I did not dare to drive any car there. If I had gotten into an accident, the passers by might have beaten me up. !!!!!

DJ Muslims In Thailand Offended By Rap Song's Use Of Quran . BANGKOK (AP)--Muslims in Thailand have lodged complaints about a Thai rap song that includes a verse from the Quran, claiming it insults the Islamic holy book. The Council of Muslim Organizations of Thailand said Tuesday that it agreed with complaints received in recent days that rapper Joey Boy shouldn't have used the Quran in his song, said Nithi Hasan, the council president. "We don't think it was appropriate - we don't agree with this," Nithi said in a telephone interview. "He shouldn't do this." The song, called "Chouy" in Thai, or "Indifferent" in English, was released eight years ago. It wasn't immediately clear why it has suddenly become controversial. An article on the Thai-language Muslim Web site, www.muslimthai.com, said the song, "clearly insults the Quran .. the Quran strictly forbids the use of its verses in songs." Joey Boy, whose real name is Abhisit Opasiemlikit, told Tuesday's Bangkok Post newspaper he was shocked to learn of the anger his song had caused and said he had no idea the song had included a verse from the Quran. "Had I known, I would never have sung it. I am sorry," he was quoted as saying, adding that he would apologize to the Muslim community in mostly Buddhist Thailand and recall all existing albums. -Edited by Clarissa Tan (END) Dow Jones Newswires
