Beyonce Postpones Malaysia Show; Conservative Muslims Find Her "Immoral"

Filed under: Beyonce

bwenn5352245.jpg

We've called her a lot of things, but we would never suggest that she lacks morality!

Beyonce had a show slated for Malaysia next week, but has now postponed the show, allegedly because of Islamic extremist criticism of her performing style. Due to her "provocative clothes and choreography", conservatives of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party think that the show would be "immoral" and should be cancelled because it would promote "Western sexy performances."

Though the event promoters would not confirm if the postponement was in response to these statements, they did confirm that the show would be rescheduled for a " future date to be announced shortly." Whether that will come to pass or not will soon be seen.

But if Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani can make it work in Malaysia, than surely B can too!

      Re: fuckhaterzz
      If you say "WHEN PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING DISRESPECTFUL TOWARDS THE PEOPLE OF ANOTHER RELIGION, IT PISSES ME OFF."
      then stop making fun of people you assume are Christians.
      Otherwise, you are being just as bad, as the people you hate.
      Also if you act like this, others may try to justify their prejudice towards Muslims by these actions.
      Ask yourself what are you trying to accomplish?

      Re: Yellow Peeps – cuz they think they are all so mighty in the country and wants to rule it by making all these shitty rules. and the worst part is, they 'believes' that the all so lovely Michael Learns to Rock is bad too. WTF!!!
      Now i cant go to B's concert for the second time same goes to rihanna. sucks!



    8. 108

      Re: cavejam – it has nothing to do with black ppl. if it is and they prefer white, why would they want to ban the all white Michael Learns to Rock. Explain that!



    9. 109

      our country are dominated by MUSLIMS! Fuck democratics! altho they always say that Malaysia is a Democratic country! OBAMA!!! SAVE US!! WE WANT CHANGE! T___T



    10. 110

      frankly i think they just don't want the ghetto slut in their country. that said, i don't see what the problem is. if she can't abide by the dress code then she has to leave.



    11. 111

      and those here throwing the race card sound really friggin ignorant.



    12. 112

      She doesn't deserve to step foot in an islamic country



    13. 113

      i am a moslim and i think that the extrimist are over re acting, the most 'islam people' are worser than beyonce and do so many bad stuff God Allah teaches us to be respectful to yourself and others and if beyonce is showing that much skin then she isnt respecting herself!!!!!

      People have developed a lot of misconceptions about Islam and hence the anger and hatred here. After 9/11 I've studied it extensively to understand it and I'm glad I did. Its not as extreme as it has been made out to be.

      First here me out. Jesus said turn the other cheek, but do all Christians do that? Jesus said love your neighbor like yourself, but do all Christians do that? NO!

      Same problem with Islam and muslims. Islam teaches one thing, muslims go out and do the opposite. (not all of them of course)

      For example, in the Koran God clearly states,
      "There is no compulsion in religion"

      So the extremists who forcefully try to convert others to their own way of thinking, or preventing others from converting, are clearly going against the teachings of the Koran and committing a sin.

      According to Islam killing one human is equal to killing the entire humanity. But the extremists ignore it and bomb themselves and others, paving a path straight to hell.

      Muhammad said the best thing you can do for your children, especially your daughters, is to provide them with education. But the opposite has been going on in countries like Afghanistan.

      Those with a little bit of brain power can see the point here. It is not Islam that is the cause of suffering and violence in the Muslim worlds or crimes committed by muslims men toward others but those men themselves. Why? Because the are as imperfect as any western man is. There are bad seeds everywhere.

