SHH #2: Deeyah

The 28-year old "Muslim Madonna" is causing some contoversy lately. The singer, who was born in Norway but moved to the UK after her act alienated her from the Muslim community, has been forced to cancel performances and hire a team of bodyguards after inciting anger from British Muslims as well.

Her most recent video is a harsh take on the Muslim world's treatment of women. It features Deeyah shedding a burka in favor of a bikini. She is, of course, getting death threats.

But the video's not all about booty-shaking your way to freedom of expression. The video features other Muslim and Middle Eastern women who have fought for women's rights. There are women, throughout the video, pictured removing strips of tape from their mouths.
The Jawa Report thinks this is exactly the way to fight Islamofascism-- fight fire with hotness. Contact Music, however, reports that has come under fire from the leading Islamic council in Britain, which believes the singer is Hindu and is lying about her religion.

You can see the video here and here. To hear the song visit her myspace or click here for an MP3 clip.

Whatever it's all about all I know is she is some Super Hot Honee!

Here are links to her photos and bio on her website. Additional photos can be found here.
