Lady Gaga's concert in Indonesia was supposed to be the biggest stop on her tour of Asia, but conservative Muslims have been trying to stop the performance citing fears that the sexy show will corrupt the nation's youth. Some hardliners have gone as far as to threaten violence if the show goes off as scheduled. Gaga has hinted that she may perform without her normal compliment of dancers and musicians for their safety.

    Lady Gaga can make a statement against Islamic fascism without jeopardizing herself or her team. Lady Gaga should instead put on a performance in Israel and criticize Indonesia's Islamic leaders from the free Jewish nation.

    It's clear these idiots will blow themselves up in order hasten their trip to where ever idiots blow themselves up go why tempt fate. Cancel the show and let them chant and live in the 15th century.

    Before the show, she should go on nationwide TV and announce: "Its either suicide bombing and 72 of your own virgins, or a full, happy and complete life if you attend my concert!" Attendence will soar!

    There's an old saying that says, "You can't fight City Hall!" What happens when an entire country is pretty much City Hall? Not worth being arrested by religious extremists. indonesia muslims

    Good selection, however there is not really good choice. The Muslims will do anything to disrupt something they feel is against the koran. If she does the full show she puts the audience and the dancers in danger. The other two choices give in to the Muslim protests.

    They are becoming the scurge of the earth.

    Maybe it is I and many others are becoming more aware of how deep their hatred of non Muslim's run. I spent time in Turkey in the late 50's, there did not seem to be a hatred of Christians from my perspective.

    These are dangerous people, not to be toyed with. Even if she doesn't get killed or harmed, they can and do take it out on others.

    The way the Muslims over there do it is they kill everyone involved. If they don't like her show, they blow the concert up. That kills innocent kids and fans. I think she's best off to come back here and keep Indonesia in the spotlight until they can assure the safety of all who attend her show.

    Nobody stands up to Islamic hard-liners except the very people she despises.

    I want a lawn chair and pop corn to enjoy the fight between leftists and jihadis.

    It's not the Muslims I worry about...it's the jihadis that seem to dominate most Muslim societies that you have to look out for.

    Depends on the country! I assure you GaGa is not heard or seen much in Yemen or Somalia! And they are not downloading her latest in the Sudan!

    Remember when they got rid of the taliban in fghanistan? Within 24 hours there were satellite dishes, MTV, and porn readily available and open for anyone to see or purchase.

    Last time I heard the government didn't want her there either. Indonesia is an independent country and they can do what they want in THEIR country. You wouldn't like others telling you what to do in your country. Well it goes both ways. Personally I can't stand her.

    Funny thing about Muslim hard liners. They don't debate with those that don't agree with them, they just KILL them ! So by all means, go for it with your full show ! That is of course if you don't mind becoming the first martyr of music !

    I cannot decide matters of her safety. That's for her to decide.

    But I don't approve of religious authorities threatening death to people for anything short murder. Lady Gaga never murdered anyone. Neither did any member of her entourage, or anyone who attended one of her concerts.

    I wouldn't go to one of her concerts. But I will defend such a concert, at need.

    Umm, Israel is not really close to Indonesia, so I'm not sure that makes sense as an alternative.
