Erykah Badu concert banned


It is interesting that Erykah Badu is banned from performing in Malaysia but there is no such action in Indonesia where she is slated to perform at the Java Jazz Festival. Indonesia is acknowledged as the world's most populous Muslim country. I guess the Indonesians do not follow to the letter the tenets of Islam compared to the Malaysian Muslims.

A few years ago Beyonce postponed her concert in Kuala Lumpur, effectively a nod to an unspoken ban on her performance but she continued with her tour in Jakarta. Indonesiaan Muslims' faith must have been shaken to the core from these artistes continuos onslought on them. Fortunately, the Malaysian Muslims have all the Islamic agencies and parties, working hard to save the faithfull from plunging into hell.

This latest episode definitely confirms that Malaysian Muslims are a priviledged lot. Shall we assume that there is a guaranteed place for them as they have been well protected from all the “evils” present in this world?
