Ola is so desperate to get back her body after giving birth. She's scared brands work with het anymore because who's going to finance her life? Her husband ista being so productive anyways. She was indeed back outside after 10 days I think. I even think she a c-section delivery and not a normal delivery. Anyways she's just looks off with her wanting her life back so quickly after she took years to get pregnant...

Is contacts lol! I've never ever ever seen her face without a filter/photoshop and I've been following her for years. I heard to that she is married to an old man but idk how accurate is that info

I just hate how Sara Almadani keeps justifying her behavior and choices that they are not made based on traditions and religion, but because she chose to. Is it shameful or embarrassing to say you don’t drink because it’s haram? Now I understand you want to portray the rebellious girl who thinks traditions are passé, but you consider yourself a Muslim, and you should be proud of being one. She had to recall this incident in which she ordered a cocktail and had alcohol in it by mistake, and she got sick and had diarrhea etc, and that’s how she knew booze was not her thing. And also when she talked about wearing modest clothes she said it’s not just about religion or traditions, but she chose to cover her body.
In my opinion, I think that she can explain her ideas and talk about her love of modesty in clothing, not drinking etc, without mentioning religion and traditions. It’s better than saying “it’s not because of this and that” as if it’s a shameful thing if it actually was.

I didn’t know alcohol gave you diarrhoea…she’s just saying all that to be different

Have you guys seen the backlash that hudabeauty received over her LGBTQ post. She got dragged by people. This page I followed called Emirati.trends absolutely ripped her apart but I forgot to take screenshots But basically their boycotting her brand and products. She even turned off her comments on the post.

Right alcohol doesn’t give you diarrhea wtf and I’m sure she was lying anyway bc how do you order a drink and not know it has alcohol? If you’re in the gulf, you would def know. If you’re in the west then you should also know to tell the waiter you dont drink alcohol but even so it says there is alcohol on the menu.

As for Huda I just looked it up, that’s crazy, do you think it’s justified? On one hand yes she is in the Middle East and being gay isn’t aligned with Islam. Even I think it is silly when people say they are gay and also Muslim, these two things don’t go together, same with Christianity. It doesn’t make sense to show you support religion when realistically the religion is not supporting you. on the other hand - personally I think this backlash is extreme. They are saying they should boycott and ban the company in uae because of her personal beliefs and because it’s an Islamic country. That’s interesting to me that people pick and choose what to be outraged about.. gambling is also illegal and not permitted in Islam sa7? So why is there a casino being opened in ras el khaimah? Muslims shouldn’t drink alcohol sa7? So why is there more and more bars and restaurants serving up alcohol in the gulf? It’s hypocritical.. you accept the things that go against Islam because it funds the economy but try to cancel someone’s business because they shared a simple message showing love and tolerance for all?

 

[cherryblues]

I don’t want to tell people in a Muslim country about how they should feel about these issues and if it’s justified or not because I don’t live in one nor am I khaleeji.

Talking to my Emirati friends, I think a lot of them feel conflicted and confused about the progress and changes in the country. I would be to going from one extreme to another. I can easily say from what I’ve seen and heard that it’s not that people have hatred towards people of LGTBQ community but hatred towards Influencers such as Huda Beauty and many others who try to push this narrative down peoples throat. They live in a Muslim country with other fellow muslims, they don’t have to accept that kind of thinking and belief. If you share those beliefs, good on you but don’t force it onto people. Huda and others have built their empires in the UAE and benefited massively from Emirati consumers the least they can do is respect them.

There is layer of hypocrisy but again they are in a Muslim country. I would love to know what khaleejis think about this though. Please share your insight.

I personally don't agree with the sentiment that you can't LGBTQ and a muslim. I feel like as muslims, someones sexuality is none of our business and it's only between them and god. We shouldn't force someone out of Islam just bc one aspect of their life is considered a sin while everything else they're doing is sunnah/halal. The muslim community doesn't flinch if someone drinks but does everything else halal, or if someone doesn't pray all 5 prayers but does everything perfectly, but suddenly with sexuality a lot of ppl seem to have a holier-than-thou attitude. Also lets not forget many muslim communities in the past and some in the present allow tattoos, yet none of us have told them they're not muslims. People in the LGBTQ community go through so much injustice in pretty much all aspects of their lives, we shouldn't add to it by putting a strain on their relationship with god.

As for the Huda beauty incident, I found it odd. Her excuse didn't make sense to me. I get you're in a muslim country but so are all the other major western brands that support gay ppl, yet none of them ever got in trouble for posting pro-LGBTQ content. All she had to do was post at least one pic of a gay influencer. It's not like ppl asked her to bring one of them over to the Middle East or do some collab. Also she has offices in LA, so its not like her business is restricted to the UAE. Although she has a good customer base in the UAE, she also has a really good one in the US. I'm pretty sure the only real reason she has her business in the UAE is bc of the tax benefits. Even most of her employees are expats from the US and England, so she has no real need to keep it in the UAE. She wanted to "respect UAE society" by not promoting gay influencers yet dresses in scandalous clothing all over Dubai?!

