My personal favorite: Brigitte Gabriel

Not only does she tell it like it is about Muslims, she’s a pretty fair belly dancer.

Up until I joined a Maronite Catholic Church, my view on belly dancing was ... well, quite opinionated. I considered it scandalous. After 7 years with these people, I continue to be amazed at their devout faith balanced with a veritable zeal for life. They come to church dressed in their finest and NEVER miss those annual events with music, fanfare and .... belly dancers. Two years ago, I attended one such event and was surprised to see one of the grandfathers, who had recently suffered a heart attack, up there on the dance floor, throwing dollar bills at the belly dancer. He and his sons are VERY generous supporters of local charities, especially the NICU at Albany Med. Perhaps it is a throwback to their Phoenician ancestors but I absolutely love the Lebanese who know how to party and pray :-)
