Beyonce cancels Malaysian concert after Islamist pressure...

Beyonce Knowles's concert planned for Oct. 25 at a Kuala Lumpur stadium has been postponed to an unnknown date, "to be announced shortly" following accusations by Islamic conservatives that the show would be immoral.

The R&B star, Knowles, is known for her provocative clothes and choreography, what has probably become the reason of the concert's delay , though a Malaysian entertainment company Marctensia said in a statement, that "the postponement is solely (the) decision of the artist and has nothing to do with other external reasons."

The more evident reason is the criticism , from the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, the country's largest opposition group, that Beyonce Knowles has been the object for the supposed promoting of "Western sexy performances." More...
