Lisa Mercedez is an example of the cultural transformation that is taking place in Britain. But her well-intentioned efforts to promote her new faith in her new single “Shahada” have backfired. The larger question is this: how can this murderous intransigence coexist peacefully in a society that values the freedom of speech? It cannot, and will not. 

“Lisa Mercedez Receives Death Threats After Returning To Islam With Dancehall,” by Shirvan Williams, Dancehallmag, April 23, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Jamaican born, British-based Dancehall artiste, Lisa Mercedez has been receiving death threats since she announced that she has chosen a new path in life but didn’t intend to let that influence her love of Dancehall.

Mercedez grew up Christian but discovered Islam after moving to England following her father’s death in 2002. The Islamic community helped her to adjust to life in the country and provided her with the support that she needed. She apparently left the faith when she started her dancehall career in 2005. On March 3rd, she announced that she reverted and once again became a Muslim.

She may find that she has a long road ahead trying to live both lifestyles especially having collaborated with artistes like Vybz Kartel, who is known for his violent and sexually explicit lyrics. On April 3, the pair released a song called Real Love. She will collaborate again with Kartel on his upcoming album, Of Dons & Divas for a track called WorlBoss. The album is expected in June 2020.

In an effort to adhere to the rules of her religion and still produce Dancehall music, Mercedez has begun to wear more clothes, including a hijab, the traditional wear for Muslim women. However, it seems that her attempt to be more modest is not enough for some critics and now the deejay has been receiving death threats.

She spoke with British based, online publication, Metro.co.uk, about her conversion and the struggles she’s faced to maintain both lifestyles including the death threats she’s received since releasing her new single Shahada.

On Instagram, the singer posted a picture of the above-mentioned article and captioned it: “Check out @metro.co.uk where I discuss my recent reversion to Islam, I’m very disgusted by some of the Muslim community sending me death threats in my dms and under my comment section”….

The death threats have come because of her use of a prayer from the Koran, in the opening scene of her video which is strictly forbidden in Islam. “Don’t get me wrong, a lot of people like the song but there are so many people saying, “Why are you doing this to our religion?” Because you’re not meant to play music behind the prayer. They keep creating fake accounts and saying, “I’m going to kill you”.”…
