Mouthing off ... KISS bass guitarist Gene Simmons. |
The lizard-tongued rock god who is touring Australia with the world's most enduring glam rock band launched an attack on Muslim extremists during an interview on Melbourne's 3AW radio - including comments which were labelled inaccurate.
"Extremism believes that it's okay to strap bombs on to your children and send them to paradise and whatever else and to behead people," he said yesterday.
The Israeli-born US musician went on to say Islam was a "vile culture" that treated women worse than dogs.
Muslim women had to walk behind their men and were not allowed to be educated or own houses, he said."Your dog, however, can walk side by side, your dog is allowed to have its own dog house... you can send your dog to school to learn tricks, sit, beg, do all that stuff - none of the women have that advantage."
He went on to say the west was under threat."This is a vile culture and if you think for a second that it's going to just live in the sands of God's armpit you've got another thing coming," he said.
Simmons said the United Nations approach did not work and the west had to "speak softly and carry a big stick".The radio station today fielded calls from Muslims upset at the comments, including Australian Muslim of the year Susan Carland, who said Australian Muslims rejected extremism and did not fit Simmons' stereotype.
Ms Carland said she had two degrees, was doing her honours and "certainly do not walk behind my husband".Chairman of the Islamic Council of Victoria Yasser Soliman said Simmons' comments were "very unfortunate"."He's very famous obviously and popular and, as a result, influential," he said.
"Mixing the entertainment world with the political and religious world is a minefield."He said Simmons had begun by talking about extremists but had gone on to vilify the entire Muslim culture."A number of his claims regarding women and what they are allowed to do and not do are wrong - Islam teaches the opposite," he said.
Simmons had a right to free speech, but this had to be balanced against the damage done to innocent people, he said."I think it would be good for overseas speakers and commentators to be given some sort of advice in regards to our vilification laws here," he said."They leave and go back to where they arrived from, but they leave behind a big mess that we have to live with."
It has took a Rock God from one of the worlds best Rock bands to say on radio what we are all thinking, and get away with it. Gene Simmons from the band KISS has had the chance to speak out about Muslims, and tell the whole of Australia just what he thinks of them, and every word he spoke about them is the truth.
Of course there is always someone to go on radio and say that Gene is wrong, but this is from a woman called Susan Carland? She is obviously a brain dead white female, who has converted to Islam and married a Muslim, she is lucky that she has not had a beating yet from her husband, or been made to walk behind him, but then again, they have not took over yet have they, she will soon be singing a different tune when the tides begin to turn. She also says she has two degrees, but what she doesn't tell you is when she got them, what are the odds she had them before she became a Muslim.
I have always had total respect for Kiss, i have every album and cd they have ever done, from when i was 22 to the age i am now [an old git] and i have seen them a few times, but my respect for them has just gone up just about as far as it can get.
Gene Simmons is the God Of Thunder and Rock and Roll. He is also the speaker of truth. Here is the video God Of Thunder, and to any Muslims watching this video, be scared, be very scared.