      Get it?

      what the hell is wrong with you ppl. news flash, it's not like they're asking her to convert into islam. they're just asking her to dress it down a little. these ppl are protesting because they're closed minded fucks. so why should beyonce give a shit abt them? if she truly cared about her malaysian fans, she'd still carry on with the show. these protesters DO NOT REPRESENT MUSLIMS in malaysia. they're just a bunch of fucktards. her malaysian fans don't give two shits if they want to protest so why should she? infact, a few fans wouldn't mind throwing rocks at these morons. so chill. and beyonce has a shit load of security so i don't think her safety is an issue. and in case all you close minded americans out there think tht all muslims are a bunch of violent terrorists, the answer is fuck no. those ppl are called extremists. we don't have that here in malaysia. and if we did, they wont be attacking beyonce. they'd probably go straight to america. that was a joke, relax. noone is going to bomb your country. its just a fucking one and a half hour concert. can't she just put on a t-shirt and sing. honestly, we malaysian fans couldn't care less abt what she wears. we want her.



    17. 117

      i have to agree and disagree with some people here.
      sure, Beyonce is a great talented performer and all. I think it's a good thing to not wear too revealing clothes, just to respect the religions and culture in Malaysia.
      It's the Islamic religion that goes overboard. Malaysia has Islamic Youth Groups who totally take such things as "immoral" and "bad for the younger generation".

      They're making such a big deal over the most littlest things.
      Why not make all foreign artists performance open to other religions except the muslims in Malaysia. THAT might solve everything. >_>



    18. 118

      PAS is making me friggin' frustratd by the day! Accept the fact, malaysians can nvr be as good muslims as they think. Even so, we know our boundaries (at least some of us) and stuff like this isnt even a big deal! if they hate it so much, why dont they just ban tv, internet, radio, and the freaking country borders so that no 'influence' can freaking influence the people!



    19. 119

      same with me i am so so ashamed to be SEasian… wtf is wrong with those people?? "oh so conservative.. " fk that attitude it doesnt exist anymore and there is nothing wrong with what she's doing she's just doing her job as a singer.. damn those closedminded people.



    20. 120

      i am malaysian and i think that these so called islamic people should take a good look around at their own people cause their morals are far worse then beyonce's so yeah she dresses up provocatively but her morals i would say is intact in public unlike some so called religious people who are screwing and giving blow jobs behind dark raods and bumpin and grinding in clubs…oops their not supposed to be in clubs let alone touch each other it is like against their religon if their not married



    21. 121

      malaysian muslim here
      i'm not a fan but she'd be great 4 malaysians
      it's not about muslims or malaysians
      it's just that fuckinoying party wanna a piece of publicity
      just do thing ur thing B!



    22. 122

      okey, so im a Malaysian, and i have to say that some Malaysian find postponing the concert really stupid, almost all the tickets are sold out and all ticket holders were really dissapointed that the concert was postponed. and another thing, different people have different beliefs okey? you people have no right to be posting these racist comments, you guys think that saying muslims suck and all that bullshit,we all arent terrorists you know? its just really wrong. alot of people in Malaysia LOVE beyonce, and we really want her to come. the islamic group wanting the ban is just ONE group that doesnt speak for all the Malaysian people.



    23. 123

      Maybe she and her dancers can find some nice, lightweight, loose-fitting burqas to dance in. That should satisfy those backward-ass fucks….



    24. 124

      Re: CutlerFan – I agree with you - it has become acceptable to dress like a complete whore - I seriously think I should have been born in the 30's, I hate my generation. Then if you talk about how whore-ish people are, in our country mainly, you get attacked for it… They aren't extremist for believing in modesty and leaving a little something to the imagination - I guess that since my husband and I don't believe you should dress like a high-price hooker, we are extremists to…..it has nothing to do with religion for me either…I am atheist - it is just morals. And Antisignaporeans…..up - are you telling them that they are immoral for believing in modesty? Wow….how back asswards our country has become.



    25. 125

      Re: phineinphilly – HAHHAHAHAHA!!! beautiful….the truth is hilarious.



    26. 126

      Re: DukeSteele – Not all muslims and islamics are extremists….my husband being in the army has met many while in Iraq and Afghanistan and all of the ones he met (the translators, the army out there and a ton of civilians) were, in his words "extremely polite and wonderful people". It is a wonderful thing to not have a religion that encourages me to hate other people without getting to know any of them. It is simple, you haven't met them - how can you hate all of them….granted there are a few fucked up ones, there is a group of fucked up ones, but not every single muslim and islamic person is like that. Grow up.



