Nancy Ajram turns down marriage proposal

Lebanese singer Amal Hijazi’s brother has asked Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram for her hand in marriage, and the singer has shockingly declined. Nancy said that she is not thinking of getting married until at least 2010.

Amal responded, “I do not understand how Nancy can determine when to love, as if the matter of love is something that can be controlled.”

On a different note, a photo of Nancy donning a Hijab (the Islamic Headdress) has been circulating on the internet, prompting rumors that the singer has denounced the Christian faith and become a Muslim. Rumors claim Nancy embraced Islam after she was affected by the war between Lebanon and Israel, and the suffering of Lebanese civilians.

Nancy denies that she has begun wearing a Hijab, claiming the picture of her on the internet wearing a Hijab is a fabrication, and has called on the people creating such rumors to stop.

Nancy recently recorded a new patriotic song “Lebnan Ya Habib El Umor” (Lebanon My Only Love) to express her grief over the horror her dear country is experiencing while Israeli forces are killing so many innocent civilians, destroying the core of Lebanon, according to the singer.

The song is being aired on several Lebanese radio stations at least once every half hour.

Nancy had the chance to flee Lebanon the night the air raids began, but chose to stay with her family and her people, canceling all scheduled events around the Arab world.
