AN Islamist MP says he will not rest until a Michael Jackson tribute show is scrapped altogether, after successfully campaigning to get it switched from the original venue. Music by the late King of Pop was due to be celebrated with a concert at the Bahrain Inter-national Exhi-bition and Convention Centre (BIEC), in Sanabis, tomorrow and on Friday. However, MP Shaikh Mohammed Khalid Mohammed campaigned against The Ultimate Thriller: A Tribute to Michael Jackson event, forcing it to be moved to the Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence and Spa instead. He is now calling on authorities to halt the show altogether, describing Jackson as a "pimp, child abuser and a thief" whose life should not be celebrated.
"Why hold a tribute event for him?" asked Shaikh Mohammed.
"Everyone knows that he is a pimp, child abuser and a thief who stole from the Bahraini royal family.
"Is Jackson the role model we want our families and children to learn about or from? I don't think so."
"I would have accepted tribute to a Muslim singer, even though I believe that no singer deserves it considering that they are empty and hollow," he said.
"But of all the personalities organisers have chosen Jackson, the worst of the worst."
"My target is to have the event cancelled altogether and I won't rest until I do so and have people's hard earned money returned to them and end this waste of time," added the MP.
"Organisers can pack now before the event starts and go to Lebanon or Egypt - two countries that have nothing against this nuisance."
Relieved
If the show goes ahead, it will mark the launch of its Asia tour and Bahrain will be the only GCC country to host it.

When are the youth of this country going to stand against this nonsense, this character and his cronies are shoving their twisted narcissistic ideologies in our faces time and time again. What are you waiting for, next they will ask that music is not to play on out radio channels, and that out TV presenters have to wear Hijab, or just shut down TV radio broadcast all together because it Haram.
I am asking all of you to do the bare minimum, just stick a picture of Michael Jackson in your display on facebook, twitter and forums for the weekend, not for the love of MJ but just to spite Mohamed Khaled and those who are with him. Let’s show him that the youth and the future of this country are not interested in what he’s doing or preaching.
Update: (in your face, Shaikh)

bahraintaxiblogNot happy with forcing a change of venue from the Bahrain Exhibition Centre to The Diplomat Radisson (and I was told it was for safety reasons), Islamist MP Sheikh Mohammed Khalid Mohammed has called for tomorrow and Friday’s Michael Jackson Tribute concert to be cancelled completely. “Everyone knows that he is a pimp, child abuser and a thief who stole from the Bahraini royal family” he was quoted as saying.
Everyone knows? Do they really? Yes, his career was dogged with child abuse allegations and general weirdness but I think most people will be there for the music not for a grand celebration of child-abuse and pimpness, that’s if he ever did abuse children which was never proved in court. And besides, at last its a gig worth going to so lets hope that this party pooper isn’t going to be getting his own way.
Anyway, thanks to the change of venue you will now be able to enjoy a fermented beverage as well. Thanks Sheikh Mohammed!
