The Singer Vs The Imams: We Have A Winner!

Popular - and provocative - Lebanese singer Haifa Wehbe performed in Bahrain Wednesday night, despite opposition from religious politicians and conservative clerics.

According to today's Gulf News, Wehbe wore a "floor length dress, but with spaghetti straps."

Hey, you didn't expect her to wear a turtleneck, did you?

The concert venue was just a few hundred meters from the Parliament, where Islamist MP's had objected to the show because, according to them, Wehbe has "no respect for traditional and religious values."
To those people who are bagging on Haifa Wehbe, I have one think to tell all of you! LEAVE HER ALONE, AND GO WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN PROBLEMS! Haifa is just trying to live her life. If you dont like her videos, or concerts then dont watch them nor go to her concerts. (RRange08) 1:14 PM
