In a move of conviction rarely seen, especially in the entertainment industry:

Rapper Nicki Minaj announced she would not be performing at a music festival in Saudi Arabia. Minaj cited her reason for pulling out of the performance as wanting to show support for women, gays and the freedom to express thought.

The most important point:

“While I want nothing more than to bring my show to fans in Saudi Arabia, after better educating myself on the issues, I believe it is important for me to make clear my support for the rights of women, the LGBTQ community and freedom of expression.”

Despite the abundance of information readily available in just one click, far too many Westerners refuse to “better educate” themselves “on the issues” of sharia abuses in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic states. Western feminists and charlatan “human rights activists” remain largely silent about sharia-sanctioned abuses of women, gays and non-Muslims. They too need to “better educate” themselves and to be held accountable. Minaj would do well to continue to learn about Islam, sharia, and the term “Islamophobia,” which is an assault on the freedom of expression, used in service of the goal of subjugating free societies.

The Human Rights Foundation praised Minaj’s decision to pull out of the concert…..This is what leadership looks like,” Thor Halvorssen, president of the Human Rights Foundation, said.”
