M.I.A the 'terrorist' rap-artist is accused of new crimes against Arab humanity. But if anything, this 'Bad Girl' who loves to court censorship and controversy, should be applauded for her research into a sub-culture of Arabia that makes an extreme sport of driving. However, she may have inadvertently harmed the women's drive to claim their seat behind the wheel in Saudi Arabia.

British rapper and singer M.I.A. is turning on her swagger in the Arabian Gulf in her latest video for Bad Girls. The rubber-burning stunts were inspired by internet viral videos of death-defying car tricks popular in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

While MIA reminds me of my ex-girlfriend (she's Tamil & I'm a Chinese), this video is certainly awesome. I love all things that dispel the stereotypes. Credits goes to whosoever came up with the original idea. Totally awesome! It made being an Arabs look cool in it.
