A lot of controversy has been generated after it was announced that Elton John will be performing at a concert in Morocco. The country has a very complex and ambiguous attitude towards homosexuality. Many people stress that Elton John should not be allowed to perform in the country. His supporters point out that he should be allowed to play in Morocco as music is above all the considerations.

Many hardcore extremists are very angry that the concert is being allowed to be held in Morocco. The concert is backed by the Government, Royal Palace and a lot of other people.

Security has already been beefed up at various places around the country. A lot of policemen along with plain clothes officers have been deployed at sensitive places.

Most of the people speak either French or Arabic in this country. There is a lot of tussle between the moderates and the hardliners in the country.

Recently, the publication of a gay magazine was started in the country. Homosexuality is a taboo in most of the Islamic countries around the world. Some still maintain that a more open and frank approach is needed on this topic.

Religious experts also point that homosexuality is against Muslim religion and a show like this will promote homosexuality. Some experts agree that there is a lot of difference between what is preached and what is practiced.
