Elton John Planning Civil Marriage with Long-Term Partner

 

(Comments in RED are Mine)

LONDON (Reuters) - British pop star Elton John intends to marry his long term partner David Furnish some time this year or in 2006, his publicist said Monday.

 

The singer told the Mirror tabloid that he and Furnish wanted to hold a civil partnership ceremony in Windsor, near London, in mid-December, although publicist Gary Farrow said John had added it could take place some time next year. "He (John) said that it may be by Christmas and it may be next year," Farrow told Reuters.

 

He added that one of John's main motivations for going ahead with the ceremony was financial. Civil partnerships between gay couples will be allowed in Britain starting Dec. 5 and give partners tax breaks available to married couples.

 

John, 58, and Furnish, 42, have been partners for more than 11 years. A Web site recently speculated the couple was splitting up, prompting Furnish to say that they had "never been happier."

 

John told the Mirror that Furnish should not expect many of the trappings of a regular marriage. "There will be no honeymoon. I'm on tour," he said. John has sold tens of millions of records worldwide and is best known for classic tracks including "Candle in the Wind" and "Rocket Man."

 

He has signed an agreement to perform 75 shows over three years in Las Vegas and also is touring the United States, Europe and Canada over the coming months. John, born Reginald Kenneth Dwight, previously married German music engineer Renate Blauel in 1984. She and John divorced four years later.

It seems that many of the western countries are turning into modern day Sodom & Gomorrah. These are the kind of lifestyle that they want to impose on the Muslim world in the name of democracy & freedom.

 

It seems amazing that the Christian Missionary Organizations are oblivious to this moral decay in these countries. These organizations are busy going around to countries in Asia, Africa etc & pushing Christianity down the throat of these people. Sometimes using deceptive methods. Or is it that they have given up hope & resigned to the fate that their countrymen are doomed to this kind of lifestyle until end of time.

(Holy Quran-16:125)

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
