May Allah guide Katy Perry though, so instead of slandering her, pray for her. She's corrected her wrong & with it seen the power of Islam

Katy Perry certainly has seen the power of Islam. Her new video hasn’t been removed from YouTube under pressure from Muslims, but the offending frames have been cut.
YouTube quietly removes 'Allah' symbol from Katy Perry video. the name of Allah has been removed from the 'Dark Horse' .

More than 65,000 people added their names to a petition on Change.org demanding that YouTube take down Perry’s “Dark Horse” video, which briefly showed a pendant forming the word “Allah.” The petition read, in part:
The video is considered as highly controversial to its viewers as a result of its portrayal of blasphemy.
At 01:15 into the video Dark Horse; a man is shown being burned, whilst wearing a pendant (also burned) forming the word ‘Allah’, which is the arabic word for God.
Such goes to show, that blasphemy is clearly conveyed in the video, since Katy Perry (who appears to be representing an opposition of God) engulfs the believer and the word God in flames.
The author of the petition also made the claim that “using the name of God in an irrelevant and distasteful manner would be considered inappropriate by any religion.”

I'm a fan of Pop Music. Yes I do like Katy Perry but not after she insulted my religion and burned Allah name.

I love Katy Perry but after watching the Dark Horse music video I felt hurt as a muslim because she burns Allah's name in the video.

Katy perry can go burn in hell for all I care, her new Dark Horse is full of illuminati symbolism and everyone is saying it in the comments
