I’m writing this from Saudi Arabia. Trust me when I say you don’t know how liberal and rich with activity your daily life is – no matter where you’re living. Especially if you’re a woman. But that has nothing to do with this post, just an observation.In today’s Arab News is the following item:Malaysia should stop the Kuala Lumpur leg of Gwen Stefani’s upcoming Asian tour because of her indecent dressing and obscenity, a Muslim students’ group said yesterday. The 10,000 strong National Union of Malaysian Students said Stefani’s Aug. 21 concert would clash with local Asian and Islamic values.“Her video clips are too obscene,” the Mohamad Hilmi Ramli, group’s president, told Reuters. “We want the organisers to cancel the concert, failing which we will ask the authorities to intervene.” Hilmi also criticised Malaysian mobile phone firm Maxis Communications for promoting the event.“Maxis has been staging a series of foreign acts… to make a profit and to expose our young generation to things such as moral decay,” he said.
