Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Muslims threaten to murder singer who converted to Islam for using Qur’anic prayer in music video

Apr 25, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Lisa Mercedez is an example of the cultural transformation that is taking place in Britain. But her well-intentioned efforts to promote her new faith in her new single “Shahada” have backfired. The larger question is this: how can this murderous intransigence coexist peacefully in a society that values the freedom of speech? It cannot, and will not.

“Lisa Mercedez Receives Death Threats After Returning To Islam With Dancehall,” by Shirvan Williams, Dancehallmag, April 23, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Jamaican born, British-based Dancehall artiste, Lisa Mercedez has been receiving death threats since she announced that she has chosen a new path in life but didn’t intend to let that influence her love of Dancehall.

Mercedez grew up Christian but discovered Islam after moving to England following her father’s death in 2002. The Islamic community helped her to adjust to life in the country and provided her with the support that she needed. She apparently left the faith when she started her dancehall career in 2005. On March 3rd, she announced that she reverted and once again became a Muslim.

She may find that she has a long road ahead trying to live both lifestyles especially having collaborated with artistes like Vybz Kartel, who is known for his violent and sexually explicit lyrics. On April 3, the pair released a song called Real Love. She will collaborate again with Kartel on his upcoming album, Of Dons & Divas for a track called WorlBoss. The album is expected in June 2020.

In an effort to adhere to the rules of her religion and still produce Dancehall music, Mercedez has begun to wear more clothes, including a hijab, the traditional wear for Muslim women. However, it seems that her attempt to be more modest is not enough for some critics and now the deejay has been receiving death threats.

She spoke with British based, online publication, Metro.co.uk, about her conversion and the struggles she’s faced to maintain both lifestyles including the death threats she’s received since releasing her new single Shahada.

On Instagram, the singer posted a picture of the above-mentioned article and captioned it: “Check out @metro.co.uk where I discuss my recent reversion to Islam, I’m very disgusted by some of the Muslim community sending me death threats in my dms and under my comment section”….

The death threats have come because of her use of a prayer from the Koran, in the opening scene of her video which is strictly forbidden in Islam. “Don’t get me wrong, a lot of people like the song but there are so many people saying, “Why are you doing this to our religion?” Because you’re not meant to play music behind the prayer. They keep creating fake accounts and saying, “I’m going to kill you”.”…

    Seems to me she is complaining about the perfect religion. That’s fitna and death is the punishment. Lazy woman didn’t do her homework.

      She should join up with sinead “shuhada” o’connor{wearing her rainbow hijab:muslims love gay people don’t they?} and go on a singing tour of iran;I’m sure the ayatollah and the mullahs would love to hear women singing.

      Surely allah loves women singing songs ;allah who teaches that women are inferior to men{=HALF the value of men koran 2;282} and whose polygamous “prophet” muhammed{you know the one with the 9 year old “wife”}said that this is because women have a “deficiency of the mind”{sahih bukhari 2658}

      But what would allah know with his TWO RIGHT HANDS and muhamed with his magical winged flying donkey with{note} a woman’s face{..muhammed the feminist?}

      “On the day of resurrection allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress”
      Reliance of the traveller,UMDAT AL SALIK r40.1

      Ok maybe not then..if a muslim listens to a woman singing allah will torture you.

      And given allah thinks musical instruments are haram I guess mr Yusuf islam{formerly cat stevens} won’t be accompanying them with any guitar…

      islam:nothing .but nothing compares to U{…in sheer lunacy}
      And female converts to a misogynistic chauvinistic ARAB cult:what fools!

        Lisa should visit Madana School (state funded) in Leicester.
        There they show a poster on the wall which says:

        Listening to Music is Haraam and a Sin
        Stay away from evil acts such as listening to music and encourage others to do the same too!
        • Music is a tool of Shaytan (Satan)
        • The playing of musical instruments and listening to them is Haraam
        • According to the Law [of Islam] one who participates in music is regarded as a Fasiq (Sinful person)
        • One of the harms of music is that it distracts one from his Creator.
        • The messages of today’s music follow a general theme of love, drugs, and freedom
        • Appearance of music and stringed instruments is a cause of Allah’s anger
        • It is a tool of Shaytan (Satan) by which he attracts people to commit wrongful acts
        Music is Haraam (‘forbidden’)

        http://gatesofvienna.net/2014/04/music-is-haraam

        In case of any doubt, she could consult the Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller”, Book Q, “Commanding the Right and Forbidding the Wrong”:

        “Righting the Wrong by Hand, …such as by breaking musical instruments” q5(6)

          Excellent post. There is a saying that the Devil has all the best tunes, but this is ridiculous, isn’t it? Obviously, Muhammad himself ddn’t like music, so this antipathy was projected onto his god Allah.

