Funny, he doesn't look Muslim. This explains why they haven't played Rock and Roll Pt II during the NY Rangers games at MSG for quite some time now. I liked that song when it came out back in 1972.

Former Glam rock star Gary Glitter faces spending the remainder of his life in prison after being found guilty of a series of child sex offences on three young girls, aged between 8 and 13.
A jury of five men and seven women took two days to convict the flamboyant star, now 70, of six offences, committed in the 1970’s and 1980’s, including the attempted rape of an eight-year-old child and having unlawful sex with a 12-year-old girl, a charge which carries a life sentence.
Judge Alistair McCreath told him: “In light of verdicts, I am remanding him in custody.”
Glitter was cleared of two counts of indecent assault and one count of administering a drug or other thing in order to facilitate sexual intercourse. He will be sentenced on 27 February.
The father of three, whose real name is Paul Gadd, raised his eyebrows and looked shocked when the verdicts were read out. He blew kisses to the public gallery, full of reporters, as he was led down to the cells.
His predatory sexual offences against his child victims, including fans that helped propel him to stardom, went unpunished for 40 years because of the “immunity of fame”, the prosecution said during the trial.
However, that vanished after the singer’s fall from grace when he was found to have a “voracious” appetite for child abuse images. He was convicted in 1999 of building up a library of 4,000 such images, some involving children as young as two.
Later, in 2012, he was arrested as part of the Operation Yewtree investigation, set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile child abuse scandal.

I don’t recall ever hearing of him.
The last time this guy made news it was over him getting arrested for sex offenses in Bangkok.
I thought he was already in jail.
Ya it was the KC Chiefs. “Rally” theme til a few years back when they caught wind of this
This creep should have been put away years ago.
He got out of a conviction in Vietnam IIRC that carried life sentence. Time for this freak to be locked away in solitary for the rest of his time on Earth. Pelican Bay type solitary
Again?
For some reason, I thought this freak was already in prison for life. Better late than never, I guess.
Was he a musician or entertainer or something? Doesn’t ring a bell, except being a pedophile.
He had one American hit in 1972. See Post #8.
Having sex with and 8 year old girl is just sick...
The Prophet Gary Glitter, Peace be upon him ... you say he doesn't look Muslim -> yet that modern looking bear skin turban, and a Michael J skin touch up ... there is no scientific proof in this picture it's not M himself.
virtually everyone in the world has heard Rock And Roll pt 2
forgive me those who are deaf.
Oh my...check out those brows.
