Muslims Barred From Black Eyed Peas Concert
Today’s collision between pop culture and Muslim law is presented by the Black Eyed Peas.
[Bauer Griffin Online]
Malaysia’s government has barred Muslims from a Peas concert next month because it’s organized by Guinness (the beer, not the book of world records). Although the Peas performed in Malaysia in 2007 without incident, the show’s official website now says that “the party is only open to non-Muslims aged 18 years and above.”
This is riddled with so much hypocrisy. Why not use a wristband system to ensure Muslims don’t drink? Or, if it’s simply the idea of doing business with a beer company, then why have the concert at all? And, moreover, are there Muslim employees who will be getting paid by the concert?
This is just one reason why government and religion should be separate.
