NEWS: Katy Perry Dark Horse video edited


Katy Perry's latest video has beed edited because it received a petition signed from a community of Muslims saying that it was blasphemous.

The problem was that in the clip featured a person with a pendant which had the Arabic word for God in it reduced to sand. This scene was considered offensive for more than 65000 people.

As a response to these complaints, Katy Perry's company or Youtube (it is not clear who did it) erased the word "God" from the scene satisfaying the urges from this Muslims.

Before and after - the pendant featuring Allah, the Arabic word for God, has been digitally removed from the scene
Opinion: I think that the Muslims' petition was justified, because all religions must be respected. However, people cannot acuse Katy Perry for blasfemy because it is most likely that putting the name "God" in the pendant was not her idea. The most important thing in this piece of news is that Katy Perry or Youtube erased that pendant from the clip in a peaceful way. Other artists can learn from this fact because these clips are viewed by millions of hits and can be understood in lots of different ways.
