Anti-Obama Viral Video By Egyptian Belly Dancer

Egyptian singer/belly dancer/satirist Sama Al-Masri (Elmasry) has another viral video on her hand. Not afraid to show her disdain for Mohammed Morsi, she's now tackling Barack Obama and U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson for their support of the Muslim Brotherhood. She's also not too fond of Turkey and Israel.

It should be noted that Sama was secretly wed to a Salafist MP, Anwar al-Balkimi (or Balkimy) aka the "nose job MP", until she discovered he was married with kids. Al-Balkimi denied the marriage, then again he also denied having a nose job, which is a major no-no in Islam. All rather odd since she so hates Islamists.

Video- Famous Egyptian Belly Dancer Pokes Fun Of Hijabis- I think

I found this video on Facebook, and since it's an Arabic site I have no clue who they are and what they stand for.

I think this is the famous Egyptian belly dancer/actress Sama al-Masri (or el-Masry) who performed a satirical anti-Morsi constitution belly dance protest last year, but I could be wrong. They have the same style.

I have no clue what she's saying, or what she's lampooning, but she's amusing as ever. Looks like she might be poking fun at hijabis, but who knows.

Most of the people commenting on the video were not very complimentary, as far as I could glean from the Bing translation.

Famous Egyptian Belly Dancer Protests Morsi's Constitution- Video

Here's  Egyptian Sama al-Masri, the belly dancer/actress who was secretly married to the Salafi "nose job" MP until she discovered he was married to another woman, doing a little satirical belly dancing protest against President Mohammed Morsi's constitution.

Islamists Caught With Their Pants Down

For all their so-called piousness conservative Islamist politicians are just as likely to stray from the moral path as say their conservative Christian counterparts. We've had our share of Christian political conservatives who have been caught with their pants down, so to speak, but so have Muslims.

There's the Egyptian cleric and MP for the uber conservative Salafi Al Nour Party, Ali Wanis, who was caught with his 19-year old girlfriend in a car "engaged in an indecent act." Now that might seem harmless to a Westerner, but in Islam it's forbidden to have sexual relations prior to marriage. And from the same political party, there's Anwar al-Balkimi (or Balkimy) aka the "nose job MP" who lied about getting a nose job because it's not allowed in Islam. He also apparently secretly married a famous belly dancer, Sama al-Masri, while still married to another woman. Again, polygamy is allowed in Islam, the problem is he didn't tell Sama, and no-one knew they were married, probably because she's definitely not conservative. When Sama discovered the truth about al-Balkimi she filed for divorce, which was how the rest of Egypt found out.

Now the latest Islamist scandal comes out of Tunisia.

Tunisia’s Foreign Minister Rafik Abdessalem, from the ruling Islamist Ennahda party, has found himself at the center of an embarrassing scandal following accusations of public money embezzlement and involvement in an extramarital affair.

According to documents published by Tunisian journalist and blogger, Olfa Riahi, the Islamist minister spent several nights at the Sheraton hotel in Tunis with a woman and paid for his stay from the government’s coffers.

Riahi she obtained the receipt and the billing information bearing names of the minister and his alleged mistress. In an interview with alchourouk.com, Riahi said it took her two and half months to verify the authenticity of the documents and trace the bill payments.

“I have the bank account of the foreign ministry and I am certain the documents are authentic,” calling on the authorities to open a probe into the “scandal.”

The minister appeared in the state television dismissing the allegations as part of a plot against his Islamist government. He said he expects similar accusations to be leveled against other ministers.

But he admitted staying at the Sheraton hotel “because he does not own a house in the capital and because the hotel was near his office.” He also admitted that the woman mentioned in Riahi’s documents was true, but said she was a “relative” who came to see him at the hotel.

Naturally they've all denied any wrongdoing, blaming the accusations on plots to bring down the Islamists. Wanis claimed he was just wiping his sick girlfriend's face, and al-Balkimi claimed he didn't even know Sama.

If you are going to claim moral superiority, make sure you live up to it, otherwise you're just a hypocrite, like these men.

The Islamist Salafi Egyptian "Nose Job MP" Swears He Was Never Married To Belly Dancer

Egyptian Islamist politician Anwar al-Balkimi (or Balkimy) aka the "nose job MP", is finding himself in deep doo-doo these days. First of all, the Islamist Salafist al-Nour MP was fired for getting a nose job, which is haram (forbidden) in Islam. He also happened to lie about the cosmetic procedure claiming he had actually been beaten after 5 masked men stopped him while traveling the Cairo-Alexandria desert highway and ran off with 100,000 Egyptian pounds of his.

The latest scandal has to do with Sama al-Masri a beautiful Egyptian actress/belly dancer who filed for divorce from the married father of young children after discovering he had another wife. Of course, having multiple wives in Islam is acceptable, but Sama had no clue, or so she says. Apparently, Sama and Anwar were secretly wed- obviously something he wanted kept hidden since he's an uber-conservative Muslim and Sama is an unveiled belly dancer, of all things.

She also claims that she has received threats, and believes Balkimi is the instigator. 

Regarding the threats, Masri said that she did not want to accuse anyone in the beginning but later discovered that it was her husband who hired people to threaten her with death and with throwing acid on her face.

Although all she wants is the divorce and the pre-nup agreed upon amount of 250,000 Egyptian pounds (approximately £27,000), it wasn't always bad. After all,

Masri admitted [snip] that Balkimi has given her a lot of support since they got married. In the lawsuit, she said that he bought her a car and opened several businesses for her that eventually enabled her of producing her first movie, in which she is also the lead actress.

But this is where it gets even more interesting: al-Balkimi swears he has no clue who Masri is, and that it's a liberal plot to bring him (and Islamists) down. (They have conspiracy theories there too.)

“This is dangerous as they are aiming to tarnish the reputation of the Islamists in the country."

“I never heard of this lady except on Thursday when I was having breakfast with my wife and children and one of my friends surprised me with a phone call telling of what the belly dancer is saying against me,” Balkimi told Al Arabiya.net.

“I have never ever known her before, I swear.”

Right. Just like his nose job wasn't a nose job. But the whole story is laughably bizarre.

I can't begin to imagine what his appeal was, other than the gifts she received from him.  And whether she was married or his mistress, he's just a big 'ol hypocrite, as most of the Islamists are.
