s trying to “get back” at all those people who make her life hell…. But what kind of logic is that? I can’t help but think that after this video she’s going to receive even more grief.

Has anyone seen or heard about the video?

unlike Miss UK, she aint telling anyone shes muslim or anything

but she IS a Muslim

AND she's taking the mick

Miss UK never did that

She was born into an islamic family but does that make her a muslim??. and what is the mick? Maddonna was born catholic, but that doesn't mean she's a christian. She didn't want to talk about islam because she didn't want to cause anymore racism but if she was being threatend there has to be a reaason and becaus they don't like her music won't do.

KANSAS?!

What the hell?!

I was expecting that when I would be joined by a fellow American it would be California or New York or some place that is populated...

But Kansas!?

Wow.

I guess or they wouldn't know but she didn't start using that until the assian newsstarted running it and she got more death threats.

stmarkI didn't see a body onn it so it mighht not be a crucifix. Somebody saidd it' a fashon thing in india and I read her origenal name depika is hindu.

It's at least a cross, at worst a crucifix.

Although on closer inspection it does look rather strange doesn't it...

Most people here seem to think she is a muslim - I don't think that's gonna matter down south though, that aint gonna fly.

A course like everybody pointed out she didn't break outta england and probably won't. Doesn't seem to have any steam.

I read she went to los vegas and toured the US.. I think she is mad at islam becausee a muslim cut her freainds face and ruined her freind's modeling career as well as what some muslims did to her. http://deeyahboard.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=24

stmarkWhat is mick?

"taking the mick" is a much more politer way of saying "taking the p***"

one could be even more polite and say "taking the biscuit"

deeyah was "taking the mick" when she was seen wearing a long jilbaab and niqab and dropping it to the ground revealing it all :roll:

judda Wed, 28 Sep 2005 - 12:26

no she was not

Actually I got it from islamica community forums where they have a topic about her. I never heard of her until I went there. I only posted a link to the article, not the forum.

Dave Wed, 28 Sep 2005 - 18:20

so... what's your thing with her...

You appear to feel rather strongly on the topic, whats your position?

I just think asian women are pretty, but I think that about most women I don't agree with how she is dressed but I am glad she is not letting the death threats keep her from doing what she wants to do. I usually dont listen to celebrities so my life does not revolve around them, I just found it on islamica and I thought it was an oxymoron. I thought she would be wearing muslim dress but I guess not. What I really think is they made her the way she iss and if she takes the mick out of islam, whatever that is it's their own fault.

Who's "they" and you cannot make sum1 into sumthin, only a person him/herself has the control to do that.

The people who did this to her and her freind. People can and do influence other people's choices.Deeyah was just being Deeyah and those muslims shouldn't have done what they did. Of course she could just be making it up but I don't think so.

Are you sure someone did anything, and it was not all a marketing rouse?

and who gave her the name muslim madonna? she herself?

No I don't know what to believe on the internet anymore but if that article is true it was the papers that called her the muslim madonna.. Evidently it has become a marketing ploy because that picture where she's whering a cross has those words in the background. If that article is true those asians did more harm to islam than good.

The material girls real name is:

Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone

Veronica doesn't suit the floozy it's too clean a name. Actually so is Madonna. How ironic she's named after Mary (ra) mother of Jesus (Peace be upon Him) 🙁

yashmaki Thu, 29 Sep 2005 - 23:02

I notice you girls and guys bought up the topic of salman rushdie..i;ve not read the satanic verses because the title doesn't appeal to me and i've heard he's got a death threat looming over him.

Anyway i recently finished reading "desperately seeking paradise" by ziauddin sardar, it mentioned the salman rushdie contraversy, in one whole chapter. I was quite shocked by how this man took our prophet's biography (pbuh), and made it out to be his own "fiction" story. He only made slight changes to names, made outrageously offensive caricatures of every key figure in the history of Islam, all the wives of the prophet (ra), all the companions (ra) nothing went untouched. He used Martin lings biography as an outline. How he wasn't done for libel or blasphemy beats me. The book suggests the climate the book was written in, with thatcherite rule, racism, and the bnp ideas on the rise, meant the discrimination was justified, and overlooked.

In light of the new laws can't he be done for blasphemy. I mean muslim book shops are gona be scrutinised for any so called "terrorist" material for the greater good of society. What good in society does this book serve? Shouldn't all book shops be vetted, why just islamic ones?

Question do books go through a vetting process before they're deemed suitable for the public to read, or can any joe blogs produce some trash and get it out there as long as he/she finds a publisher?

P.S even though the man makes my blood boil i wana read the book to be informed myself rather than via a third party.

Bear in mind she's from a strict Catholic family background.

How many of us live up to our names?
