National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students Urges Ban On Gwen Stefani Concert

Malaysia should pull the plug on the Kuala Lumpur leg of U.S. singer Gwen Stefani's upcoming Asian tour because of her indecent dressing and obscenity, a Muslim students' group said on Tuesday.

The 10,000-strong National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students said Stefani's August 21 concert, which is part of her 'Sweet Escape' tour, would clash with local Asian and Islamic values.


"Her video clips promoting the event are too obscene," Mohamad Hilmi Ramli, the group's president, told Reuters. "We want the organizers to cancel the concert, failing which we will ask the authorities to intervene."


Ethnic Malays, who are by definition Muslims, make up just over half of Malaysia's 26 million people. Ethnic Chinese and Indians, who are mostly Buddhists, Christians or Hindus, form sizeable minorities.

Hilmi also criticized Malaysian mobile phone firm Maxis Communications for promoting the concert.
"Maxis has been staging a series of foreign acts ... to make a profit and to expose our young generation to things such as moral decay," he said.

Maxis officials could not be immediately reached for comment.

***** Ban Evan Almighty. Ban Gwen Stefani. Ban Gobloks. Ban, ban, ban. Malaysia Boleh!!

Stop using "Asian Values" as an excuse.

It's the "Islamic views" that do not allow obscenity and such. So these ppl need to stop pulling Asia into the picture.

I am furious with these egoistical statements that these kind of people make nowadays.

where is the tolerance in our society?

then again, should we be surprised when these people can't even debate properly? can't even discuss any issue intelligently? i blame our education system for this shame.

the whole world is moving forward while these jokers are sliding back. my message to you is, 'if you want to slide backwards, go ahead. we choose to go forward !'

When Christians wish to hold a gathering, say at the Stadium Negara, they will always advertise with the notice "This is only meant for non-Muslim". So why can't they do the same as in the case of Gwen Stefani concert. I am not a fan of this singer but I still think these NUMMS blokes are nothing more than one big group of SELFISH people. So when they can't get to enjoy a show, they have to deprive others from doing so.

MALAYSIA BOLEH... BAN!!!! Unfortunately, moral decay is already happening among the Muslims more and more these days. I believe that Islam teaches alot about the purity of the mind as do the Christians. So if they are so pure in thought... why would they be afraid of this "obscenely" dressed woman? This "obscenity" is seen everyday on television. MTV and Juice shows it everyday on Astro. So what are they going to do about it? Ban Astro? Ban foreign TV programmes from coming into Malaysia and only broadcast Malay programmes? The TV industry in Malaysia will fall within 5 years.

It's infuriating when stupid people make laws.

That's it! Anything they disliked they will silenced it, banned it or stopped it by all means. If you elect these future leaders into office, Malaysia is doomed.

half of the population may be muslims but wat abt the other half?

rather than making such a fuss over gwen, they could use their energy in opening up a soup kitchen for the homeless or something.

If these jokers are serious about moral decay, take a stand on the rampant coruption within the gov.

For that matter, the religious ulamas had already issued a fatwa that smoking is HARAM. How many in the National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students are smokers?

Taliban killing S.Korean hostages?
Morally right?

A bunch of F%@#ing hypocrites!!!

I don't like Gwen Stefani...BUT I think she should cancel her show. Not because it might offend a bunch of Muslims, but because they offend US with their hypocritical and barbaric lifestyle. -USAPatriot
