Singer Katy Perry has upset members of the Muslim community by featuring "blasphemous" imagery in the music video for her new hit Dark Horse.
In the promo, the Roar hitmaker plays an Egyptian queen who has the power to zap her subjects with lightning and turn them into sand, and she has offended Muslims by killing one male subject, wearing a pendant reading God (Allah) in Arabic. The jewellery item is also zapped.
Members of the Muslim community have criticized the video, calling it blasphemous and demanding for it be removed from YouTube.com.
One of those offended by the imagery has launched a petition on Change.org, which reads, "This petition is lodged In (sic) regards to Katy Perry's music video Dark Horse... The video is considered as highly controversial to its viewers as a result of its portrayal of blasphemy.
"At 01:15 (minutes) into the video Dark Horse; a man is shown being burned, whilst wearing a pendant (also burned) forming the word Allah, which is the arabic (sic) word for God. Such goes to show, that blasphemy is clearly conveyed in the video, since Katy Perry (who appears to be representing an opposition of God) engulfs the believer and the word God in flames.
"This is the reason for lodging the petition so that people from different walks of life, different religions and from different parts of the world, agree that the video promotes blasphemy (sic). Using the name of God in an irrelevant and distasteful manner would be considered inappropriate by any religion."
Is this the same crowd who loudly protested that the cross in urine was offensive ???
do I really need the /s ???
You’ll have to get in line. There are many men who would if only they had the chance.
Isn’t it against their “religion” to see a woman dress and dance like that? Also, they’re supposed to be Egyptians, not mooselimbs....
She should get a gun for protection so she doesn’t get her head chopped off. Oh wait, she’s against guns. Perhaps her boyfriend John Mayer can protect her. He seems tough.
Could only watch a bit. When the “wrapper” said, “eat your heart like Jeffrey Dammer”, that was enough.
That crap is such a bunch of non connected idiotic musical stanzas that it is retarded in its insignificance.
Just makes one want to puke after wasting 2:17 of my life....
To quote Michele the First Lady (gag) “holla”.
...and yet liberals call Christians intolerant.
Well, islam offends me. Eveything about islam offends me.
... plays an Egyptian queen who has the power to zap her subjects with lightning and turn them into sand, and she has offended Muslims by killing one male subject, wearing a pendant reading God (Allah) in Arabic. The jewellery item is also zapped.Or maybe she cut open a piece of fruit and revealed the sign of the Cross inside? Or perhaps she keeps alcohol in her house? [blank] the [bleep]ing [blank]ing morons who follow that medieval mass-murdering pedophile! And this has nothing to do with the fact that Katy Perry sucks anyway. Thanks rickmichaels.
+1 Katy Perry for pissing off muslims
LOL!
LOL!
LOL!
This is the reason for lodging the petition so that people from different walks of life, different religions and from different parts of the world, agree that the video promotes blasphemy....

Mocking a moon god is not really blasphemy.
But, on second thought, perhaps you muzzies should declare a fatwa against this Perry creature and all of her celebtard associates.
From the religion that would kill every one who does not convert, just amazing.
Not particularly a Katy Perry fan, but if she makes the muzzies whine the I’m LOL and she’s OK in my book.
They must not have been good examples of Christians themselves to have their daughter turn so nasty.
“Allah” is the word Arabic-speaking Christians use for “God.”
Not a Katy Perry fan. However, I did click on the link and watched the entire video. First of all, I was proud to add to the over 32 million viewers because of the stupidity of the Muslims complaining so of course I needed to see what the fuss was. As predicted, it was nothing. I had heard the song before and thought it was catchy. At first I thought the video was very creative and thought she is really good at producing a great video….however, by the end I was like how long is this video 20 minutes? Seriously it was only over 3 minutes. I was bored by the end but suffered through it to give it another set of eyes for the total.
Reagans, Cheneys and many other know all about that.
