Shakira is immoral, claims cleric

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”…

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]

Great, another pathetic rant in order to promote “moral values.”

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.
