Prince, the Grammy Award-winning artist behind “Purple Rain,” told the Guardian in an interview that women forced to wear burqas in Islamic countries are “happy” to wear them.
“It’s fun being in Islamic countries, to know there’s only one religion,” Prince told the British newspaper. “There’s order. You wear a burqa. There’s no choice. People are happy with that.” (Burqa bans grow fashionable in Europe)
The Guardian pointed out that perhaps not every woman forced to wear a burqa is thrilled with the idea. The singer acknowledged: “There are people who are unhappy with everything. There’s a dark side to everything.”

Prince/the artist formerly known as Prince/prince is unlikely to be a fountain of knowledge.

Prince has always struck me as quite a misogynistic person. I’m not surprised that he thinks burqas are are cool.

Why did anybody pay any attention to this cross-dressing fool who hasn't sold an album for almost 30 years? Why is he "quotable"?
Where do they get this phonies?

What if this interview had occured in segregated America?
"The colored have their own restrooms and water fountains. Plus there's plenty of seats at the back of the bus."
The singer acknowledged: “There are people who are unhappy with everything. There’s a dark side to everything.”

...women forced to wear burqas in Islamic countries are “happy” to wear them.
Considering that the alternative is "being stoned" [and not with the stuff one inhales].

According to that sick evil twisted bastard Imam who came on Sean Hannity’s show.

I once worked with a guy who went to High School with Prince Rogers Nelson. I asked what he was like back then.
The answer was:...”Just like today. He’s a moron.”

Prince is a musical genius but a political moron. Shut up and sing (and write songs, and produce, and play all the instruments, etc.)

Prince is an entertainer. His job is to get talked about in the media. The more media attention he gets, the more money he makes. End of story.
