What she is is a gorgeous muslim woman. We don't see a lot of those out there.
Wow!! Imagine how hot she'd look in a black tablecloth.
She has to stand alone and in a state of nakedness in front of her Maker on the final day. It's up to him. Free will. I can't judge that's for sure.
I have friends of all religions. As a woman and a Christian, I feel it is important to lead by example. This young lady could have worked towards an education, started a business and helped others. However, she took the easier route to make money off displaying her body and shaming her closest loved ones. I don't believe Islam teaches it's followers to be selfish, driven by fame or money. She may need to listen more to Allah than her inner self-serving thoughts.
what makes you think she will not do those things with the money she makes being a model?
Yep, and here we have proof that conservative followers of Abrahamic faiths are basically the same.
" displaying her body and shaming her closest loved ones."
The only ons who should be ashamed are the sick perverts who are unable to look at a womans skin without getting all freaked out and jyzzin their pants. The human form, especially that of a woman, is beautiful and to be admired and celebrated, not hidden under a sheet because someone is afraid of silly imaginary demons who make you think bad thoughts. It's the forbidden nature of s e x that makes it so powerful. Show a guy at Venice beach a womans heels and he won't bat an eye, but go flashing a heel in certain Muslim countries and you have judges using that as an excuse to justify a group of men who commited gang r a p e. This sick perverted male dominated society is coming to an end the world over so muslim countries better get used to the sight of women without their Hijabs.
@ Tim:
Would you see your mother naked and in front of the world? same applies to your sisters, wife and daughter? i bet you wouldn't... if you do then i would say the animals are the most civilized creatures...
If you read in Genesis: first thing Adam and Eve did after eating from the food is covered themselves with whatever they could have grabbed... what does tells you brother in mankind?
Day by day the shame is getting out of our society... and there was a time when a woman in this country were not allowed to be beach without being covered... now what change we see in perhaps 50 years and imagine what we will see after 50 years if its not being stopped...
I would like to invite all my friends to view General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints tomorrow morning (Saturday) at 10:00 mst. Just click on lds.org.
Whew! at least the spot light isn't on us this time!!
-said the Christian
(lol, just kidding) It's always interesting when ppl who aren't apart of a certain faith (i.e christianity, islam, jewish, etc) feel they are an expert on how a person of that faith should conduct themselves. Worry about your ownself and stop assuming that someone should "act" a certain way because they are a "christian" or insert your favorite faith in the "".
I'd guess she's about as much of a devout Muslim as Hitler was a devout Catholic.
Allah Damn!!
They are commtted to promote their Islam by all means. Snakes shed their skin gradually!
This pic is only to start an argument without a good conclusion.
O BOY: Here we go again! She is a beautiflul woman with a mind of her own! While I do not recognize the muslim religion because of its teachings, what is the difference between this woman, the catholic church scandals, our high flying pastors, preachers, etc., making millions, born again christians, etc.?
Religion plays 2nd fiddle to it's first commandment – MONEY. !
Indonesian and Malayan women don't cover themselves up. Hajib is a cultural rule, not Islam. Allah says it's an apostasy to kill other muslims, doesn't seem to slow them down much....
More bikinis and less religion.
Amen to that!..wait...
I hear that!
if there is a god, he would only have 2 things to say to us.
raise your children to be better people than you.
and give them a better world than you inherited.
That picture is just downright crass, vulgur and obnoxious.
You know, it isn't the men buying those skimpy swimsuits and lacey lingerie.
Why? Men sit like that all the time. Their junk doesn't need THAT much room...
Do you also argue over the MANY women that wear alluring clothes? You know those sprayed on dresses that stop about 4" above the knee, etc.?
if it offends you, do not look at it
The fact is that nudists are the least perverted people in the world and they prove it daily by standing there in their own skin not trying to hide who they are to the world.
@Women are not objects!
Comments like that completely invalidate the fact that this woman is a professional working in the field of her choice. Why would you seek to curtail a woman's choice?
North Carolina and south carolina( helms, Thurmond) like the pharisees. Talk the talk.
My friend Mohammad A. Dar and I fiercely debated se xual fantasies of muslim men and women last night, we spent half of the night debating (actually, trading insults), but he categorically denied my evidence aka ca 1800 muslim artworks clearly portraying muslim man having s ex with animals, and muslim woman using carrots as dil dos.

My point is muslims were/are 100 years ahead of American liberals
Would like to know what is written on these paintings.
Oh, I dunno, STFU...men porking their livestock are usually deep south 'necks that vote the 'straight' GOP ballot...
Money talks.
Yep.
A bimbo is a bimbo is a bimbo!
"I'm a faithful Muslim"
We believe that as much as we believe it is a religion of peace.
