Comedian under fire for Burka Woman version of Pretty Woman
OP - December 24, 2010, 08:03 AM

A stand-up comedian has become a hate figure in Pakistan after his cheeky remake of Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman, with the title Burka Woman, became an internet sensation.

Saad Haroon has been accused of mocking Islamic values prompting bloggers to call for him to be stoned to death.

The video follows his tongue-in-cheek efforts at serenading a "sexy ninja" or "mystery prize" hidden beneath a black niqab, with only her dark eyes visible through a narrow slit.

"Burka woman, in your black sheet," he sings, "Burka woman, with your sexy feet, "Burka woman my love for you it grows, every time I see your toes." He even describes going home to "practise flirting with my living room curtain".

However, the video has caused a storm in Pakistan, the cradle of the Taliban, where conservative religious leaders hold considerable influence.

Earlier this year, access to YouTube, Wikipedia and Facebook was blocked after cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed were published online

"You should be stoned to death Saad Haroon Hell to You," reads one comment on YouTube, where the video has been posted. Others have chastised him for giving the West a chance to laugh at Islam.

He has also been deluged with threats sent by email.

Mr Haroon said that he had simply set out to make people laugh.

"I don't know if I'm brave or not. I'm a comedian. It's my job to make jokes about things," he said.

But he added that he was pleased his video had received supportive comments and started a debate about whether the burka had any place in Muslim society.

"Everyone has a right to say what they want. The crazies always shout loudest but I've also had positive comments from women in burkas who have come up to me after shows, saying how funny they found it," he said.

That is funny - lighten up Pakistan.

Don't worry dear Paloma., there are plenty of enlightened people from Pakistan.. They just need a bit of help to come out of the controls that these Burqa brained Bearded baboons have due to the tremendous political support that feudal rulers of Pakistan gave to these brainless idiots.

see this links http://www.zeenews.com/news675512.html it says That Pretty woman with Burqa song has plenty of supporters from Pakistan.

Who cares about Bearded baoboons with Burqas on their brain .. Let them rant on internet or tube videos., That is good they have something to do in life instead of bending their ass up 5 times a day without thinking what they are reading during that ritual and preaching silly stuff rest of 24 hours..

Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything

Ah Pakistan, such a bastion of inspiration for the world. No wonder there's absolutely NO Brain Drain going on there for the last 40 years. All Pakistanis want to stay in Pakistan, because of stuff like this. It's home sweet shithole.

Pakistan has to be as emphatically and enthusiastically Muslim as it can so as to nullify the influences from neighbouring filthy kuffar Hindu India.

People are using the internet to ask for other people to be put to death?
Perhaps it should be restricted to MENSA members or any one with an iota of common sense. The filth of religion needs purging into a big, big box, locking up and dumping into the deepest of oceanic trenches as soon as an impending mega sea floor slip can be detected.

How about you don't lump all religions together? What one religion does has no bearing on all religions.

Jainism too is a religion. Regardless of whatever concepts and beliefs are present within them that one might consider to be absurd. Still the likelihood of an Atheist such as yourself inflicting hurt or injustice against a Jain is far greater than vice versa.

So perhaps all Atheists should be isolated from Jains. Because the truth is Atheists are a threat to Jains and by Jain standards are default liable criminals.

fuck you can get stoned from having a foot fetish? I always check out the feet on burqah women, some have really cute feet. I guess Mo (Aka allah) was not aware that guys can get turned on by sex feet/toes.

Speaking of which, we should have a competition on here, come on ladies get your feet and toes out, post some pictures.

If, I ever got all the hate youtube comments I get from Muslims, the Salman Rushdie thing would become insignificant in comparison. This is why I never read this stupid paper. Stick to DailyMail at least its balanced and reasonable.

This song is excellent. What I do not understand is the lack of humor amongst the MuzzyNazis! What gives?

The most merciful Allah, who is more merciful than your own mortal mother, is capable of punishing you for eternity for a finite sin committed in a finite lifetime with finite knowledge, while your mother nor any living creature that is NOT a sadistic mother fucker would never commit such an act.

I have been making comments on this youtube video. This is my comment:
Can the people calling for his stoning provide me the Quranic verse or even saheeh bukhari's hadith in this reference?

I am sure you will burn in hell for even suggesting such a thing for someone innocent. (there are no 4 eye witnesses for actual act of adultery).

Just imagine the wrath of Allah that will fall upon you in hell for even suggesting taking life of an innocent human being.

Some idiot made this reply:
Assalâmu ‘Alaikum waRahmatu(A)llâhi waBarakâtuh

"Can the people calling for his stoning provide me the Quranic verse"

Aayah 65 and Aayah 80 of Soorah an-Nisâ.

My reply to him:
FUCK YOU!!!!

Where is the stoning part??

4:65

But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission.

He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah ; but those who turn away - We have not sent you over them as a guardian.
