Hi everybody,I am posting here coz I just can´t believe what I read in a newspaper (on-line). There is a reataurant in Zanzibar which is organizing a special dinner to celebrate what would have been Freddie 60´s birthday, and the goverment does not allowe them to do it coz Freddie Mercury was Homosexual. This is so terrible, I mean, I can´t believe that this is happening! How can you forbid a celebration only for the sexual condition of a person???Totally freak!....
"...But the Muslim government already demanded to cancel it because he considers that the singer violated the Islam with his “style of outlandish life”...
incredible!!!!!

Sad but true!
Didn't somebody name an isopod-y something after Freddie ? I thought it was in Zanzibar, as I think the quote was something like "Arguably Zanzibar's most famous" somebody or other, oh, I don't remember.
Was that connected to the government ? Was that a different government ?
If you're throwing a choice(pay)-to-enter party, that's just silly. I mean, I don't see the logic. It's goes against the tenements of my fundemental system of belief.. er... capitalism.
AND FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, don't overreact. Yes, I agree, it's deplorable from my view-point. But I'm not going resort to name-calling. Name-calling is silly and won't get us anywhere. Please remember peace - give it a chance and all that ? Being level-headed is probably the thing to do ... Or not, who knows, maybe if Ghandi had just started bitching at people, he'd still be alive ? Or, if I spell things wrong, he would still be Alice.
After all, there are plenty of other places to party.
EDIT : After reading the article ...
I have learned a new word - "bravura".
It appears the party is still going on ?
"Who said that my party was all over - ?"
Nevermind.

Well, they DID have a revolution and everything - which I assume means some sort of government change...
But Zanzibar is just a country. It wouldn't make a difference if it was Liechtenstein trying to stop the party.
Places change all the time - it is the people that do not.

I saw this on Yahoo News and posted this comment (#882) in the discussion section -

These people are idiots
Freddie Mercury was the best thing Zanzibar had to offer. They should be proud of that remarkable man with such amazing talent. Instead, they fear a party honoring his birth will 'encourage homosexuality'. Idiots. Though if Freddie were still here, I've a feeling his reply to them would simply be, "Fuck off, darlings."

I think we should all post a comment. People need to be reminded who Freddie/Queen were. You can go to the bottom of the article and click 'discuss'.

I'm sorry, but Islam is destroying this world. Sorry if I offend Muslims, but I think that most of the Westerners believe that Islam is not a religion, but a way to control people and keep them ignorant. Like Christianity used to be in Europe.
Do you guys realize that a young Pakistani girl living in Italy was killed by her father because she lived like a westerner? That afterward her mother said: My daughter was a bad muslim? Plus the family didn't speak Italian except for the girl killed. Multiculturalism is bullshit!!! When you come in Occident you adapt to the culture you move to! The problem of the Westerners is that they always yield!
I'm sick of all that! Since WWII, when you say something about race, you're called a racist or intolerant. I think we have tolerated a lot. Because we are white and our past, we should accept everything? When a white person goes to live in the Maghreb or in Asia, he adapt to the traditions and the ways of life there? But does the other way around hold true? NO!!! Occident has to understand that they have yielded to much and need to reinforce their immigration laws.
I know that all muslims and Arabs are not intolerants, but to me it seems to me that indeed they are when you see all the atrocities perpetrated for a religion!! Religion, you gotta be kidding me. Muslims are more and more ostracized in the West and if they don't make nice, they will reinstate a Cruisade-like feeling among Westerners. I'm sick of Islam, point and simple, it's a sick religion.
They treat everything bad: women, children, westerners, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Read my message and think for a moment who is more intolerant.
Think about it: Syria, Iran, Irak, Afghanistan. Most of the dictatorships in the world are muslim states.
I condemn Islam! They talk about God, God and the only thing they do is kill people. Shame on Islam!
The only thing you create is violence, hatrid and division! The more it goes, the more people in the West despise the Arabs and Muslims! They only create a feeling of racism in the West!

Armando Alejandro Estrada I "Do Not" agree with you at ALL!...with your speech you behave the same way of those who you criticizes.
You're right! How can people cancil a celebration for someone because of their sexual preferences? That's terrible! That's wrong!
