JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Lady Gaga canceled her sold-out show in Indonesia after Islamist hard-liners threatened violence, claiming her sexy clothes and provocative dance moves would corrupt the youth.
The controversy was a blow to the predominantly Muslim country's reputation for combining free speech and democracy with a mostly moderate brand of the faith.
Fans were devastated, despite the promoter's offer of full refunds. Some accused police — who refused to issue a permit over concerns about security — of buckling to the will of a small group of thugs.

I object to the usage of the term "rag head" to refer to Muslims. If anyone uses it that way I assume that they're as unintelligent as the people who just outright state that Muslims wear turbans.

Prince Harry. He's just like me and you really. He uses words like "paki" and "raghead".
Wonder if he's got any good Diana jokes!

I strongly doubt that FUD will allow these transgressions to remain unpunished.

The Qur'an: ". . . Do not take life, which Allah has made sacred, except through justice and the law. He orders this so that you may acquire wisdom" (6:151) and, "Do not take life, which Allah has made sacred.
Rag Heads read the Our'an yet do not understand one word printed between the front and back covers.

Lies. She would never bow to such threats. Lady Gaga is a true artist with an unshakeable commitment to freedom of expression. If this were true, she'd just be some stupid whore in a weird costume.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm.
I've been kicked around since I was born.
And now it's all right, it's O.K.
And you may look the other way.

You know it's all right, it's O.K.
I'll live to see another day.

At first, I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking, I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights thinking, how you did me wrong And I grew strong and I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go, walk out the door, just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one, who tried to hurt me with goodbye? Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry but now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free But now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
Go on now, go, walk out the door, just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one, who tried to break me with goodbye Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give And I'll survive, I will survive, oh

Who badly needed to pee

But pissed on his shoe
And got stung on his dick by a bee

She even offered to do the show "SOLO" Her and just her Piano. Death threats were not a problem for her re Her - Then after she made the offer the Rag Heads threatened to kill audience attendees. So that ended her attempt to carry on with "the show must go on"

God aka Alla. Rag Heads prayed, asking God to give them guidance, into the WTC towers on 9-11. Non Rag Heads prayed for the opposite.
Conclusion or confusion?
