Black Eyed Peas concert: Muslims not allowed
From the NY Times:
The government in Malaysia has forbidden Muslims to attend a concert that the Black Eyed Peas will play there next month — not because of provocative lyrics or revealing costumes, but because the performance is sponsored by Guinness, The Associated Press reported. The official Web site for the show, which is being held on Sept. 25 near Kuala Lumpur to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Guinness brewery in Dublin, said that “the party is only open to non-Muslims aged 18 years and above.” Of Malaysia’s 25 million people, 60 percent are Muslims; Islamic law forbids the consumption of alcohol.
