<p><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/beyonce" target="_self"> <div id="attachment_6590" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 187px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6590" title="Beyonce" src="http://www.gossipcop.com/wp-content/uploads/Beyonce4-177x300.jpg" alt="(GettyImages.com)" width="177" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">(GettyImages.com)</p></div></a></p>
<p><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/beyonce" target="_self">Beyonce</a>, who cancelled a performance in Malaysia two years ago amidst protests by Islamic groups over her sexually provocative outfits and demeanor, was <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/beyonce-to-perform-in-malaysian-despite-past-threats-of-protests/" target="_blank">slated to hit the stage</a> at a Kuala Lumpur stadium on October 25, but once again she will not be performing in the mostly Muslim nation.</p>
<p>Officially, concert organizers are saying the concert is being “<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091019/ap_en_ce/as_malaysia_people_beyonce;_ylt=AvZxUoMW4vgu.pVzm7zCseJX24cA;_ylu=X3oDMTMwNnVyZzdnBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMDkxMDE5L2FzX21hbGF5c2lhX3Blb3BsZV9iZXlvbmNlBHBvcwM0BHNlYwN5bl9wYWdpbmF0ZV9zdW1tYXJ5X2xpc3QEc2xrA2JleW9uY2VkZWxheQ--" target="_blank">postponed</a>,” and was “solely [the] decision of the artist and has nothing to do with other external reasons.”</p>
<p>However, there was a lot of external pressure, especially from the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, which had voiced its disproval a month ago when it stated, “We are not against entertainment as long as it is within the framework of our culture and our religion… We are against Western sexy performances.”</p>
<p>In the past, Western performers like <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/avril-lavigne" target="_self">Avril Lavigne </a>and <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/gwen-stefani" target="_self">Gwen Stefani</a> have covered up their bodies, so as not to offend the nation’s Muslim majority.</p>
<p><strong>Gossip Cop</strong> is not holding its breath over a rescheduled concert date.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[It was just two years that Beyonce bailed on a performance in Malaysia, where Islamic protesters threatened to disrupt a scheduled concert because of her sexually provocative outfits and demeanor. Well, this time she's standing fierce, and has added a performance there. What is she to expect?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4634" title="Beyonce Knowles" src="http://www.gossipcop.com/wp-content/uploads/BeyonceKnoles-199x300.jpg" alt="Beyonce Knowles" width="199" height="300" />It was just two years that <strong>Beyonce</strong> bailed on a concert in Malaysia, where Islamic protesters threatened to disrupt a scheduled performance because of her sexually provocative outfits and demeanor.</p>
<p>Well, this time around, even though there’s already anger from some Muslims, Beyonce is standing fierce and will take to the stage on October 25 in Malaysia’s biggest city, Kuala Lumpur for her &#8216;I Am&#8217; world tour. In the past, Western performers like Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani have covered up their bodies, so as not to offend the nation’s Muslim majority.</p>
<p>Sabki Yusof of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, said, according to the <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090920/ap_en_mu/as_people_beyonce;_ylt=AkEx11Z4iS7X.hKprpuCpYxX24cA;_ylu=X3oDMTJuZzY1bWtnBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMDkwOTIwL2FzX3Blb3BsZV9iZXlvbmNlBHBvcwM5BHNlYwN5bl9wYWdpbmF0ZV9zdW1tYXJ5X2xpc3QEc2xrA2JleW9uY2V0b3Blcg--" target="_blank">Associated Press</a>, &#8220;We are not against entertainment as long as it is within the framework of our culture and our religion… We are against Western sexy performances. We don&#8217;t think our people need that.&#8221; The group has no plans, as of now, to impede her performance.</p>
