Badia Masabni
Venus - Articles
Believe me, we all know that the bedlah was invented by Hollywood and Europeans theater companies.
Another well written and researched book to find is A TRADE LIKE ANY OTHER: FEMALE SINGERS AND DANCERS IN EGYPT by Karin Van Nieuwkerk
This woman interviwed many dancer from Mohamed Ali Street who told her what they use to wear in the old days. The Mohamed Ali street dancers didn't start wearing beblah till the 1960s
ANOTHER BOOK
LOOKING FOR LITTLE EGYPT by Donna Carlton
She shows many pictures of dancers from Egypt, Turkey Algeria, Palestine and Syria who performed at the World's Fair in 1893. ALL of them were totally covered and wore traditional clothes. |
don't stereotype the internet
anyway this still never prove that Islam allow belly dancing
and never prove Muslim woman used to dance in veil and whole body covered before westerners hear about belly dancing
listen sir, i have an idea:
i think you said you visit Egypt always, so why don't you go to the nearest mosque of your hotel and ask it's imam if Islam allow belly dancing
and let's see what he gonna answer you
tell him you are a belly dancer and tell us what he gonna say about you
to the nearest hotel not nearest bar, because i don't wanna you say stuff like:
he does not represent Islam or the imam don't know about Islam well |
