"I was asked about extremists," he said in an interview with The Associated Press. "And that's what I was talking about — only extremists."

"Simmons sparked outrage when Kiss toured Australia earlier this month with comments seen as attacking Islam.

"This is a vile culture and if you think for a second that it's willing to just live in the sands of God's armpit you've got another thing coming," Simmons said during an interview on Melbourne's 3AW radio. "They want to come and live right where you live and they think that you're evil."

He also hit Islam as sexist, saying its culture treated women worse than dogs. "

Doesn't he demean women???

:wtf:

By the way, Mr. Simmons is the ULTIMATE CHICKENHAWK!

Even though I have never actually heard that Simmons is a Republican or a political conservative, I've read plenty of interviews with the guy and he completely has the mindset and philosophy of a Freeper.

Hard.

LOL

Gene is well-known as a pig. In the industry and out.

have many rights in muslim countrys...do they. I don't know how we can defend that... or not point it out.

At any rate:
1. 'Muslim' is always spelled with a capital 'M' - always.
2. The Holy Qu'ran states quite clearly that 'a man shall be
judged by the way he treats his wife.' Moreover, the text of
The Holy Qu'ran bestows women with rights that come very
close to those of men. Far superior to the Bible.

We must look ahead. If the US had spent 200 billion dollars
reaching out to the Muslim community instead of waging a crusade against them how much better off we all would be. Poverty and
lack of education serve no man well. That, in addition to
real support for the people and country of Palestine could have
seeded the winds of progress.

Well, if memory serves me correctly, wasn't Mr Chaim Witz a.k.a. Eugene Klein a.k.a. Gene Simmons born in that same sandy armpit??

What an old ugly fatass intellectual midget who used to dress up in the absolutely stupidest pop music costumes and facepaint ever seen on Earth and pretended like he was God's gift to women because he had that disgusting appendage coming out of his mouth all the time which is a clear indicator to me that he was OVER-STATING his sexual prowess in the same way guys who drive trucks 8 feet off the ground with 4 exhaust pipes coming out the back do...

has to say about Islam?

So I guess I see where he's coming from. Lots of bad blood between those two cultures. Not that I agree with it at all. I don't.

Are we listening to celebrities who don't know what the hell they're talking about or not this week? Should I take Gene Simmons or Pat Boone seriously, or should they be dismissed out of hand?

Although I'm glad that Simmons saw fit to "clarify" his remarks, I have to wonder why folks like Simmons and Boone get air time, but we can't get a few minutes of informed opinion from Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, Matthew Rothschild, Howard Zinn or Noam Chomsky.

I saw Mr. Simmons on the Bill Maher show, along with another Rightie. They were discussing the Vietnam War. Simmons was all for it & wanted to go, but he was in college!

Ho Ho Ho.
