A New European

Organizers of a 60th gala birthday party for the late Zanzibar-born rock star
Freddie Mercury, have cancelled the weekend event after outraged Muslims threatened to disrupt it.

Schweine!

Und die Organisation hat nicht einmal die Eier zu sagen, warum genau sie es absagten:

“We have decided to cancel the party after misleading and erroneous information was spread about it,” said organizer Simai Mohamed Saidi, who runs a Freddie Mercury theme restaurant in the capital.

“I urge Muslim groups in the future to seek correct information from us instead of relying on rumors,” he said in an open letter, adding the event was intended to be celebration to honor Mercury, who died of
AIDS in 1991.

Was glatt gelogen ist, denn:

Conservative Zanzibari Islamists last week demanded that authorities ban the party and then vowed to stage mass demonstrations if it went ahead, saying it would tarnish the islands’ reputation and culture and promote homosexuality.

“We were ready to join forces against the party because we had information that a number of gays from abroad had come to take part,” said Sheikh Azzan Hamdani of the association for Islamic Mobilization and Propagation (UAMSHO).

Fragt sich bloss noch wo die Brüller bleiben, die meinen in den USA hätten Homosexuelle keine Rechte und würden überhaupt verfolgt und gepeinigt werden.

Get on your bikes and ride!
