Germany: Iranian death threat sends rapper underground Via DW : A Germany-based rapper has cancelled his concerts and turned to the police for protection. An Iranian ayatollah proclaimed one of Shahin Najafi's songs blasphemy, opening the door for him to be killed. Najafi said on Friday he had cancelled concerts in Europe, but that he wanted to continue working despite the threat to his life. "I am young, and I am an artist, and I have to perform," the 31-year old told German public broadcaster Deutschlandfunk, saying that he couldn't accept the idea of living underground for a long amount of time.

Norway: Anti-racists criticise musician Via the Foreigner : Norwegian NGOs are censuring singer-songwriter Hans Rotmo for being immigrant and Muslim-hostile following release of his new composition. Mr Rotmo�s song, �Vi fra andre�, is allegedly a pastiche on a poem by Norwegian writer Henrik Wergeland (1808-1845) from 1841 called �Vi ere en Nation, vi med�, which advocates 17th May � Norway�s National Day � should also be for children. However, the connections with Wergeland�s work become more clouded in the singer-songwriter�s version. Norwegian Centre Against Racism director Kari Helene Partapuoli thinks the text is mostly in �extremely bad taste� and �malicious at times.� �The entire text is based on quite a few simplistic prejudices against immigrants and Muslims in Norway,� she tells Adresseavisen, �it is a cheerful mixture of misguided xenophobia and incorrect assumptions about the Muslim revolution.� ( source )