    27. 127

      Re: DukeSteele – It is people like you that make me ashamed to be from America. I am so glad our next station is in Germany - I can get the fuck out of here for a few years and away from you ignorant fucks.



    28. 128

      gosh, this sucks! was looking forward to beyonce in Malaysia. heey guys just because of a few silly extremist dont think Malaysia's bad. we definitely dont hate blacks. its just a few rotten apples that spoil the whole bunch thats all.



    29. 129

      Re: CutlerFan

      If this was a country with values, why are their children supporting Bey's music? Watching her music videos, and reciting her lyrics? If they had a problem with Bey's wardrobe, and choreography, then why invite her in the 1st place? I am NOT a Beyonce fan, but lets keep it real, How else was she going to perform "Single Ladies?" H.E.L.L.O. LMAO. As for other US singers and musicians who performed in Malaysia, they showed respect for $$$$$…not about morality and values!



    30. 130

      I kinda agree with this
      She's in another country so she has to follow the rules of the country
      Beyonce used to be cool, but now she's losing it
      Kids look up to people like her and if she's dressing like that then what kind of message is that giving? They're not asking her to come onto stage in a burka and hijab, they'd just appreciate it if she were a tiny bit more covered up

      Salam peeps



    31. 131

      Re: BlueBerry101 – THANK YOU!
      Finally someone who understands



    32. 132

      I don't blame Bey for not performing. 'I Am..Sasha Fierce' is an alter-ego album. Being covered up performing "Halo" or "If I were a Boy" would have made sense. But how was she going to introduce "Sasha Fierce" dressed up like a nun? Did any of you sexist morons make sense of any of this before you began to defend the government in Malaysia?



    33. 133

      As someone who lives in Malaysia,I kinda feel ashamed that this is on Perez..
      Here's the deal.. Everytime a foreign artiste schedules a concert here,that party calls for a ban,n threatens to protest.. U name it,Avril,Gwen,Linkin Park, even Michael Learns To Rock..!! Yes,they did protest those artistes,but the concerts went on without a hitch.. That party just likes to open their big mouths n talk about banning evrything.. But no 1 really cares what they say.. Sure,it alwasy gets in the papers,but no 1 really cares.. Cz they do it for evry foreign artiste.. Sad, I know.. But the majority of the people in Malaysia disagree with the party,n think that it's not right for them to dictate what we can n cant watch.. Theyre not the government..! I hope Beyonce goes on with the concert to show them that they need to STFU.. N as for people worried about beyonce's safety,dont worry,Malaysia isnt that kinda country.. It is actually quite progressive.. It's just that one party that always causes trouble..



    34. 134

      Re: alaa – You may have not heard this story but, you know it happens. I read it in both newspapers and other news services. I guess you say it didn't happen because you don't want to admit it. Its called an honor killing in the name of allah ( not worthy of a capital letter) and you know it. (some honor)And I looked at my posts and I didn't swear.But, you're right about me insulting you and the rest. Are you just used to people swearing at you? And why did you pick AMERICA to come to to study? Why not go somewhere that kisses the collective asses of your kind? Like Malaysia??? ANY real AMERICAN wouldn't want a muslim doctor. Boy, thats an oxymoron, isn't it? A doctor that kills.



    35. 135

      Beyonce IS FIERCE!!! She should just perform in all her sexy outfits and act like a bitch against this stupid muslim party!! Sure Avril and Gwen covered up, but where they kick-ass shows??? I bet not!! BEYONCE'S IS THE QUEEN SHE CAN SING AND DANCE AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT GOING OFF-KEY! NOT MANY ARTISTS CAN DO THAT! YOU ROCK BEYONCE AND FUCK ALL THE HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    36. 136

      Re: fuckhaterzz – im not a christian either. there is no suck thing as god love :)



    37. 137

      Re: Slutstick – Of course, they're "extremely polite and wonderful" while they are in front of you. As long as you don't turen your back to them. Don't be so naive. And who said I have never met them. Tell your husband to pick his "friends" carefully. Muslim friend is another oxymoron. There is no such thing unless you are another muslim.



