Singers
The British Embassy in Yemen issued a warning to British singer Sami Yusuf from participating in a concert which backed the Palestinian people "Together Breaking the Blockade." Sami Yusuf entered the hall surrounded with body guards who prevented the crowd from shaking his hand or even taking his picture (for unknown reasons) and then sat for only 15 minutes before leaving.
The Muslim singer from Azerbaijani origins is quickly becoming a phenomena across the Arab and Muslim world for his Islamic music. He sings "Anasheed" which are religious songs praising the prophet Mohammed and God All Mighty.
Is the British Embassy in any authority to permit or prevent people from singing even just because he’s Muslim???
I thought this guy is Turkish. He have a nice voice though, and he spoken many languages, that is so cool dude!!
Well, they still hates about Islam, but he should know that Islam doesn’t talk about instrument of music.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the British, they are racist. They can't even how to flip upside down.
Losers!!
well thats British 'democracy' and 'freedom of speech' for you.nothing more to say.
From a day to an other british show and teatch us how to be democratic. They are equal to their big brother america.
Shame on them.
