That wouldn't have made him Muslim considering Islam was founded AFTER Christ died.

As for the Madonna video, there was a stink about that too. The whole video was a mess, her making out with the saint, the burning crosses and her acting provocatively in a church. Ppl complained... keep in mind, the things that are "acceptable" today were not so acceptable back then. That video was her "pushing the envelope".

Jesus was Hebrew. Jesus' whole family descendant were Jewish.

By dressing up like Jesus when he was on the cross he is comparing himself to Jesus. Actions speak louder than words. Also when Jesus died on the cross he did that so that all of mankind could be saved and have a chance of getting into Heaven. The Jewish people were the chosen people meaning that only they would be the ones to get into Heaven, but since they didn't believe in him, and that he is the son of God the doors opened for the rest of the world. So that's why he died for us, and suffered for us, and I know that kanye would never sacrifice himself so that the rest of the world would be saved. Who has Kanye saved? No one. Who has he sacrificed his life for? No one? Plus he has never suffered the way that Jesus did. Kanye is just a rapper, and Jesus is the son of God, and no one should ever compare themselves to him because they are not worthy.

Because he's portraying himself as Jesus with the crown of thorns........That was Jesus' most trying time.....where he suffered the most.

LOL okay okay NOT ARABIC cuz your rite thats another crazy thread...but I believe I meant MIDDLE EASTERN OR no maybe not or Jewish are they white?.lol.. oh man..I dunno ...He was Brown okay!!...

Sweetness · Guru

I'm really split on this one. Well for one in the Bible it does say that one should act the way that Jesus did...you know humble, kind, and so on, because of that the cover doesn't bother me as much, but on the other hand I do feel a bit ofended. I feel that way, because I really don't think that a human being should even try to compare their suffering to Jesus's suffering. As a Christian I feel that we are not equal to Jesus, therefore we shouldn't compare ourselves to him, because we will never live up to be the kind of person that he is. Oh and as for people getting mad, because he is trying to portray a black Jesus...well I don't really think that this is the case here, and personally I don't believe that Jesus was white when he was here on earth. I believe that he was more of a tan colour.

see according to the legend, Jesus was a real person so his physical appereance is limited by his earthly body thus it is subject to debate. La Virgen de Guadalupe was an "apparition" of non physical form, which means she could have presented herself to Juan Diego in any way she wanted, including any skin tone.

Why is it ok for people to disrespect Christianity but heaven forbid they disrespect any other religion? All these things are sacriligious and are blasphemous. Kanye justifies this Rolling Stone cover by saying that he feels he struggled and suffered to get to where he is today. Fine yes.. you did but it is NOT COMPARABLE to Jesus' suffering.

According to an amazing special on A & E this is what Jesus most likely looked like.

The Real Image Of Jesus?

Does the picture in Popular Mechanics show the real face of Jesus?
Israeli and British forensic anthropologists and computer programmers, using the techiques of forensic anthropology, produced this artists' conceptualization and is largely based on the work of Richard Neave, retired medical artist from the University of Manchester in England.

The researchers started with an Israeli skull dating back to the 1st century. They then used computer programs, clay, simulated skin and their knowledge about the Jewish people of the time to determine the shape of the face, and color of eyes and skin. The resulting figure has a broad peasant's face, dark olive skin, short curly hair and a prominent nose. He would have stood 5-foot-1-inch tall (155 cms.) and weighed about 110 pounds (50 kilos)

"Using archaeological and anatomical science rather than artistic interpretation makes this the most accurate likeness ever created," Jean Claude Gragard, producer of the BBC documentary "Son of God," told The London Times. Gragard used the same image last year in his series. "It isn't the face of Jesus, because we're not working with the skull of Jesus, but it is the departure point for considering what Jesus would have looked like," he added.

My opinion on Kanye is that he lis a decent musician who lacks personality. While he has a couple of good songs, I can't help but notice how some of his songs sound very similar. The comments he makes serve to inflate his marketing value. This particular cover will guarantee publicity and in the end he won't regret it one bit. While the picture is not evil, it borders on blasphemous depending on the sensitivity of the reader. I think more careful consideration should have been given by him and his publicists. By the way, does anyone know if the content in the magazine interview merits this cover photo?

I personally think this whole issue is being exagerrated. Anyone who listens to his album knows how much he believes in God/Jesus. How he feels blessed and so on. At no point has he said he doesn't need Jesus in his life or question his belief. If anything he has opened more peoples eyes to Jesus with "Jesus Walks"
There will be haters and supporters but he's not verbally sending a bad message.
