The religious hypocrites in PAS have strike again. This time, and again, calling for a ban of Beyonce concert which is scheduled to be held on 25th October.

The Pan-Malaysian Islamic party (PAS) has campaigned against several foreign performers and in 2007, along with other Muslim groups,threatened protests that forced Beyonce to scrap her planned debut concert in Malaysia.

'We oppose the holding of such concerts and we will take action to prevent such a concert from taking place in Malaysia,' PAS youth chief Nasrudin Tantawi told AFP, without specifying what action would betaken.

This performance is not suitable for Muslims as her skimpy attire and behaviour onstage are immoral and lead to unclean behaviour,' he said.

The party might as well set up a new unit to be called, the "Anti-Concert Squad". If this concert is not suitable for Muslims, the party should advise them not to attend it instead of calling for a ban.

What about my non-Muslim right and acceptance of Beyonce's performance and music?

Are Muslims that spiritually and morally weak that they could be 'influenced' to commit something immoral by just looking at a few artistes performing in skimpy outfit?

If yes, then the party should first call for a total ban of the Internet. A lot of uncensored stuff can be found on the Internet and most of them can be accessed much cheaper than going for the Beyonce concert.
