Question Religion You Say

You see now this really pisses me off, I'm not a Lady Gaga fan but I have nothing against her or what she gets up to but this is just typical.

BBC News - Lady Gaga 'devastated' as Indonesia concert cancelled

Lady Gaga warned about offending Muslims during world tour - Telegraph

Lady Gaga Warned about Offending Indonesian Muslims - Bulletin Of The Oppression Of Women in Islam

So certain Muslim people in Indonesia think they are religious, they are doing nothing wrong the way they are and Lady Gaga is the 'infidel' much like the rest of the West (usually).

Hypocrites is all I can say here, completely hypocritical nonsense and even though it has nothing to do with me its just really annoying to read it.

So what religion favours violence against your fellow man (generally these days), the religious cleric's or whoever want to protect their way of life and culture by banning an over the top singer and if they don't get their way they will resort to violence!? Is that the religious way of the Muslim faith then?

Surely anyone would think THEY are the infidels for threatening that kind of behaviour against innocent people?

Surely THAT kind of behaviour is 'the devils work' and not just some female in tight revealing outfits.

The funny thing is the show sold out in 2weeks it seems so there are apparently plenty of infidels in Indonesia who want to see the 'devils messenger' perform. Yet because of some idiots many people have to be disappointed, the religious (extremists? can I use that term here? seems so doesn't it) few spoil it for everyone as officials bow down to their demands. I never knew Indonesia was run by a religious dictatorship.

On another note, despite all this its perfectly fine for the same country to make and show a violent film like 'The Raid'! So that isn't the devils work and blasphemous and sinful and the destroyer of morals blah blah blah....

What a load of complete tosh, if your offended then don't watch, simple really and maybe you could respect other cultures also for once huh.

Of the many MANY Muslims in the world, there are a minority that cause trouble unfortunately and have a twisted vision of what the Qur'an actually says. There are 'worse' acts in Indonesia itself compared to Lady Gaga that are very popular over there, but since Lady Gaga is a 'worldwide' performer and famous it's an easy target to get their messages across.

I wish she would go ahead, but I can't blame her and the concert people for not going through with it after receiving 'threats' if they try to come into the country to perform and also protesters going into the show to cause trouble.

Indonesia might have nearly 90% having their faith in Islam, but compared to other countries, it's actually quite mellow at the moment. It's just the extremists as usual getting their messages and rules out there that have ruined other countries in the world.

Well, all these clerics are fucking nutters. But then so is Ga Ga. Her name says it all. But a concert shouldn't be cancelled because of a few nut jobs/terrorists.

Conversely, if said nutters wanted to come to Britain and preach hate, we'd probably let them in and give them as big a stadium as Ga Ga.

People get easily offended or maybe that's just hardcore religions in itself.

How do you know GaGa isn't the devil? Maybe those people saved your soul by banning her.

In every religion you'll have the extremists who will try to force their opinions and ideas on everyone else, don't hate on muslims because most of them are ok just like most christians, jews etc.
