Moroccan Islamist party calls for Elton

By musiclover - Fri May 07, 5:14 pm

Morocco’s main Islamist opposition party has called for gay singer Elton John to be banned from performing at a festival in Rabat later this month, a party leader said Friday.

“We categorically reject the appearance of this singer because there is a risk of encouraging homosexuality in Morocco,” the head of the Justice and Development Party (PJD) parliamentary group, Mustapha Ramid, told AFP.

“The problem is not with the singer himself but the image he has in society,” another leading party member, Lahcen Daoudi, added.
