Evidently, there's a rule there that you have to be Muslim...?

Apparently there is a rule that says everyone must be a muslim.

[Tokra]

Boy...who do you root for in this story? It's like choosing between your favorite Menendez brother.

Let's see - a rock n roll singer who happened to be homosexual or a death cult that saws off people's heads, straps bombs onto their children and want to put the entire world under their bootheels.

Yeah - a real tough decision.

Mercury, who died of AIDS in 1991, violated Islam with his flamboyant lifestyle, said Azan Khalid of Zanzibar's Association for Islamic Mobilization and Propagation.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Mercury professed to be Muslim.

"That's why he was branded a Queen," Khalid said, adding that anything linking Mercury with Zanzibar's Muslim population would be offensive.

Khalid, honey, sweetheart, no one called Freddie "a Queen." He and his friends named their band Queen. No one "branded" anyone anything. Wordplay only works if it's clever.

When are muslims not offended?

[Xenalyte]

Are you gonna take me home tonight
Ah, down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang down
Fat bottom girls, you make the rockin' world go round!

Some day we will fight to defend the core of the democrat party from certain death. How quaint.

[Jack Black]

sure.

I used to love Queen - one of the best rock groups of the 70's, and who practically ruled the airwaves at the time.

Regardless of Freddie's sexual shortcomings, he was at the top of his form when he did his music. God bless him.

Oh yeah - and the muslims who are upset by this can go suck sand for all I care.

[1rudeboy]

I don't get it . . . this organization is offended by Mr. Mercury's flamboyant lifestyle? He sang Western music . . . isn't that enough to call for a beheading?

[Bommer]

"That's why he was branded a Queen," Khalid said, adding that anything linking Mercury with Zanzibar's Muslim population would be offensive.

THUS SAYITH THE CHILD MOLESTING PROPHET MOHAMMAD!!

[Hildy]

From IMDB:

Some of his estate was left to Mary Austin, a woman he had dated regularly.

[Clioman]

Tell them to go Cheney themselves.

[Wyatt's Torch]

One of the best voices of all time, regardless of sexuality.

Agree completely. Give me Queen of the pissed off muzzies any day...

[rock_lobsta]

Offended muzzlim, eh? Let me see if I give a damn......

Nope! No damn given here. ol' mulla ahsheet m'dwrarez needs to bark up another tree.

However, I'll bet he's offended by trees and barking too.

[blackie]

"I love the song Fat Bottom Girls. How bout Fat Burka Girls?"

Hey Tomkow ~ can you help out here? >:-}

[The KG9 Kid]

How dare this muslim slander the name of Freddie Mercury?

Heresy.

[Wyatt's Torch]

This falls into the same category as "by the way, which one's Pink?"

LOL! I was just listening to on my way into work. That is a perfect analogy.

"I can't wait for a few gay beheadings by Muslims to wake up some (but by not means all) liberals about who they are cheering for."

from what I've heard homosexuality is quite common but always hidden in muslim countries. Can't remember the term but older guys with a young teenager are quite common.

They also like goats according to recent stories.

Not implying that all homosexuals like goats. I am implying that there are a large number of seriously dysfunctional cultures is the Islamic world. But then we already knew that.
