    I wonder if she sings “like a Virgin “song in conservative countries like Abu Dhabi …After all they being Mussalmans might take offence …

    @Yousaf,,First of all, Abu Dhabi is not a country rather a state of UAE. Secondly, UAE is not a conservative society. A sciety consisting of more than 70% foreigners cannot be conservative. Its one of the most modern socities of Asia….

    Thank you for telling me Abu Dhabi was a city …I was sure that Abu Dhabi was one of the Trucial States which were clamped together into United Arab Emirates …

    Saudi Arabia is also 50 % Foreign probably and yet is very conservative .

    @Hassan

    Get your facts right. Abu Dhabi is as conservative as any other Gulf nation. There are lots of foreigners in Saudi Arabia as well but it does not make them any less conservative. However, Abu Dhabi is dependent on money flows, and when it comes to money conservatism can be put aside in favor of Madonna’s awrah fest.
