bc someone was like "its offensive that katy is a white woman representing cleopatra" or something

Ugh, I didn't even notice she burned a necklace with the word ''Allah'' on it.

She didn't burn anything though
she turned him into sand

Nefertiti was black and she was depicted as such in ancient art, so cleopatra could have as well...

Omg, thanks for clarifying that when I first watched the video I didn't notice any of the things that everyone on ATRL was talking about

The problem with the Cleoptra debate is that both sides want to claim her so badly for some odd reason.

And truth is, Cleopatra was a bit ugly. QUEEN Nefertiti >>>

On topic: The video isn't meant to be taken seriously.

I don't see a part in which she's burning a necklace...?

There's so many wrong things in this thread I don't even know where to begin, so I just won't.

I am seeing the internet just blow up that Katy's Dark Horse video has blasphemy in it, when it doesn't... Yes it burns the necklace that has the word God in Arabic, but I'm muslim and in Islam we should never throw something that has the word God on it (in any language) - unless we did not know - so if we want to get rid of something we burn it (if it is burnable - paper or something) so Katy did not do anything wrong lol im not even offended so y'all need to calm doowwwwnn

just because it's not blasphemous to you (it isn't to me either) doesn't mean it's not blasphemous to someone else.

Sooo basically we're talking the same as if she'd killed a dude who happened to be wearing a crucifix?

I mean, please, anyone correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not here to disrespect anyone, but it seems to be relatively equivalent but for the simple change as to which religion the man would be.

Nor am I saying this isn't offensive/blasphemous - I'm just trying to get a feel for how serious this actually is or what it's like relative to a culture I know better.
