Lady Gaga banned in Indonesia

60,000 tickets sold for the pure and the controversial singer may not conclude the concert that was scheduled in Jakarta on 3 June after Indonesian Islamic radicals show their opposition to the show for "representing the faith of Satan," said official media today.

The Indonesian police spokesman, Boy Rafli, announced today that they have been denied the artist permission to hold their show in Indonesia, in his world tour "Born this way".

Police have taken this decision after extremist Islamic groups in the Asian country criticasen the dress and the "provocation" that represents the American diva.

Some politicians have shown against the decision, because "if you dare to cancel concerts with a liberal capitalist ideology as Lady Gaga, should also be firm against the demonstration of ideologies in the Middle East," said Ahmad Basah, member of the legal affairs Committee of Parliament. Basah these statements criticized the influence they have on the country's most radical Islamic groups, although the majority of Indonesians are moderate Muslims.

The Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), a radical Indonesia, announced last week that its members were planning to go to Jakarta International Airport when he got the singer to stop acting in the capital.

In the event that the first tactic fails, they advanced to infiltrate among the spectators of the concert to drive them away.

Some 60,000 tickets have been sold for the concert Lady Gaga was going to offer in the Bung Karno stadium in Jakarta, the largest by capacity of their Asian tour.
