    I'd much rather have a lot of Muslim females take on IMPORTANT careers such as surgeons, lawyers, engineers, and teachers (which they tend to do, thankfully) rather than become waste of space celebrities, like we haven't got enough. There are a lot of low-key Muslim female actresses and singers in Arab countries (music and soap operas are big business in the Middle East & North Africa) but Muslim women generally have far too much humility to parade themselves around Hollywood.
    Regardless, I'll name you a few fairly well known "Muslim" female celebrities: Amal Berrabah from Sugababes was brought up in a Moroccan Muslim family, so was that Laila Rouass from Footballer's Wives (yet she insists she's Asian)
    brilliant post!

    I think that you'd find a lot of Muslim celebrities in the Pakistan media industry?

    Example:
    Mona Lizza-she is so pretty! :love:




    Konnie Huq is a British Muslim TV presenter and besides I see a lot of news readers/presenters who happen to be Muslim (I can tell that they are Muslim and not just brown and I do my research :rolleyes: ). :cool:


    EDIT: I'd appreciate it if someone gave me reason as to why the think that my post is neg-worthy.
    Konnie huq is not muslim i dont think or at least not any more, shes marrying her english boyfriend

    Oh right, but she still could be Muslim even if she marries a non muslim.

    All these Muslims saying that Muslim women have 'dignity', you are pathetic

    Are you seriously suggesting every actress, singer, sports-person, host etc is some sort of disgusting slut?

    Or you just mad? You jelly eh?

    Jews are funny. Muslims just aren't.
    Often they are, often unintentionally.

    Ok the only way of not being a Muslim anymore is committing the biggest sin which is shirk. Haha @ coincidentally.

    wouldn't really happen . . . . she may be of a muslim background or heritage but wouldn't be a practising muslim.

    I'm sure there are famous female singers in muslims countries but then there it is more about the voice whereas in the west its more about what she looks like and how much tits and arse she reveals (no doubt this is a trend which may be catching on in certain muslim countries)

    The Bollywood movie industry is the second biggest movie industry in the world film industry. I don't see a lack of famous muslim women at all.

    You're only noticing this, because in Western society it is rare to see either a male or female muslim celebrity. I can name a few whose names are still pretty popular; Konnie Huq (Blue Peter), Amir Kahn, and Zayn Malik (One Direction). I think Zayn in particular is a very good role model to all young men regardless of what faith they are. The way he dealt with the tragedy in his family recently, shows that he is still a very grounded, kind person and has not let the fame go to his head at all.
