Kuwaiti Singer Shams Bandar Supports of Homosexuals and Sex Education in the Arab World, Adds: Lying Is Characteristic of the Arab Peoples; We Muslims Are the Most Extreme People
In a TV interview, Kuwaiti singer Shams Bandar said that she supported sex education in the Arab world and that she had gay friends, criticizing those who convey one message to the cameras and another behind closed doors. Lying, she said, "is characteristic of the Arab peoples" because "the concept of shame and morality forces us to make claims that contradict our conduct in real life." Bandar said that her song "What Is Your Father's Religion" was directed toward Muslim extremists, because "we are the most extreme people," adding: "If we stopped ruling others, there would be no extremism at all." Bandar, who came under fire for a tweet in which she had written that the Turks "are known for not using deodorant, and for eating lots of garlic, onion, and meat," denied that she was racist, claiming that she was "just trying to advise her female fans to marry Arab men" because they "have no problem with using deodorant." The interview aired on the Egyptian ON TV channel on January 19.2018
