This is cool. A 28-year-old artist named Deeyah has been dubbed the 'Muslim Madonna,' and her most recent video is a harsh take on the Muslim world's treatment of women.
The video features Deeyah shedding a burka in favor of a bikini.
Sample lyrics from the song causing controversy, "What Will It Be?":
"Does the truth only come from the top of a holy man's spire?" "From three paces back, covered head to toe, like the rules that the man says and written just for show." "You can stand up, lay down, or follow. What will it be? Will it all be the same tomorrow?" "We don't take it lightly when you threatening women. How you have so much hate and you fake your religion?" "If you're that religious and not for trendy clothes, then what you doing even watching videos?"
