Lady Gaga Isn't Allowed to Perform in Indonesia: Fair or Foul?

She's a bad influence on young people.

Even if it were for her safety still religion shouldn't be part of it. Religion is just like a hobby it's not permanent you can always change beliefs if you're not comfortable with what you get, or just don't go religious at all because you have a life. But This is what disturbs me why let her sing in stage for a world tour concert rather than allow people be? I mean us human beings have a life we shouldn't be restrictive towards what we believe in all the time there's gotta be fun and freedom besides religion itself. *My Opinion*

Your mom.

She is so wired and way to exposed all the time... Not a good example for the young generation... Looking at her, kardasians, the new generation is becoming more addicted to porns.

What's unfair is that I have to see her antics on the tube DAILY. WTF? She ain't all that.

I believe that it is fair: not only are they doing it for her own safety but some of her songs such as 'Judas' could be considered offensive in a religious context. It is understandable that some people don't want her to perform, though I personally think that they should just realise that she doesn't sing 'Judas' with any intent to offend, merely to entertain. They should not take offence and just let her do whatever she wants, however some people can't keep their own beliefs to themselves and have to act in force about whatever it is they consider to be offensive.

Their lost. Thailand concert for this weekend is almost or all ready sold out. My friend is tying to get tickets to her concert.

We have to tolerate it because mindless teenagers keep patronizing her antics. Maybe Indonesians are just smarter than us and nipped it in the butt.

but I understand if it's for her own safety. If some people over there want to see her really badly they can fly over to see her.

She shouldn't be allowed in public

I only checked fair because that's the way that country wants to handle it, so that's fair. I don't necessarily agree with their opinion but it's not my country and i don't have to live there. Or even visit. Fine with me. I've never seen this Gaga broad before, just read all the hoopla and see the crazy outfits she goes around in, but whoever or whatever she is, I would strongly recommend she take the hint and never try to go over there to Indonesia. Those people are nuts, you know. I doubt that Gaga's security team could protect her from the zealots.

So I really think the practice itself is foul, but since that's the way the majority of the citizenry wants it, then it is fair. Now, I don't recall reading about what percentage of the people were causing all the commotion. If it's not the majority, then I feel sorry for those folks to let a minority push them around. Kinda sounds like some of our PC areas in America, huh?

Their country their laws, none of my or anyone else's business, also Lady Gaga was warned by Filipino authorities to respect the laws of the Philippines or face arrest.

she has a great message. weird=beautiful. be yurself. be anything yu want to be. love ya Stefani!

I clicked foul, but I agree with the, they did it for her safety. And of course to avoid a riot.

She shouldn't perform anywhere . Repent or burn Gaga

They have the largest population of Muslims in the world. Over there it's not radical it's actually just the norm. "infringing of their rights"? For starters, they don't have as many as we do and I don't think that's even a right over here. "The right to view a foreign performer at the risk of people's lives"?
Taking away their religion would be a crime. In America we have the right to practice our religion, so those of you who are insulting them and theirs based on pre-made stereotypes is ethnocentric to say the least.
Talk about sanctimonious.

I like her and her music. What's wrong with a little weird? I think normal is pretty boring :P

in our current climate weird is normal and normal is weird.

It's foul that the situation is like that, but at least they're looking to head off trouble.

The political and socioeconomic situation in Indonesia at the moment is a mess in general. We don't need it getting even worse by letting the Judean Peoples' Front kidnap Pilate's wife.

I love her music, I am NOT so fond of her politics.
who'd a thunk it huh? 8-)
I completely understand the denial as presented.
It might cost the world some half decent talent and another "OH SHI"ITE" political bombshell.

boooo

It's pretty understandable.

I think it's sad that any government plays the role of parent to its people. It seems a bit backwards.

While I understand the reasoning for the Jakarta Police refusing a permit based on safety reasons due to the potential violence, it is sad they let their religious sector control.

her music is garbage...the rest is history

Can we ban her here?

If the Christian Taliban had control in this country like the are attempting they would ban her performing in the good ol' U.S. of A.

wrong.
I LIKE her music, and yeah i'm a christian.
just not the thumper type.

Please don't confuse the Animals from Westboro Baptist church for Christians, 'we' all pretty much disavow them as hypocrites when we're feeling nice about 'em.

Hey Ron, here is a hypothetical scenario for you.
it's your birthday, and say you wanna have a beer. (assuming your not an abstainer)
Who do you think is going to toss one back with you and say happy birthday?
A Christian?
or a MUSLIM Taliban member?????

no comment...!

Fair, very fair, they know a horses ass when they see one..

She's a weirdo and I don't really care there are alot mor important things o worry about in the world now.

she should be denied a pssport

Her style is not kosher (or shall I say 'halal') with their Islamic laws. She's better off not having to have extra security when terrorists are amuck...

If they can't guarantee her safety, and it would endanger innocent lives, it's for the best. Although caving in to religious fanatics is a bad precedent.

ever been flying lately?
We caved here in the US years ago!
The Terrorists are still in control.
