Pardon my French, but you have got to be shitting me:(…) An Egyptian cleric assured that (Shakira) “could be a lovely person. Yet beauty is something relative that cannot be found in the butt or legs of a woman, but in her moral values”…Great, another pathetic rant in order to promote “moral values.”
Khaled Al-Gindi said: “it’s like being a prostitute. In this country we respect moral values ahead of the values of a superficial appearance.” - [ed. personal translation]
Of course, it’s easy to rant against someone who is as immoral as to help spearhead a Latin American charity or to take time from her whorish schedule to meet with world leaders. Oh the horror of such ghastly behavior! Avert your eyes from such a sight!
Sadly, this hasn’t been the first time the pop star has been targeted by theocrats; last year, conservative factions in Afghanistan helped push “Draconian new media legislation” in response to her moves at a televised concert.

to paraphrase Coming to America's Reverend Brown, "If lovin' Shakira is wrong-ah, I don't wanna be right-ah."
