Members of Jordan's parliament and the kingdom's interior minister are attempting to cancel Mashrou' Leila's June 27 concert in Amman, according to media reports. 

A member of the Lebanese indie band confirmed to StepFeed that Jordanian officials have called for a ban on the concert, but no formal decision has been made. Reports say that tens of ministers have signed a petition against the event.

Ministers opposing the Mashrou' Leila concert have been involved in a heated debate with the country's tourism minister as he had already granted approval for the event, according to reports.

Although the concert has not been banned, many fans are already freaking out on social media. This would be the second year in a row that the band would face a ban in the kingdom.

Last April, the band was blocked from performing just days before a scheduled performance in Amman.

According to a statement released by Mashrou' Leila at the time, the decision came as a direct result of the intervention of “certain authorities” who pressured Jordanian officials to cancel the concert. 

The Jordanian interior ministry officials and religious figures stated that Mashrou' Leila's music contradicts "Islam, Christianity and the values of Jordanian society," the BBC reported.

The ban was eventually lifted the night before the concert was supposed to take place, which made it impossible for the band to follow through with it. 

With its frontman Hamed Sinno open about his queerness, Mashrou' Leila is known for championing sexual freedom. In 2010, Sinno raised the LGBTIQ+ flag during the band's concert in Lebanon, publicly taking a stand for the Arab world's queer community.

Anti-Muslim protesters took to the streets throughout the U.S. this weekend, hoping to spread a message of Islamophobia ... but their plan backfired.

While dozens of demonstrators came out in New York, Chicago, Seattle and other major cities to protest against Islam and Shariah, hundreds came out to stand in solidarity with Muslims and to protest the protestors. 

According to NPR and TIME, across the country, anti-Muslim demonstrations were met with equally as large or larger movements of people supporting Muslims and countering the hate.

The national "March Against Sharia" was organized by the right-wing organization ACT for America. Rights groups have classified ACT as a hate group. The Southern Poverty Law Center calls it the "largest grassroots anti-Muslim group in America, claiming 280,000 members and over 1,000 chapters."

"I don't believe Islam can peacefully co-exist with the Constitution," Seattle anti-Muslim demonstrator Aaron Bassford told TIME. 

"I'm not going to tell them they can come here and take away my Second Amendment right. We need unity in this country under no ideology and no banner except the Constitution of the United States of America," he said.

Other protestors echoed similar sentiments, demonstrating a clear misunderstanding of Shariah, Islam and the reality of demographics in the U.S. 

Muslims currently comprise about 1 percent of the country's population, making it extremely unlikely they would have enough influence to legally enforce any kind of ideology in the foreseeable future.

Furthermore, as Muslim leaders and academics routinely point out, Shariah is simply a code of principles intended to guide the lives of adherents to the religion. While some Muslim majority countries enforce a conservative interpretation of Shariah that rights groups criticize, the same can be said regarding laws in other countries derived from Christian or Jewish teachings.
