Gene Simmons labels Islam a "vile" culture - which leads to a storm of protest...

KISS bass player GENE SIMMONS has angered the Muslim community after labelling Islam a "vile" culture on a live radio interview

Israeli born Simmons, who is currently on tour in Australia, launched the attack on Melbourne's 3AW radio.

"Extremism believes that it's okay to strap bombs on to your children and send them to paradise and whatever else and to behead people," he said yesterday (May 13).

"Your dog, however, can walk side by side, your dog is allowed to have its own dog house... you can send your dog to school to learn tricks, sit, beg, do all that stuff - none of the women have that advantage."

Simmons also warned that the West was under threat, and that the Untited Nations didn't work, adding the West must "speak softly and carry a big stick".

"This is a vile culture and if you think for a second that it's going to just live in the sands of God's armpit you've got another thing coming," he said. "They want to come and live right where you live and they think that you're evil."
I always liked Gene Simmons.  I particularly love the story about how he dreamed up KISS as he was toiling away in obscurity as an eighth grade science teacher.  This is just a cherry on top.

Love ya Gene!
