Pop Goes Islam
Description
4shbab, "Islam's own MTV," was launched by Egyptian entrepreneur Ahmed Abu Haiba to bring contemporary music to young Muslims without showing scantily-clad women - or any women at all. Yasmine Mohsen, who adheres to a similar mix of Islamic modesty and pop cultural sensibilities in her career as a veiled fashion model, successfully petitioned Haiba for her own girl-centric show on 4shbab. Their collaboration has angered Muslim traditionalists, although Haiba and Mohsen would both be considered conservative by Western standards. In this program Ahmed Abu Haiba and Yasmine Mohsen discuss their goals for 4shbab and the challenges of being at the vanguard of cultural change within their religion.
