Berita-berita yang
lagi ngebuming di seluruh jagat indonesia salah satunya dengan gagalnya konser
lady Gaga di Indonesia yang rencananya akan digelar pada tanggal 3 juni
mendatang, kira2 kenapa ya? Nih berita yang saya dapat dari beberapa sumber.
Pop superstar Lady Gaga’s
upcoming Jakarta concert should be canceled the Jakarta Police said on Sunday,
citing a flurry of objections from Indonesia’s Islamic organisations ranging
from issues with the US pop star’s provocative outfits to allegations of devil
worship.
Lady Gaga’s sold-out Jakarta
concert is scheduled for June 3, but police have yet to decide whether
Indonesia’s 40,000 ticket-holders will be able to see Lady Gaga perform. The
planned concert has attracted the ire of hard-line Islamists the Islamic
Defenders Front (FPI), who called Lady Gaga to the devil during rallies and
warned that her concert will degrade the nation’s sense of morality.
The Jakarta Police recommended
that the concert be canceled. But, in the end, the decision is out of their
hands.
“The concert permit is issued by
the National Police,” Jakarta Police spokesman Rikwanto said, “but the Jakarta
Police doesn’t recommend the concert be held.”
The National Police are still
undecided whether to allow Lady Gaga to perform in Jakarta.
“We’re still discussing it,”
National Police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar told Beritasatu.com. “The concert is
slated for June, so we haven’t made a decision. We’ll announce whether or not
we’ll issue a permit later.”
The Muslim Defenders Team urged
the police to cancel the concert to prevent possible conflicts between
Islamists and Lady Gaga fans.
“We ask the National Police to
take into consideration the public’s opposition to Lady Gaga’s concert,” said
M. Mahendradatta, board chair for the Muslim Defenders Team – an organisation
known for representing hard-line Islamists and alleged terrorists.
Mahendradatta said that the pop
diva promotes devil worship and that her concert will corrupt the moral
sensibilities of young Indonesians.
“Whether you like it or not, Lady
Gaga teaches [fans] to worship the devil,” he said. “That goes against the
teachings of any religion. We don’t approve of that.”
The Muslim Defenders Team,
Mahendradatta said, are not trying to pressure police into canceling the
concert.
“There is no pressure, just a
consideration to prevent conflicts,” he said.
But the FPI have taken a harder
stance on the pop star’s Jakarta concert and threatened to mobilise 30,000
protesters to stop Lady Gaga from entering the country.
“We will stop her from setting foot on our
land. She had better not dare spread her satanic faith in this country,” FPI
Jakarta chair Salim Alatas told AFP. “Her style is vulgar, her sexual and indecent
clothes will destroy our children’s sense of morality. She’s very dangerous.”
FPI’s leader Rizieq Syihab
furthered the devil worshiping claims, adding that the singer was planning to
build Lucifer’s kingdom in Indonesia.
“If she performed, I will send
Muslims in Jakarta to stop the concert,” he said in Temanggung.
The pop star’s “Born This Way”
Asian tour has drawn protest from religious conservatives in South Korea, the
Philippines and Indonesia.
