Does anyone really win in issues like these? It gets a brief spotlight of attention then a decision is made by the governmental body controlling the country and the clerics then they react. Each country has their own laws and beliefs. I have seen clips of Hafia performing and I wouldn't let my child go to see her either. That is a personal choice and I have to do what I think is best for myself and my family as others have to do the same for theirs. Opinions vary but I don't think my family will be missing anything of value by not seeing her show. I suspect there are a lot of people that feel them same way.

Is it censorship? Maybe, but if someone wants to see this show it will look just like all the other ones she has done. Rent the CD and save a few dollars and watch it in the privacy of your own home. Those that want to watch her perform and listen to her music and racy style are going to see her one way or the other. What ever the government does it will not stop people from listening to her.

An excellent post and commentary by Mr. Kaminski, and being blessed enough to live in a rational and principled democracy, I share all of his points, especially the fact that I would never allow my children or infact anyone to patronize this "artist". But, the reality is that although we in the West, and indeed the European Union, have had 50 or more years of an evolutionary cycle of public and entertainment taste and expressionism which has been guided by both the free market as well as jurisprudential analysis and implementation, the middle east, is largely still held in a centuries old hypocrisy by a ruling elite which parties in Las Vegas and Paris and yet forces their citizenry to live in veils, internet blackouts, and without media, artistic, or any form of real freedom of expression.

And so, although, I share, Mr. Kaminski's analysis, I must caution that when a people are forced by their ruling elite for generations to have no voice or freedom, there will inevitably be a cultural and artistic backlash, it is simply a reality of the human condition.

Sadly, this "artist" is going to benefit and likely is already in monetary terms as a result of the state sponsored repression, but clearly, once true freedom of artistic expression is provided this "artist" will be contextualized by the market system and her fans who will then have a multiplicity of choices - rather than a limited number of options.

This is ridiculous. Now Haifa Wehbe is corrupting the morality of people. If so, what about Britney Spears, Beyonce or Shakira's video clips. If Haifa is provocative in her clips, well that's part of what she is. and people seem to like her. Though I am not that fan of her, yet I don't see any morality corruption in her clips.
