Muslims banned from Guinness-sponsored gig

An official said Malaysia’s government has barred Muslims from a concert by US hip-hop stars the Black Eyed Peas next month because the event is being sponsored by Guinness.

The Black Eyed Peas will perform at a theme park near Kuala Lumpur on September 25 as part of worldwide celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of Guinness’ flagship brewery in Dublin.
