Peter Murphy, of Bauhaus (the band, not the architectural movement), is Muslim. Shahed told me on Twitter, but I didn’t believe. I am so sorry Shahed. You speak the truth. My entire anti-religious, rebellious adolescence was spent listening to a Muslim musician. Go figure.

I felt the same way when I found out. I thought I was being rebellious, but God had other plans. My favorite Peter Murphy quote: “”I’ve got my devil still. He’s always on my shoulder, but I’ve made him a Muslim.”
