Islam insulter,an Iranian singer name Mohsen’s concert cancelled

Blacklisted: Mohsen, dubbed the Bob Dylan of Iran, was sentenced to five years in prison in June 2009 for ridiculing Islam and the Quran in his songs.

PETALING JAYA: Iranian singer Namjoo Mohsen’s concert at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on Friday has been cancelled.

“The Government disallowed the concert because it was not appropriate in terms of religion, culture and the country’s cosmopolitan nature,” said Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.
