Many videos are “offensive,” and usually when they involve religion, the target is Christianity. No one apologizes or is even asked to apologize. Are these offenses also “honest and careless mistakes?”
The normal reaction to videos when they are offensive, as is often expected, is to have an adult discussion about them, or simply don’t watch them if you’re offended. The popular American singer/songwriter Madonna’s obsession with mixing the crucifix and other symbols of the Christian religion with promiscuous sex is far worse than depicting Islamic texts in a fashion show, and although blogs have been written about Madonna’s conduct, there was never an uproar that would have (or could have) led to Madonna apologizing to the Christian community.
Lady Gaga also has been outright obscene in her use of the cross in videos. Had she committed the same level of offense of Islam, one can only imagine the fallout.
Until Westerners start treating Muslims like everyone else, Muslims will collectively maintain their supremacism, while the West sinks further into dhimmitude.
CTV news in Canada writes:
The hadith, a written record of the sayings and actions of the Prophet Mohammed and his closest companions, is considered extremely sacred to Muslims, and come secondary only to the Quran in terms of textual authority.
News flash: every religion’s texts are extremely sacred to them. The double standard, however, is not mentioned by CTV; nor is it in the report below.
“Rihanna apologizes to Muslim community after lingerie show plays sacred Islamic text,” Thomson Reuters, October 7, 2020:
Rihanna has apologized to the Muslim community, following an uproar against the inclusion of sacred Islamic texts at a lingerie show. Rihanna said the usage of those texts, which were part of a song played at her Amazon-prime streamed event, was an “honest yet careless mistake.”
“The use of the song in our project was completely irresponsible!” the singer wrote in a statement that appeared in her Instagram Stories, adding that she would “make sure that nothing like this ever happens again.”
Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty show included a section in which lingerie models danced to the song Doom by Coucou Chloe. The 2017 track includes a passage from the Hadith, a sacred text to Muslims that is revered as a record of the Prophet Muhammad’s sayings and actions.
“I’d like to thank the Muslim community for pointing out a huge oversight that was unintentionally offensive in our Savage x Fenty show,” she wrote. “I would more importantly like to apologize to you for this honest yet careless mistake. We understand that we may have hurt many of our Muslim brothers and sisters, and I’m incredibly disheartened by this!
“I do not play with any kind of disrespect toward God or any religion,” Rihanna continued, “and therefore the use of the song in our project was completely irresponsible! Moving forward we will make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. Thank you for your forgiveness and understanding,” she wrote, signing off: “RiH.”
In response to the show, some Instagram users expressed their displeasure. Wrote @nawalkimendhi: “I’ve always loved and looked up to you and appreciated your sense of diversity in all your branding. Now, I see you put an Islamic Hadith or prayer in your music for a lingerie show? That’s beyond disrespectful and disappointing.”….

muslim apologists WILL deny this of course but you can check with Arabic speaking non-muslims{which one should always do anyway:islamic apologists are ferociously filthy liars who love to ‘fiddle the Arabic’ to hide awkward facts about their deviant ‘prophet’.So ask Arabic speaking atheists/christians first.They would have no reason to lie to you.But islamic apologists will ALWAYS be lying to you}
The muslim apologist will say the word Thawb actually means a blanket.
Given muhammed was an Arab version of a white supremacist,to suggest he was ‘under a blanket’ actually makes it worse.
mo the white supremacist wearing a sheet in a cave while he channels his demonic ‘allah’:mo wearing a dress would be less embarrassing.
As for using islamic texts..
Looks like muhammed was a pederast.
muhammed the pedophile:Sahih Bukhari 5:58:236
muhammed sucking the tongue of the boy:Musnad Ahmad 16245{..something pedos actually do..}

Can you write an article on Iqbal Masih. I just saw him on MSN News and want Mr. Spencer’s take on his life and death by assassination at age 12.

If you want to write Robert Spencer, you can do so at the “Contact Us” box on the right-hand side of the page.
This child labor and slavery is still going on in Islamic Pakistan, especially to Christian victims.

Do they make toilet paper with islamic texts or verses from the qur’an? Just asking…for a friend.

Captain Adams : Hey there , I am a Canadian Christian guy and my ancestors are from Iraq . I have a video in my channel ( Music Legends ) where Al-Azhar University in Cairo – Egypt they teach in their curricula to the high school students that it’s permissible for Muslims to use the Torah and Gospel as toilet papers because they are corrupted book according to Islam ! and you can watch it in my channel and you just need to type it the following on YouTube in order to watch it and it’s with English subtitles where I translated it from Arabic ( my second language) into English and I have translated dozens of my videos about Islam from Arabic into English : “ What Al-Azhar university teaches about Christianity and other non-Muslims – English subtitles “ and although my channel is mainly for music especially Lebanese music but I also have dedicated it to expose Islam first and foremost to my fellow Canadians especially to the youth and young generation and also to the rest of the western world and to peaceful Muslims as well in order that they would know the reality about Islam which has been hidden from them for the last fourteen centuries.

Good for you. We all need to do everything we can to expose this false evil religion, Islam, and educate people.
Sylvia Drummond says
Dave – Muzzies don’t use toilet paper, just their left hand but there is a business opportunity here. Just don’t put pervy Mo’s image on it.
FYI says
Speaking of left hands..
The reason allah has TWO RIGHT HANDS is because …he cannot have a left hand.
{Sahih muslim 1827 & Sunan an Nasa’i 5379 book 49 hadith1:
‘And both of his hands are right hands’}

another “uproar”…yawn…

Next time they freak out when someone uses the crescent moon for the calendar…
soo sensitive, except when dishing out.
Rob R (Brit stuck in Britainistan) says
There’s absolute zero, there’s zero Kelvin, and then there’s the number of Muslims who would have heard of this “offense” if the media hadn’t reported it!
FYI says
muhammed might actually have liked the show although he might prefer if the girls were transparent like the Houris of allah’s paradise;and of course,he would prefer them much younger,like Aisha was when they first met{6 years old}

Superb.He’s a brilliant satirist too like David Wood.
Ticks all the boxes for me: a reasonable atheist with a satirical eye and a pretty advanced sense of humor.
And that fake crying @ 3:24 and @10:37 is absolutely hilarious…as is the accent @11:47
