They even added some scenes to Applause video and "directed by: Terry Richardson" at the end without removing it.

she may have nothing to do with it anyways an sooo egypt is a muslim country people will wear symbols
no no stop being an oversensitive religous person, your overreacting over something sooo tiny! the man was turned to dust anyways nothing to do with being a stan darling most people would agree

No matter if it was offensive to you or not it still offended a great number of people. A good choice was made

IKR the director is so ignorant

Thanks

Because the Allah symbol was the main message she wanted to portray. Girl, she probably didnt even know that "prop" was there

As a Muslim, I have a right to defend my religion if it's being abused or satirized. Just like I can defend any other aspect of my life.

don't be so arrogant
the word ALLAH is not "tiny", it's such a huge huge deal for religious people especially for Muslims

What?


This is a highly worrying discovery (for me at least) If Google allows already uploaded vids to be edited by the owner/uploader, then how do we know that they haven't allowed other uploaded vids to be retouched and kept where they are?

oop

I live in Egypt btw and there was no Islam at her time. The word "Allah" was not even known/invented. That's why I'm saying it was "forced".

And no, I'm not oversensitive. Why is it not OK (for ATRL) to be a racist, homophobic or sexist, but it's OK to be offensive to people of religions? And if I'm offended, I get called oversensitive.

Anyway, personally, I'm not offended (although I think it is offensive for Muslims), simply because I think Katy Perry's music is too silly and lacking thought that it's simply not deep enough to actually be insulting.

You need to calm down...

People could say whatever they want and protest to whatever they want. She shouldn't have has Allah in the video, considering they are made all seem like terrorists by western countries; they have every right to protest.

That being said, religion shouldn't be used in any video's. If Beyonce did the same thing, then I would have been a little ticked off myself.

Use religion in a respectful manner at least. First having the guy wearing an Allah necklace in a wrong place and then turning him into sand... It's calling for trouble.

im not arrogant sweetie im telling the truth i swear the necklace was not turned to dust only the guy?

We already ignored this the first time you posted it.

Anyways, good for her! She probably didn't even realize it was there until she offended people.

Boodytay better preach

i do wonder if they would've done the same thing had the video offended any other religions. but she/whoever chose to include it shouldn't have in the 1st place.

I'm pretty sure she did not know about it/recognize the symbol, which is indicative of a bigger problem. She should have know everything about the video she's filming if she's truly involved in the process of making the video. If she hadn't, well that's a mess.
