Pop star Lady Gaga has
been refused a permit to perform in the Indonesian capital next month
over security concerns after Islamic groups voiced strong objections to
her "vulgar" style.
Three Islamic groups have expressed their opposition to the concert on June 3, demanding it be stopped.
Indonesia, a nation of 240 million people,, has the world's largest population of Muslims as well as significant minorities of Christians, Buddhists and Hindus.
"She's a vulgar singer who wears only panties and a bra when she
sings and she stated she is the envoy of the devil's child and that she
will spread satanic teaching," said Salim Alatas, the Jakarta head of hardline Islamic Defender Front (FPI).
"This is dangerous."
More than 30,000 concert tickets from a total of 40,000 tickets had been
sold, said the Jakarta Post newspaper. It was supposed to be the
biggest show on Lady Gaga's Asian tour, with fans snapping up every seat
in Jakarta's 52,000-seat Gelora Bung Karno stadium , half of them in
the first two hours of sales.
Permits usually are issued about three weeks before a concert in
Jakarta, so it is common to sell tickets well ahead of receiving the
permit. It was not immediately clear if the ticket sales would be
refunded .Lady Gaga's Asian tour started late last month and many of the
stops have sold out.
