First Christians in Korea, now Muslims in Indonesia: Lady Gaga's Asian tour is stirring up controversy. The WSJ's Deborah Kan speaks to reporter Eric Bellman.
Lady Gaga: Her concert in Indonesia was sold out. But Islamic conservatives raised concerns that Lady Gaga might corrupt young people. Threats of violence prompted police to cancel the concert permit.
Muslim protests may force cancellation of Lady Gaga concert in Indonesia
There has been an outcry against Lady Gaga performing among Islamists and conservative Muslims, who say her revealing costumes and sensual dance moves are "haram," an Arabic term that means "forbidden by Islamic law."
They’re threatening violence. These aren’t conservatives.
But of course, the liberal media thinks we’re violent too. So it all fits in the media’s little screwed up world.
Islam is nothing more than the threat of VIOLENCE.
Muslim Liberals are OK with Lady Gaga?
There’s a new oxymoron.
All the Koreans did was make her concert for adults 18+
Nothing wrong with that.
They aren’t like Canadians who show kiddie porn to kids and call it educational.
I am a catholic conservative. I don’t mind lady gaga. But then again, I listen to less than 30 minutes of music a week. Im a news and talk show junkie. I prefer to look a shakira.
“Conservative Muslim!?! WTF is that like, a’’moderate Nazi?
No offense ‘’tet’’ but if 9/11 was a ‘’threat’’ I’d hate to see what them worthless Saracen bastards do when they really get jinned up.
Is she fatwa-worthy?
What radical Muslim would have a problem with this?
Ping to 13.
[you’re welcome]
;]
Cool. Is she gonna wear that bacon dress?
Looks more like flank or skirt steak to me.
But incredibly edible from any angle.
“She said by bowing to the wishes of “troublemakers,” authorities only give them more power.”
Very brilliant young woman. Too bad the “adults” don’t understand this concept.
I would not breathe the same air as Mr. Gaga. He’s a disgusting, satanistic, no talent show boat. Ewwwww!
No offense taken.
The threat of violence has to have violence behind it
to make it effective,thus we see Islamic acts of
violence validating their threats.
It is particularly effective on the weak and
faint of heart.
On the other hand, they view the declarations
of OUR leaders with some amusement as being without consequences and not backed up with violence.
It’s going to take a lot more than surgical strikes
to cure the cancer that is Islam.
I agree with the Muslims here. Lady Gaga is a cr@pfest not fit for man nor beast. I have no problem with any government that wants to ban her porn-show.
