Prince

Islamists

1. Riaz thinks that Prince's music derives you from Allah so he does not support Shahid listening to him.

The group of Riaz are islamists which means they live out a very extreme form of the islam that thrives further away from the actual and peaceful religion. They do not accept any other religion and think it is alright to speak up against other religions but do not want to hear anything against theirs.

Freedom of speech based on the book

The satanic verses

1. The Group of Riaz refuse the book
