The music video for Katy Perry‘s “Dark Horse” has drawn ire from the Muslim community. Shazad Iqbal from Bradford, England, has launched an online petition asking YouTube to remove the clip, which was debuted last week.
The video doesn’t look harmful at all as it mostly features Perry as a queen who uses her power to turn all her suitors into dust after failing to please her with their gifts. However, Iqbal notices that there’s a man wearing a necklace that reads “Allah” who ends up being killed as well.
In the complaint, Mr Iqbal said: ‘The video is considered as highly controversial to its viewers as a result of its portrayal of blasphemy.
The petition has so far garnered 40,000 signatures.
