"A quote from Sky News, 29 December 2007
The French president [Nicolas Sarkozy] has been enjoying a holiday [in Egypt] with Italian-born [Carla] Bruni ahead of an official visit which starts this weekend. But his romantic break – which has been followed by the world's media – has come in for criticism in the Islamic country. [...]
Independent Egyptian MP Gamal Zahran said in parliament that it was improper for Sarkozy, who recently made his relationship with Bruni public, to share a hotel room with her. He also criticised the Egyptian government for setting a bad example by welcoming them. He said it had given the impression that Egypt was “ready to accept official prostitution by heads of state”.
Under Islamic law and tradition, unmarried couples are not permitted to share a room, [...] Sarkozy was first seen with [nude] model-turned-singer Bruni earlier this month when he visited Disneyland Paris with her, just two months after his divorce from his wife of 11 years, Cecilia."
For once the Muslims are right.
