Wafah Dufour, formerly known as Wafah bin Laden, is Osama bin Laden's niece (daughter of Yeslam bin Ladin, half-brother of Osama, and Carmen bin Ladin, author of
Inside the Kingdom: My Life in Saudi Arabia) is
featured in the December GQ. She wants to be a pop star in the U.S. She hasn't lived in Saudi Arabia since she was 10. She is
a fan of The Cure, Seal, and The Beatles, and plays guitar.
It seems to me that in her position, it could be dangerous to become an American pop star, since there seems to be no shortage of
Muslim fundamentalists who reject the principle of free speech even while living in countries that endorse it.
