Muslims slam Freddie Mercury party | Music | Entertainment | Gay.com UK: "'Associating Mercury with Zanzibar degrades our island as a place of Islam,' the island's Association for Islamic Mobilisation and Propagation said in a letter to the Tanzanian archipelago's culture ministry
'Allowing such a function for a person known outside Zanzibar as a homosexual tarnishes the name of Zanzibar,' the letter continued. "
Two things I didn't know before I read this article. 1) Freddy Mercury was born on Zanzibar. 2) Zanzibar is full of Muslims. Guess that's why it's not a tourist destination, huh?
