Islamic Conservatives Don't Really Like Beyonce

Someone pull Kanye West out of whichever crackhouse he fell asleep in last night and let him know Beyonce is getting dissed again. She's set to perform in Egypt, but certain groups aren't too happy about that according to AP:

As Egypt gears for pop diva Beyonce Knowles' first performance in North Africa, Islamic conservatives are branding her show an "insolent sex party" that threatens the Muslim nation's "social peace and stability."

On giant posters plastered across the Egyptian capital advertising the Friday evening concert, Beyonce sports a revealing, flame-covered outfit and grips a set of motorcycle handlebars extending from her hips — a sharp contrast to Cairo streets, where most women wear the traditional Muslim headscarves.

As much as I think Egypt needs to get with the times where women are objects of sex, not slavery, I do think it'd be weird if one of their pop stars was going to perform here and we had to look at huge posters of her dressed like a ninja. I kinda like the Muslim women who cover everything because, let's face it, most people are ugly. If they're covered, it leaves it all to the imagination.
