Bollywood vs. Bin Laden: Radical Islam fears pop culture

Some time ago Libertarian Republican featured a Muslim model and actress, Veena Malic, who earned the ire of Clerics by appearing in an Indian reality show. When challenged by one of them she fought back and became something of a heroine across the web.

Islamic radical clergy have been railing about the effect of western music, which they wanted, banned as it distracts youth from their religious duties. I have always advocated that we hit them with rock and roll; they have no defense mechanisms against it.

The new threat to them seems to be Bollywood. I can’t say I’m surprised, damn nice chicks, and catchy.
