A photo of Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram donning a Hijab (the Islamic Headdress) has been circulating on the internet, prompting rumors that the singer has denounced the Christian faith and become a Muslim. Rumors claim Nancy embraced Islam after she was affected by the war between Lebanon and Israel, and the suffering of Lebanese civilians.
Nancy denies that she has begun wearing a Hijab, claiming the picture of her on the internet donning a Hijab is a fabrication, and has called on the people creating such rumors to stop.
Nancy recently recorded a new patriotic song “Lebnan Ya Habib El Umor” (Lebanon My Only Love) to express her grief over the horror her dear country is experiencing while Israeli forces are killing so many innocent civilians, destroying the core of Lebanon, according to the singer.
The song is being aired on several Lebanese radio stations at least once every half hour.
Nancy had the chance to flee Lebanon the night the air raids began, but chose to stay with her family and her people, canceling all scheduled events around the Arab world.
Before the war began, Ajram was honored at the Cairo Opera House in Egypt at an event hosted by the Egyptian magazine “Akhbar Al Nogoom,” drawing a massive crowd for a spectacular performance.
Nancy was presented with a Golden Record award along with Lebanese singer Wael Jassar and Egyptian singer Mohammad Hamaqi for their great contributions to the music industry.