    38. 138

      Re: Eyad87 – no, fuck the sexism in islam :)



    39. 139

      *such even.

      a bit of covering up didn't do anyone any harm



    41. 141

      Re: fuckhaterzz – Muslims in Macedonia, although they have the right to have mosques, practise their religion, have muslim schools, get an education like anyone else, are now fighting for road signs to be written in arabic. Are petitioning for children in schools to be banned from wearing crosses, (because it's apprantley offensice to them) even though it has and always will be a christian country. They are the majority in some small villages, and are trying to make these villages independent states. They are murdering macedonian christians who drive through these villages. These are facts. If you want to have a conversation about this, try to make a comprehensive argument without using fould language. This also happened in Serbia in what is now Kosovo. It's happening in various villages throughout Russia, too.



    42. 142

      Re: fuckhaterzz – I did not say anything about Muslims being uneducated. I said that they are able to gain an education in non muslims countries, just an example as to how they are treated the same as everyone else in many countries. Don't put words in my mouth.



    43. 143

      Re: fuckhaterzz – Yes, but when you are living n a christian country, that is to be expected. Just like if I was living in Saudi Arabia, it would be expected that they wouldn't bend to my christian ways (which I'm certain they wouldn't - just TRY to tell me otherwise.)



    44. 144

      Re: fuckhaterzz – Your example of prvoking governments is exactly what they're doing in Tetovo at the moment, which has already been explained, I won't repeat myself.



    45. 145

      Re: fuckhaterzz – And my muslim friends know exactly what I think of this, and they think the same. I have nothing at all against them and their religion. What I do have a problem with is extremist groups and militia who populate an area, then force the locals out in order to create their own islamic state. That is bulling and it is not right. I have no issue with muslims who believe in freedom for everyone. They can follow what religion they want and I follow the one I want. They don't push their agenda on me, and I don't push mine on them. I respect them by not serving pork at parties and my house, and they respect me by coming over for easter lunch.



    46. 146

      Re: fuckhaterzz – They're not coming over because of easter, they're coming over because they know it's important to me to have my friends and family there. Why is it not enough to live together peacefully? What's with the fighting for islamic states. Why push your beliefs on other people? I've been to muslims countries for holidays in SE Asia, and when I was there, I'd follow their rules. I would just like them to do the same. Stop being so defensive and try to listen to what I am really saying. Everything is not an attack.



    47. 147

      Re: tron – prbbly find you to be that too! oops u cant go there!



    48. 148

      she should just cancel. who the fuck needs to perform there? she's beautiful, rich, and talented.



    49. 149

      Re: DukeSteele – Seriously…it is people like you that make others hate us….just ignorant, racist assholes. I never said you didn't meet any, I said that you can't judge an entire race/religious group of people based on a few….and the whole "Muslim friend is another oxymoron" is complete and utter bullshit. I, as a matter of fact…have Muslim friends….as well as Jewish, Mormon, Pagan, Wiccan, Catholic and even a few Christians to spice it all up. Damn, for having a country that apparently has this crazy ass thing called "freedom of religion", it sure seems like we are actually having a lack of that….huh. Crazy. Maybe if assholes like you would stop being so racist and ignorant and maybe open your mind a little (as fucking hippie as that sounds), our country wouldn't be viewed as horribly as it is.

      Re: fuckhaterzz – There were a shit ton of Christian murderers my dear….they were actually the majority of the serial killers….fuck, I think Jack the Ripper was even Christian..ha.

      because Avril is not a SLUT and they always end up performing! it's just publicity
