Hissa Hilal - Video of Poem on Fatwas and Religious Extremism (with Translation)



Here's a link to the poem at The National.  With translation via subtitles.

This is not from the actual contest.

Here's a YouTube link to the contest.  She begins by saying that the topic of her poem requires a lot of courage to talk about.  That many are silent.

And here's her poem about the media.  In the first bit (till about 1:20) she's reciting a poem to Shaykh Muhammad Bin Zayed.   It's customary for the poet to honor the host with a couple of verses.

All posts on Hissa now have the label "Hissa Hilal".
