In an interview with The Guardian, Prince puts Islam and fun in the same sentence:
It’s fun being in Islamic countries, to know there’s only one religion. There’s order. You wear a burqa. There’s no choice. People are happy with that.
Alright, so Prince parties like it’s 599. Yet somehow I don’t think he’s going to find his Little Red Corvette in Riyadh.

No you idiot, its wear it or we'll chop your head off. Steal we'll chop your hand off. Its forced adherence due to violence and the threat of violence. Oh, and don't try to leave Islam either because they'll kill you for that.

So, what did the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice think of "Darling Nikki"? How did that go over? You vacuous little twirp.
By the way, I hate to pick nits -- no, wait, what am I saying? I *love* to pick nits! -- but AD 599 was before Mohammed started perpetrating the blasphemous fraud that justified his thefts, betrayals, and murders. AD 699 might have been a better rhetorical choice -- twelve years before they fouled the soil of Visigothic Spain, and 33 years before our blessed and most Christian ancestors turned the tide at Tours and began the process of kicking their sorry asses out of Holy Mother France, a repeat of which is long and sorely overdue.
Deus vult!

I wonder if Prince performed at the Islam Festival this past week near Dearborn Michigan. From what I heard, roving groups of teenage "youths" beat-up anyone with a camera, assaulted Christian evangelists, and even intimdated the local sherrif officers. A good time was had by all -even the Burqa covered women!
Since Prince spent his life coming off as some metrosexual who practices androgeny, perhaps he should give benefit concerts in Afghanistan. The Muslims there are quite gay, sometine brutally so.

It's fun to imagine some Salafist web site or mag touting this testimonial. But supposing he wasn't going for the reverse psychology angle, or just indulging in some Warhol-style flippancy, this reminds me of when Sharpton praised all the vintage cars in Havana.

Prince. An excellent musician, who gave a very good SuperBowl halftime performance the year after the "wardrobe malfunction."
But my sources in LA in the 90s told me that he was a bit of a perv. Back when I followed that stuff and had connections.
