Some of you Muslims take the piss sometimes. Why does everything have to be so extreme?
Case example - I know a famous girl singer who happens to be Muslim. She's from Norway and her name is
Deeyah.
She has acted no different than any other female pop star, there was a video where part of her back was shown, she wasn't nude, she wasn't being controversial, she was just acting like any other girl.
Yet because of this, she receieved numerous DEATH THREATS, so much so that she had to move her entire family from Norway to the UK and proceeded to continue her career here. When she got here, she began working on a new album, and made another music video. In this video she stood up for the rights of female Muslims and spoke out against "Honour Killings" and the opression of females in Islam.
This video was playlisted on a number of channels including the popular British Asian music channel B4U (which incidentally has played a lot of my music videos too)
So get this. The fucking TV channel got death threats and was forced to pull the video.
She's a lovely girl and she shouldn't have to go everywhere with bodyguards and cancel shows because some people who simply happen to be the same religion can't move forward and recognize that this is the fucking 21st century. So many Muslims complain that you are being discriminated against and treated badly by the media, and of course there is truth in that, but the media are simply exagerating slightly. There's no smoke without fire, you are doing it to YOURSELVES.
And I'm speaking from personal experience, not only have I seen what they are doing to Deeyah, I've been in Finsbury Park and heard the extremists there condoning murder, terrorism and destruction of the Western World. Do I think every Muslim is like this? Of course not, I'm not that narrow minded. But theres enough like that for it to be a seriois problem.
Well anyway, Deeyah's doing really well now and has been working with T-Boz and Bonecrusher so she will have the last laugh.
