Ola Ghanem: The Muslim Brotherhood Is An Insult to Islam

Last night actress Ola Ghanem joined Niran on the LBC talk show " Ana wel Assal," which has provided this Ramadan season a string of bizarre and interesting celebrity interviews. Last night, Ghanem opened up about her upcoming projects, her personal life as well as her harsh view of the now beleaguered Muslim Brotherhood.

Ola talked about her roles on various Ramadan dramas, and told Niran she likes taking on different roles each year. She revealed she will be preparing after the Eid to portray Cleopatra in an Egyptian-American joint production.

Touching on criticism of her the show " Mazag el Kheir," Ola first pointed out that the show conveys a warning message for young people about the negative effects of Tramadol. She also rejected accusations that her and Dorra's scenes were excessively provocative on the show. Drawing out a sharp double standard for Arab women in the entertainment industry, Ghanem pointed out that her scene, in which she wears a towel, was not that racy, and additionally Abeer Sabry wears the exact same thing and no one criticized him.

Ghanem also talked openly about her romantic life, telling Niran she was first married at 16, which was very common in Alexandria. After five years, she separated from her first husband, with whom she has two daughters - one is studying architecture and engineering, and one is an anesthesiologist. Her second marriage, she said, was nine years after her divorce, and was a result of "true love." She also revealed that her third marriage did not last more than 7 months.

Ghanem said the Ikhwan failed to rule Egypt, and that the use of the world "Muslim" in their name is an insult to Islam itself.

Niran will next be interviewing Mai Ezz Eldeen.
