>A popular Australian rapper, Iggy Azalea, is being accused by Saudi clerics and authorities of "blasphemy" for a concert she performed last Friday in the capital of Riyadh. The occasion was the Gamers8 Esports tournament for which she was invited as a special performer. Controversial songs included Goddess, in which she asked the audience to "bow down to a goddess" - and also there was the moment she exclaimed "Ladies, make some noise, it's a woman's world!" Of course, this is ultra-male dominated Saudi society, where women are told by Islamic law they must wear the full Muslim veil and that unmarried women shouldn't go out without a male family escort—all of his enforced by Sharia law courts and 'morality police'. The whole performance is being accused of being anti-Islamic, especially for lines from her lyrics which seemed directed at Islam or monotheistic religions in general like "...preaching about prophets, it ain't no one man can stop us, bow down to a goddess."
