Bellydancer in Egypt after the revolution


Bellydancer in Egypt after the revolution



After the Egyptian Revolution the Salafist s( ultra-conservative islamists) are trying to introduce their views of Sharia Law, lately some news have arise in the midia as below:

"Vigilante gangs of ultra-conservative Salafi men have been harassing shop owners and female customers in rural towns around Egypt for “indecent behavior,” according to reports in the Egyptian news media. But when they burst into a beauty salon in the Nile delta town of Benha this week and ordered the women inside to stop what they were doing or face physical punishment, the women struck back, whipping them with their own canes before kicking them out to the street in front of an astonished crowd of onlookers."

They will of course target everyone including bellydancers but Egyptians are not willing for a conservative state, they do love religion but they also want freedom and the Azhar ( the most religious institute in Egypt) already issued a statement that this groups are not eligible to do so, So lets wait and see what the future brings.
