Sunny Days in Heaven Spiritual/Political/Philosophical Blog on the Nature of Truth and Falsehood and Heaven |
Saturday, November 01, 2003 MTV comes to Medina (Sharif don't like it. Rock the Casbah!) Got links from NRO to Reason about Arab music videos - think - "sexy, whiskey, democracy!" One of the more provocative female singers has a hot video of her dancing in the rain in a red dress. Her site is a bit tricky and tedius in doing all sorts of flash things, but stick with it to get to her home page and video clips. Apparently many of these sexy Arab female singers are Christians. Many commentators believe that such pop culture indulgence will transform Muslim and Arab societies. I suppose it will, but is that really a good thing? Is the West better for having MTV, VH-1, Playboy, satellite porn, and the sexualization of children? Can we not understand why Islamic moralists might think this kind of license is harmful to a society? Decadence and depravity are not pretty sights. posted by Mark Butterworth | 5:03 PM | |
