https://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061010/india_nm/india271614 Angry Christians force Slayer album out of India Tue Oct 10, 8:13 AM ET MUMBAI (Reuters) - U.S. heavy metal band Slayer's latest album has been recalled from music stores across India after the country's small Christian community said the cover depicting Christ with amputated arms and a missing eye was insulting. Christian groups said the album -- "Christ Illusion" -- did not only have an offensive image on its cover, but some of the songs such as "Skeleton Christ" and "Jihad" hurt the sensibilities of Christians and Muslims alike. "We took strong exception to the album which is offensive and in very bad taste," said Joseph Dias of Mumbai's Catholic Secular Forum. The protests prompted EMI Music, Slayer's Indian-based label, to pull the album from all music stores and its depots. "Last week we recalled all the albums and destroyed them as we did not want any community to be hurt," said T. Suresh, the company general manager. In May, Christians, who make up about two per cent of Hindu-majority India's one-billion plus population, protested against the screening of "The Da Vinci Code", and forced its producers, Sony Pictures, to add a disclaimer saying the movie was a work of fiction.
pls b specific make it indian christian community sucks : and well y does it bothers u wen u download songs illegally anyways
yes, but you'll notice that extremists aren't too few amongst the atheists eiher...a lot of people will try to go out of their way to knock religion.
haha...this is just one of the minor things out of so many major things that happens in this part of earth everyday.....most of them..most of the times remain un-noticed..... so....either get used to it...or change it......
Michael Jackson is banned by Indian Christian Community. He looks like a Gay and also a Christian, which prompts the Indian Christian Community which might suggest that all Christians are Gay, so the angry Christians banning of Michael Jackson from entering India. Paris Hilton is also getting banned soon. She is a Christian and has come up with her Home Video and this might suggest that there's a possible Home Video by Mary. So Paris Hilton banned and any reference to Paris is also banned. In this reference, they are also banning France.... For details visit www.choothiyapublic.com
