Ascetic 0 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/youtube-to-remove-katy-perry-s-dark-horse-video-depicting-name-of-god-allah-youtube-to-remove-katy-perry-s-video-dark-horse-from-their-website?utm_campaign=buffer&utm_content=buffer7a697&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com This petition is lodged In regards to Katy Perry's music video 'Dark Horse'; hosted by KatyPerryVEVO, on YouTube. The video is considered as highly controversial to its viewers as a result of its portrayal of blasphemy. At 01:15 into the video Dark Horse; a man is shown being burned, whilst wearing a pendant (also burned) forming the word 'Allah', which is the arabic word for God. 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. This is the reason for lodging the petition so that people from different walks of life, different religions and from different parts of the world, agree that the video promotes blasphemy, using the name of God in an irrelevant and distasteful manner would be considered inappropriate by any religion We hope that the video itself depicting such images is removed. Such acts are not condoned nor tolerated, we hope YouTube will remove the video Discuss so we don't have issues in other threads please EDIT: The screencap EDIT 2: 25K reached EDIT 3: Amount needed changed to 35k EDIT 4: 35K reached, amount increased to 50k EDIT 5: 50k reached, amount increased to 75k UPDATE 6: IT WAS REMOVED: Edited February 26, 2014 by ascetic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
