Babe-Bombing Salafi Demos

What happens when pretty ladies show up in Salafi demonstrations? This actually happened in Lebanon, and it turns out it’s no accident, as Angie reports:

The stunt was set up by Beirut artist and photojournalist Randa Mirza, who wanted to critique the Salafist movement against the backdrop of the consumer-driven, neoliberalist capital of Lebanon. The focus was on contrasting various political notions and highlighting the obvious dichotomies: “fundamentalism and consumerism, the West and Islam, fashion, gender and aesthetic.”

This idea is so amazing I want to give it a name: Babe Bombing (A slight variation on photo bombing). It should spread to all Arab countries, as it has a great potential for hilarity and social/political commentary. But a word of warning: For this to work, there has to be a strong media and security presence, or the girl would be assaulted and then blamed..
