Madonna: I'm not blasphemous, so there

Madonna has rejected accusations of blasphemy over her song 'Isaac', telling MTV it is named after a singer called Isaac, not the Jewish mystic.

Madonna has responded to those Jewish Mystic Kaballah types who accused her of blasphemy for writing the song 'Isaac' about a 16th century Jewish mystic called Yitzhak Luria.

The singer told MTV: "The absurd thing is that it's not what they think it is. It's not a song about Isaac Luria. I don't know anything about Isaac Luria, so I couldn't write a song about him. The song is called 'Isaac' because the man who is singing on it is named Isaac. I think one person saw that name and decided that they were going to go out and say I was doing something blasphemous, and it's just not true."
