    Sorry, but I don't want Republican picketers camping on *my* lawn. Remember Zanzibar!

    Wikipedia, the internet's most trusted information broker says:
    Controversy surrounding sixtieth birthday celebration

    On August 25, 2006, an organization calling itself the Islamic Mobilization and Propogation, or UAMSHO, petitioned the Zanzibar government's culture ministry, demanding that a large-scale celebration of what would have been Freddie Mercury's sixtieth birthday be cancelled.

    UAMSHO had several complaints about the planned celebrations, including that Mercury was not a Muslim, had a homosexual lifestyle that was not in accordance with the laws of Islam, was not a true Zanzibari, and that 'associating Mercury with Zanzibar degrades our island as a place of Islam.'[41] The planned celebration was cancelled.
