Brickbat: Song and Dance

Egyptian authorities arrested belly dancer Sohila Tarek Hassan Haggag at Cairo International Airport, charging her with "corrupting public morals" over dance videos posted on social media, where she has over 2 million followers. The arrest is part of a broader crackdown under President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's government, which has jailed at least five other belly dancers in recent years for similar morality-related charges. Haggag, a naturalized Italian citizen who returned to Egypt after divorcing an Italian, faces allegations of wearing "indecent clothing" and using "seductive techniques." The Italian embassy in Cairo has gotten involved in the case.

So, "just say no" to dancing like an Egyptian! Allah = = Egyptian Government Almighty says so!

Is shit still OK to go walking like an Egyptian? Does Allah = = Egyptian Government Almighty approve of that?

(Also I want to know, did Dear Orange Leader go Egyptian belly-dancing with Epstein, ass well ass with Spermy Daniels? Is THAT why the Epstein files can SNOT be released? Shit shouldn't take an Epstein to finger this out! Just apply a simplified version of Epstein's Theory of SlutativeShitty! Everything is slutative; that's all!)

Sounds like some sort of pyramid scheme.

[mad.casual]

Obviously subject to a Haggag order.

[Chumby]

If she maintains she did nothing wrong, they might label her as the queen of da Nile.

[mad.casual]

Perp walk like an Egyptian either way.

[Chumby]

Bet that arrest was a tightening of the sphinx moment.

[Stupid Government Tricks]

Her lawyers will belly up to the bar.

[Chumby]

The Egyptian government couldn’t stomach her behavior.

[Don't look at me! ( Is the war over yet?)]

There was a lot of tut-tut in the government over this.

"Haggag, a naturalized Italian citizen who returned to Egypt after divorcing an Italian, faces allegations of wearing "indecent clothing" and using "seductive techniques."

Who would have thought that this would have happened in a majority Muslim country as opposed to Italy?

[But SkyNet is a Private Company]

That’s awful. If there was a video then we could watch the video

Haggag, a naturalized Italian citizen who returned to Egypt after divorcing an Italian...

I think I'm seeing a pattern of behavior.

[Chumby]

She should be invited into the US, given asylum, and have US taxpayers fund her lifestyle. Perhaps have taxpayers also pick up the cost of cosplay gender reassignment after which she could bellydance in front of elementary school children while reading them passages from Dr Suss’ The Fat in the Matt.

[Quo Usque Tandem]

Who could possibly have a follow up to these comments...

Aren’t there crocodiles in the Nile? Egyptian officials could place her in a detainment facility surrounded by them while processing her deportation papers.

[Eeyore]

Maybe we should introduce the Nile Crocodile as an invasive species to Florida. I understand they are way more aggressive than the American ones.

She has those inflated duck lips. Women should be arrested for getting those.

[mad.casual]

She's also got the "body positive" I'm-more-than-50-lbs.-overweight-but-pretend-I'm-thicc (all links prolly NSFW, duh) thing going on. There are thicc women and then there are thick women.

According to scripture:
[clears throat]
Oh, Rump-o'-*smooth*-skin
...
Shake that *healthy* butt,
...
I'll keep my women like *Flo Jo*

The shapely curves are the feature, not the ability to shut down a Waffle House.

[Eeyore]

That thicc woman is what I call ripped.

[mad.casual]

I would have to see the front. The part(s) relevant to the conversation are not ripped, IMO.

My point was how in the body positivity current, "baby got back" has been inflated to the point that women who look like 200 lb. pear-shaped bags of cottage cheese with nails, lips, and hair extensions are considered "thicc"/attractive/desirable.

[Eeyore]

I didn't look at the first image before. Are we sure that is real? Looks like something AI would imagine. So so very round.

[Chumby]

What about Penus Williams?

So Muslim countries are not all in on Western activities? This is a news flash? Respect the countries you are in and their laws or don't go there. Next thing you know there is going to be a shocking Brickbat story about gays being thrown off buildings in Gaza.
