Indonesia - Lady Gaga warned not to wear provocative outfits offending Muslims.



Indonesia - Lady Gaga warned not to wear provocative outfits offending Muslims.(Telegraph). Lady Gagahas been warned about her provocative outfits ahead of her tour of Indonesia in June. The multi-million-selling artist, who is on a 110-date world tour to promote her album Born This Way Ball, is currently in South Korea. Indonesia is the world's biggest Muslim nation and Islamic leaders have said her risque outfits will not be tolerated. "I call on Lady Gaga to respect our cultural and traditional values. Most people here are Muslims and we cannot tolerate her revealing outfits and sexy performances," the Indonesia Ulema Council leader Amidhan told AFP. "It's better for Lady Gaga to cancel her show in this country if she has no willingness to respect our demand. Please do not destroy our nation's morality and ruin our dignity.".
Lady Gaga - Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta - has courted controversy for appearing clad in outfits made of raw meat or on high heels. Big Daddy, the promoters for the concert in Jakarta, said tickets began selling in early March and were sold out within two weeks. "We have informed Lady Gaga's management (about these concerns), and they said that they will respect the country where she will perform", said Hanny Marpaung, corporate secretary for Big Daddy. But he added "we still don't have any clue" about what she will wear. In the Philippines, a youth organisation urged people to stay away from Gaga's May 21 concert, saying it poses a threat to moral values in Asia's largest Catholic nation. Laurence Pintero, head of the Manila-based Youth for Christ, criticised the government for allowing the concert to take place. "If the government thinks she is a threat, first and foremost they should stop it," he said. "I think we should be bold. We discourage (people from) attending her concert." A member of Indonesia's highest Islamic authority has said Muslims should stay away from an upcoming concert by American pop star Lady Gaga, who he said aimed to undermine the values of the world's largest Muslim country. "(The concert is) intended to destroy the nation's morality," said Indonesian Council of Ulema chairman Cholil Ridwan. Cholil said Lady Gaga's sexy manner of dressing and dance should be considered "un-Islamic". "She's from the West, and she often shows her private parts while performing," he said. He, however, added that he had never watched the singer perform and only heard of her "reputation" second-hand.Hmmmm......Dress decently like Indonesian actrice Rahma Azhari.Read the full story here.
