"Morocco is an Islamic state where stages should not used to allow a person with such a degree of debauchery to perform, because we have to shield the young from such influences." "Sir Elton John Faces Down Islamic Protest to Play Morocco," by Chris Mugan for Spinner, May 19:
Sir Elton John is to headline Morocco's largest music festival, despite calls from Islamist political parties that the government should deny him entry.Opposition politicians argue the ivory-tinkling performer would harm the image of the North African kingdom should he be allowed to perform at the Mawazine World Rhythms Festival in the country's capital, Rabat.
Despite the outcry, Sir Elton will headline the festival -- which begins on May 21 -- and brings together musicians from 50 countries. This follows news earlier this month that the openly gay artist has been banned from Egypt over remarks about Jesus, as was previously reported in Spinner....
Mustapha Ramid, from the opposition Islamist PJD party said, "Morocco is an Islamic state where stages should not used to allow a person with such a degree of debauchery to perform, because we have to shield the young from such influences."
"Morocco is an Islamic state where stages should not used to allow a person with such a degree of debauchery to perform, because we have to shield the young from such influences."
AND THE FRUITS OF GOOD OL' FASHIONED ISLAMIC CHILD REARING IS BEING FELT AROUND THE WORLD..
TAQIYA.
Ooo, the bitch is back.
If you wanna know about a people, follow their trail through the gutter. Morocco is a dump. Populated by Moslems who can't, or won't, pick up after themselves, it is a filthy place filled with, well, Moslems.
*** 8:12 ***
Sorry I ever went there. Great place for unprovoked violence against Infidels, though. Morooco should apologize for itself and disappear from the world map. That'd be best.
Perhaps Elton John is merely confused. Perhaps his agent told him he would be plaing at El Morocco.
Ahem. Morocco complaining about depravity and gayness?
Akin to Brazil moaning about carnivals. Or nuts. Or coffee.
You get the picture, I'm sure.
I always thought Elton was an "ivory tickling" performer, not an "ivory tinkling" performer.
"Sorry I ever went there. Great place for unprovoked violence against Infidels, though. Morocco should apologize for itself and disappear from the world map. That would be best."
What about Crosby, Stills, Nash tune "Marrakesh Express?"

Good for Sir Elton. Mohammad was at his height of debauchery that he not only performed sex with older woman like Khadija, also had sex with minors and wives of slaves he captured in battle. Moroccons should protect their young ones from their very prophet.
Did you know - Quran (4:34) orders a man to beat his wife if she doesn't obey him?
Quran 4:34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.
- men’s almost insatiable desire for sex - by promising believing men to be rewarded with beautiful women in paradise. (Quran 44:54)

