Why Arab media is obsessed with Lindsay Lohan
(World News) 6 years ago

Lindsay Lohan’s interest in Islam has been a media staple for months,You want to know why? read below 'gulfnews' full article...

 

The actress of ‘The Mean Girls’ and ‘Freaky Friday’ is hailed by Arab and Muslim media and numerous social media users as some kind of a cultural and religion saviour.

 

Lohan’s interest and possible conversion to Islam has branched into all sorts of areas of discussion.

 

She has been brutally criticised by many who have branded her a race traitor, and has been, according to her, ‘racially profiled’ during a recent trip to the United States.

 

Conflating race and religion is typical of western society wherein cultural appropriation foolishly defines certain religions as western and others as ‘ethnic’, ‘coloured’ and ‘foreign.’

 

While Lohan is still making up her mind about whether to join the Muslim faith or not, she recently announced that she will be launching a new fashion line.

 

The announcement on Instagram was accompanied by a photo in which the actress was covering her head and part of her face with a crystals-embellished scarf.

 

Many, including some in the media, are deducing that the fashion line is that of the modest, Muslim variety.

 

Concurrently, a most recent death-toll estimate of war-torn Syria has reached a new high. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights 321,000 people are confirmed dead as a result of the war, while a further 145,000 are still missing.[gulfnews]
