wafah dufour

Bin Laden's niece appears in racy photos is an old story which came out in December. But I question why it got any attention at all. I wonder if on some level it was promoted because it seems to validate Western notions of what women "really" want, especially relative to the Muslim world.

I have no problems with Wafah Dufour living in the U.S. She has ioenly stated her desire to be accepted as a U.S. citizen. The fact that her name had Bin Laden has nothing to do with who she is. I wish more people like her would be as open about their feelings for this country that she does. Welcome to America Wafah!