 

[cherryblues]

I think it’s because Huda is also a Muslim maybe that’s why the harsh back lash.

 

[marmar33]

The whole “we made huda” thing is ridiculous. Huda is extremely successful, yes she launched in the gulf and became very popular and successful there but it isn’t just because she launched in the gulf… it’s because she is a good businesswoman, she created an amazing company, she was one of the first to focus more on darker skin tones and women of color, she delivered a great product and that’s why it was successful in the gulf, it is also JUST as successful in the United States as well as Europe debatedly even more so because of population size alone. She is not just popular in the gulf, people are delusional if they think they can cancel her and especially for this reason. She is a billionaire she doesn’t need to work another day in her life & if they don’t stop harassing her I believe she will start to move her assets out of the gulf and I don’t blame her. It is a complete overreaction and completely hypocritical. She didn’t mention religion or uae in that post it was just a supportive post to the lgbt community during pride month on her personal page. She has also brought a lot of positive attention to uae as well as donating hundreds of thousands and millions of iftar meals in Ramadan.

She gets this backlash because she is Iraqi/Muslim. Obviously Huda’s family is not very religious if she is married to a born Christian man and has been dating him since high school. Not every Arab is extremely traditional, people need to understand that. Huda is iraqi origin but born and lived in the us for a long time before moving to the gulf.

it’s really confusing how people pick and choose what to be outraged on. The founder of Jacquemus is an outwardly gay man.. does it stop those bags from being on every khaleeji fashion page? Of course not. Christian Dior, balmain, louboutin, ysl, I can go on and on all ran by gay men. CEO of Apple is a gay man, are you boycotting iPhones in the gulf? Messika is the one that is most shocking to me - it’s an Israeli company and the founder has outwardly admitted he is a zionist still it’s extremely popular in the gulf? People Saying free Palestine while directly putting thousands in an Israelis hands. So you just throw your tradition away to have the coolest gadgets and bags? It’s inconsistent and doesn’t make sense. She didn’t deserve that reaction for a simple post - there are people wishing death to her, her family, her daughter, wishing the absolute worse to her.. in the name of Islam! This is hypocritical and makes no sense.

a simple post like that is not inflicting being gay on the community it’s just a sign of support - if someone sees that and decides to come out, I hate to be the one to tell you but they were already gay, they just got the courage to be their true self. People don’t become gay by reading an instagram post.

Wait she’s Yemini & MARRIED?! I thought she was Saudi & she doesn’t come off married at all. I don’t think I’ve even seen a ring on her finger.

I’m supportive of her. Finally middle eastern people are standing up to their values & aren’t being afraid of the alphabet folks & their supporters.

yes it’s between them & god but not when they shove it down your throat & try to change Islamic stance on it. I’m not sure if you have Twitter but if you check on there, it’s all they speak of & many of them don’t even think that their actions are wrong. When you do tell them, they bring up ancient societies doing it to justify their actions.
I really don’t understand why people compare drinking alcohol to homosexual zina. God didn’t burn down any town for drinking alcohol.

So all bad

If you keep bringing up other wrongs to justify a wrong doing, then nothing will ever be fixed.

Another Arab influencer Latifa Al Shamsi

The real question is will the authorities take action? Or all these efforts are going to waste? The UAE is trying to show and prove that it’s a place for everyone, and regarding the LGBTQ, when other countries in the GCC banned movies for gay scenes, the UAE didn’t. I’m not justifying the influencers support, but they see that it’s supported in the country… they see that it’s a “free” country. So they weren’t afraid of showing their support.

 

[M1244]

A whole bunch of hypocrites. It don’t seem to be a problem to be seen w Mr. Moudz or abbas or any guy that seems to be extremely feminine - brands are partnering with them but now supporting gay is taboo ? LOL

No seriously let’s talk about it mrmoudz,abbas, hindash?

So you’re telling me you want to ban a womens business and kick her out of the uae for a post while watching and supporting hindash? Let’s also talk about how makeupbymario has been invited to Dubai several times and the girls sell out his demos? So you guys didn’t realize these men were gay or????

It’s not a matter of listing wrong for wrong it’s blatantly calling out your ignorance because one situation you are outraged and one you are silent. Hmmmm sounds to me like you don’t have an issue with it if what they are offering is enticing enough to you.

You are hypocrites because you pick and choose which part of the religion to speak about when it serves you, you’re seriously on a gossip site talking tit about people in the name of religion. Touch grass and realize how silly you look. If you were really a very religious person you wouldn’t be caught dead here.

Also Samer Khouzami. I mean he’s openly gay and you can see what he does on his insta. He’s not even discreet about it, but I still see his corner doing good in Sephora.
