Lady Gaga: Banned in Indonesia!
Lady Gaga, who was scheduled to perform in Jakarta this month, was banned by the nation following protests from hardline Islamic critics against her controversial persona and racy getups.
The Islamic Defenders Front trashed the global pop superstar for her “Satanic lyrics” that threaten to “destroy the children’s sense of morality.”
Other protesters even vowed to physically block the singer from setting foot on Indonesian soil if the show wasn’t cancelled.
Local law enforcement reportedly requested that the permit be denied after fearing that officers wouldn’t able to contain a massive on-site protest.Earlier this spring, Gaga’s tour drew protests from South Korean Christian groups decrying that her “pornographic” performances promoted homosexuality.
