Lady Gaga May Have to Cancel Concert for ‘Security Reasons’ After Threats from Radical Muslims

The Left might have previously disdained fears of increasingly radicalized Islam as “Islamophobia,” but now that one of their favorite totems – Gay Rights icon Lady Gaga – has been threatened, that “phobia” might not seem so unreasonable anymore.
Some background: GaGa had, until recently, planned to headline a concert in the otherwise moderate Muslim country of Indonesia. That was before sectors the native Muslim population decided to radicalize and carry out violent attacks against anyone who culturally offended them, and that includes fellow Muslims. In fact, the most high profile victim of this radicalized group is none other than lesbian Canadian Muslim author Irshad Manji, who was attacked at a discussion of her book “Allah, Liberty and Love” by mobs of angry Muslim men wielding iron bars.
Manji, who says she was shielded by other female participants at the event, mercifully came out of it with nothing but a bruised wrist. The rest of the venue was not so lucky. The mob reportedly smashed windows, crockery and computers, and tore up copies of Manji’s book, screaming “Where is Manji” all the while. Hardly the sort of behavior expected of civilized human beings.
And according to their leaders, they’re just getting started. The Sydney Morning Herald reports:
The Majelis Mujahidin Council claimed responsibility and other extremists including the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) and Muslim Defenders Team have turned their attention to Lady Gaga.
The head of the front, Habib Rizieq Syihab, said the performer wanted to ”establish the evil Lucifer empire in Indonesia”. He threatened to stop her at Jakarta airport or mobilise 30,000 members to attack her June 3 stadium concert.[...]
Radical groups act with impunity from police, who, rather than enforce Indonesia’s constitutional right of freedom of speech, prefer to cite ”community opposition” and ”security”, and then shut down controversial events. National police spokesman Saud Nasution said Lady Gaga’s concert had so far been denied a permit, on the recommendation of police, even though 40,000 tickets have been sold.
Given that the same radicals involved in this story have called for assassinations of liberal Muslims as a form of “freedom of expression,” and blocked Christian churches from being built using violence and/or outright defiance of the law, the fact that they are targeting a performer as openly progressive and secular as Gaga should be no surprise whatsoever.
Gaga in one of her more conservative outfits
However, despite the pop star’s often highly self-indulgent and sometimes offensive behavior, this is one case where her inclination to offend and push boundaries could be badly needed. So for the sake of Indonesians’ freedom of expression, we hope she shows this particular radical temper tantrum a Poker Face and keeps going.

Posted on May 15, 2012 at 11:05am@rangerp Similar brainless insights were made about Cher last week. So while the infinitely talented and local Ted Nugent’s net worth is 1/30 th. that of Cher and probably will be a similar fraction of Lady Gaga’s ultimate net worth. I’d say they both are notably more talented and significantly more savy than TK and their detractors here.

Posted on May 15, 2012 at 3:02pmI totally agree that she is “skanky” and could use a makeover in a moral way. However, I also agree that she is extremely talented. It is not fair to say she isn’t simply because she is part of a Genre of music that you do not like. If she were to sing morally fulfilling music you would love her. Her song You & I really has some incredible vocals and she is a very good entertainer.
But yes… she could use a good bath… and some new outfits.

Consider this, what region of our country would be the first to see mass beheadings as punishment for their “wicked ways” if we were to suddenly fall under the rule of Islam and Sharia Law? Hollywood, of course, with San Francisco a close second. When will we as a nation of people finally admit to ourselves that the problem the Muslim world has with us is not that we “oppress the world economically” or even that we span the globe with our military might. It’s the culture that we bring with us that they hate,, and that culture is LIBERALISM.. Who that has travled theMiddle EAST and the Muslim world and listen to the common Muslim in the streets of Alexandria or smaller Muslim city can honestly say otherwise?

The truth is a beautiful thing. The true word gives us light. Thank you for sharing these words from the Holy Bible.
Lady Gaga is a sad pathetic person. She is wallowing in her sin and evil she perpetrates upon the youth of the world. I do not blame the Muslims for stopping her filth. Her message is straight from her master, The Prince of This World. We as a society have become blinded to blatant evil entering our homes. Tolerance, multiculteralism, diversity all have caused us to blur the lines between right and wrong, good and bad. These are all lies from The Evil One.
It is our choice who we will listen to. The Truth, or The Liar. Choose.
Dear Father in heaven, help us in America, help those in need throughout the earth. Help us your followers to remain a Holy people, a people set apart. Help us to resist the evil and sin that wishes control over our lives. Your will be done. Amen
