Guess Why This Lebanese Pornstar is Getting Death Threats From Islamists?

by Austin Petersen

Pornhub’s #1 Pornstar Mia Khalifah has been receiving death threats ever since a video of her performing in this outfit surfaced. Khalifah, a 21-year-old Lebanese woman, moved to the United States when she was 10 years old, but Islamists from her birth country have been bullying her for appearing in a porn while wearing the hijab.

The controversy has paid off for her though, with her gaining over 177,000 followers on Twitter and 235,000 followers on Instagram. And she seems like she’s taking it well, with a very smart point of view on these issues of critical importance by tweeting things like:

People have been calling her out as a bad Muslim, but she doesn’t identify as such.

From Newsweek: 

By her own admission, Khalifa isn’t very interested in Lebanese politics. “I don’t want us to be bullied by Syria or Israel, but I’m pretty indifferent towards it,” she said in an interview with Newsweek. But she isn’t shy about repping her Lebanese heritage on social media, either. On her left arm is a tattoo of the opening lines of Lebanese national anthem: كلنـا للوطـن للعـلى للعـلم (translation: All of us! For our Country, for our Flag and Glory!). On her right wrist is a tattoo of the Lebanese Forces Cross, the symbol of a Lebanese conservative Christian political party opposed to the Syrian Bashar Assad regime. Her father is a Lebanese Forces supporter, she says. She got the cross on her wrist two years ago, after the October 2012 Beirut bombing, in support of her father, “to show him, ‘I’m on your side.'”

Both tattoos have generated controversy in Lebanon. Her critics say she’s shaming her country by appearing in porn with the Lebanese national anthem tattooed on her body, she says. “They’re embarrassed I’m ‘claiming’ them—as if I had a choice. I was born there.”

Khalifa’s conservative parents, meanwhile, have denounced her to the Lebanese media, she says. “No one in my family is speaking to me,” Khalifa says. She describes her parents as “extremely strict, overbearing, and very conservative—they assimilated to American culture by latching on to the Republican party.”
