The Moslem Madonna

A full-page article in the Volkskrant today about Deeyah, who has been called the Moslem Madonna. She has been threatened with death by fundamentalists because of her appearance and performances. Accompanying the article is a link to her latest video What Will Be. It it, she has taken a leaf out of Theo van Gogh’s book – images of women and others gagged with tape are projected onto her bare flesh. The face of van Gogh also makes a brief appearance.
