WTH is the U.S. coming to? Is it a "Right" to never be offended?
LOS ANGELES – An Islamic symbol has been removed from the online version of the Katy Perry music video for 'Dark Horse' after an online petition claimed it was offensive to the Muslim religion.

“At 01.15 into the video a man is shown being burned, whilst wearing a pendant (also burned) forming the word ‘Allah’ which is the Arabic word for God,” wrote Shazad Iqbal in a Change.org petition calling for the video to be removed from YouTube. “Such goes to show, that blasphemy is clearly conveyed in the video, since Katy Perry (who appears to be representing an opposition of God) engulfs the believer and the word God in flames.”

Over 60,000 people signed Iqbal’s petition, and apparently someone involved with the video listened. While the video has not been taken down, as the petition called for, the pendant Iqbal mentioned has now been erased.

Some say the move is off base, and that the controversy over Perry’s video spotlights a double-standard, as artists like Lady Gaga and Madonna repeatedly use Christian symbols in music videos in ways that offend some Christians.

she has worn or used other religious symbols in the past,.. while a few complained.. nothing was done on her part to tone down the uses or to change the production..

I wouldn't buy her music.. but not because of the use of the symbols..

others have done worse towards religious symbols .. and now like twerking or same sex kissing,.. using a religious symbol is just a publicity stunt and not worth our time..

Islam needs to grow up.. .if they were not so dangerous I would just ignore