          People receive the message of hatred of Jews from their babyhood,” says Rabbi Michel Serfaty, founder of the Jewish Muslim Friendship Association of France, which organizes joint social activities for Muslim and Jewish youth in a heavily immigrant area south of Paris. He says he recently tried to introduce some of the teenagers to classical music. “They laughed, saying, ‘That is for Jews.’ It is banned in their homes,” he says.

      The are brainwashed, many from an early age, and converts probably have some severe psychological issues. I can’;t understand why intelligent, thinking adults would accept all that nonsense.

      Not a fan. If the pseudo Islam mumbo jumbo imagery wasn’t enough, the auto tune made me switch off immediately. If The woman is of West Indian background, she might try authenticity as a new gimmick? A rich culture available there,

    She has chosen that path . She should face the consequences of her decision.
    Islam means total submission and she just have to submit

    The Muslim Islamic Religion, following Mohammed, is the only Religion on Earth that Hates Music !* as well as True Love, amongst a number of other Essential Caring Human Values & Characteristics !* Why anyone would want to follow Islam is beyond me ?!* JESUS is the Only Way to Life more abundantly !

    Typical Moslem intelligence…a woman celebrates Islam with a song, Islam being the one religion that says music, songs, woman singing is a sin and forbidden!

    Doing this in some ( most) slamic counties would probably get you put in prison or flogged …

    This was filmed in Dubai, I wonder what that goverment ( and it’s fitna police) had to say about an “ Islamic music video”
    Isn’t that an oxymoron? Maybe just moronic!

    This foolish woman can’t make up her mind.
    First she wasn’t a mudslime, then she converted to mudslime, Then she ditched being a mudslime.
    Now she is back to being a mudslime and going for bonus points, makes what she calls music which pisses off her mudslime mates.
    I wonder if she will ditch being a mudslime again because of the death threats from the religion of peace?

    Yemeni Jews have a musical tradition of female voice and elaborate percussive rhythms on found instruments, such as brass coffee pots, trays and dishes. This is because the strict Yemeni Muslims forbade all music and musical instruments except for the muezzin’s adhan call to Muslim prayer. When the Muslim religious police heard that Jews were performing music and raided a house, the householder could deny the charge and claim to be a good, submissive dhimmi. “See, there are no musical instruments here, only a coffee pot. Please to have some coffee, effendis.”

    Today the Jews have left Yemen, they are free. But bigoted inhuman death-in-life Islam is running wild in England.

      Thanks for mentioning that. I’m so glad Israel was able to rescue most of these Yemeni Jews.

    Lisa Mercedez is desperately trying to present a whitewashed version of islam – with an emphasis on fashion.

    She unknowingly sang things that offended muslims – and is now receiving death threats.

    Will she now leave islam a second time?

    Or is she trapped?

    Keep in mind, she will now be a “high profile” apostate…

    Remember, in Islam, when they say…”Do you want to get stoned?” They mean with real rocks.

    Sorry to have to state the bl**ding obvious, but issuing death threats is a serious offence. So are the police following this up and tracking down the culprits? I know that ‘Mayor’ Khan has got his own little Stasi in London for tracking down people who say naughty things bout him and his chums, so this shouldn’t be beyond the local boys in blue. Or maybe the law doesn’t apply for a certain section of the public ( I won’t say ‘community’ because we don’t have that anymore in the UK).

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 29, 2020 at 12:04 am

      Good question, Jayell. But from what we have heard from Anti-Jihadists around the West, these death threats are seldom taken seriously by police and security.

    Why a woman would want to join the Islamic “religion” is an interesting question. Islam makes a women a second class citizen, takes away almost all civil liberties, and makes her property of a man as long as he wants her. I don’t get it. I guess some women want to be USED, ABUSED, and TOSSED AWAY when no longer useful. Must be a MENTAL problem with Muslims. And killing is always the Islamic answer.

    For any saracen to imitate kufr is haram (so I believe, it is taught) this woman is ignorant of the rules of islam. This is the religious part of islam, or the political part of islam? I dunno?

    UK: Muslims threaten to murder singer who converted to Islam for using Qur’anic prayer in music video
    …………………

    Still not Islamic enough for her murderous new coreligionists. Will this give Lisa Mercedez pause, and cause her to reconsider converting to this vicious creed? Don’t count on it.