HA, Bloody HA.
I nearly spilt my Israeli wine (Again).
The great Leftist/Liberal dilema.
The Gays or the islamists!!!!
HA, Bloody Ha.
What will the Al Guardian/BBC do.
Maybe they can increase hysterical coverage of that dammed volcano!!!!
Awww...you beat me to it, undaunted!
Sir Elton is a genuine example of a social disease. Just ask him--LOL
In addition, he sings better than any muezzin, and is more fun to watch than two acres of bum waggers, praying to a black rock.
Homophobia on a grand scale.
I love Elton John and I'm not interested in his risque private life. He doesn't engage in sex while performing and as a performer, he has no equal. I don't agree with him politically any more than I agree with Comrade Bruce Springsteen, but I adore their music! When I hear Springsteen singing "Dancing in the Dark", the fact that he's a left-wing whacko never crosses my mind.
Muslims let their hysterical obsession with sex ruin their miserable lives. They can't even enjoy life's simple pleasures.
All organized religion is the height of hypocrisy, but the followers of the 'prophet' have the market cornered on that term.
The total nonsense that is both a mixture of a backward tribal culture and cult fanaticism all rolled up into a neat little package called Islam.
To top it all off, these delusional zealots call for the death of ALL Non-Believers and especially those who speak out against this contemptuous farce calling itself a religion of peace!
Next to the NAZI's and the Communists, no greater crimes against humanity have been committed than under the name of some religion, yet once again, "the religion of peace" holds top honors for wholesale genocide, rapine, torture, mutilation and slavery!
Great religion eh? Believe or die horribly!
Now don't you just want to RUN to the nearest mosque....
Sir Elton John might like to read beforehand what Paul Bowles, longterm Infidel resident of Morocco, had to say about Moroccan Muslims and what they *really* thought of Infidels:
http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_direct_link.cfm/blog_id/20345
From the article to be found at that link:
'Bowles was no fool about Islam.
'Here is what he said in a late interview:
"INTERVIEWER: But isn't there a special psychological dimension to the situation of a foreigner living in Morocco?
"It seems to me that a foreigner here is often looked upon automatically as a kind of victim.
"BOWLES: - Well, he is a victim.
"The Moroccans wouldn't use the word.
" They'd say "a useful object."
"They believe that they, as Moslems, are the master group in the world, and that God allows other religious groups to exist principally for them to manipulate.
"That seems to be the average man's attitude.
"Since it's not expressed as a personal opinion but is tacitly accepted by all, I don't find it objectionable. {????!!!!- dda}
"Once a thing like that is formulated you don't have to worry about the character of the person who professes it. It's no longer a question of whether or not he agrees with it as part of his personal credo." END QUOTE FROM INTERVIEW.
'Fifty years of living in Morocco, and Paul Bowles offers this clear-sighted summing-up:
"They believe that they, as Moslems, are the master group in the world, and that God allows other religious groups to exist principally for them to manipulate."
And for more on marvellous, modern, music-loving, moderate Muslim Morocco...
an article by one Sarah Brasch, from October 2008:
http://www.ffrf.org/fttoday/2008/oct/braasch.php
'Moroccan Feminine Wiles'.
Opening paragraphs:
"I nearly broke under the weight of oppression. The air felt thick with it. I burst into tears at work.
I cried myself to sleep at night, listening to the cacophony of cries and screams of the domestic servant girls, some of them Moroccan, some of them foreign, being beaten and raped in the darkness.
The discordant melody of wailing and torture would wind down just as the dissonant Muslim call to prayer hailed the rising sun. "
The link to Sarah Brasch's piece does not work.
Hugh
sorry about that. Thanks for letting me know.
I should have double-checked the link, since old weblinks do have a nasty habit of breaking unexpectedly. I'll do a primary search and see if I can find it again.
Well, thanks to google, I have a different link that seems to work. Certainly *I* have been able to reread the article using it:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_7208/is_200810/ai_n32299380/?tag=content;col1
The article originally appeared in something called 'Free Thought Today', 8th January 2008.
And I slipped up on the author's name: Sarah Braasch, not Sarah Brasch.
I will add that in my usual provident habit, I made a full copy of the whole of the original article when I first read it, and saved that copy onto my home computer, so even if somebody were to put the online copy down the Memory Hole, *I* will be able to read it - and reproduce it - any time I like.
Ivory tinkling? Ivory tickling? Maybe he is going there for a little Ebony tickling...
If these proponents of "World Music" (i.e., music of the World Outside of Islam) had some brains & balls, they would organize "World Music Freedom" festivals held in -- or at least on borders within earshot of -- various lion's dens of Islam, and our Lefto-Pop musicians would put the weight of their fame behind such a project. Of course, while performing, they'd need whole divisions of the American Army and Air Force to protect them.
Morocco wants to discuss degeneracy? And I just found you naked on top of my underage daughter? :)

But at least he didn't cancel two concerts in Israel as Elvis Costello did in protest of the "brutal oppression" of the poor old palestinians!! And he said "sometime silence is the best music of all". Remember that the next time anyone feels like buying anything from Elvis Costello. Remember boycotts can work two ways!
