'Obscene' Gwen angers Muslims 01/08/2007 13:21 - (SA)
Los Angeles - Gwen Stefani could be forced to cancel her Malaysian show after a Muslim group branded her "indecent" and "obscene".
The singer, who is currently on the road with her Sweet Escape tour, is due to perform in Kuala Lumpur next month but the National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students want the concert scrapped because Gwen's image offends Islamic beliefs.
Mohamad Hilmi Ramli said: "Her video clips promoting the event are too obscene. We want the organisers to cancel the concert, failing which we will ask the authorities to intervene."
Ramli also slammed Malaysian cellphone company Maxis Communications for promoting Gwen's concert and exposing young Malaysians to "moral decay".
He fumed: "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."
Gwen's Kuala Lumpur show is due to take place at the Stadium Putra on August 21.
The singer will also perform in Australia, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, China and Hawaii before taking her tour to Europe. - Bang Showbiz.com
Everything offends their “beliefs”.

Good thing those Italians never complained when Madonna toured! /s
Maybe if Gwen Stefani mocked Islam directly. Of course THAT would get her killed. MUCH safer for Madonna to mock Christianity with a fake crucification. Such an artist! /sarc
She can come to our kegger next week and “offend” us.
Hmm...so, don’t go to the concert? No one is forcing these idiots to betray their religion, they seem to have a way of poking their religions nose into everything and then bitch,whine and moan.
Yes, she does have a way with stirring those prurient interests...
Oh, and I betcha the muslims would have no problem with GWAR; right up their alley..Book them instead muzzies..

This thread is useless without photos!
Actually, IMHO, Gwen Stephani is extremely beautiful, especially when she’s NOT wearing outrageous makeup and “fashions.” I’ve seen photos of her from before No Doubt really hit it big, and she’s really got a natural beauty.
She’s also got a wonderful voice, when she doesn’t try to be a “vocal stylist.”
JMHO, but it seems that she’s often just trying to be outrageous.

Of course, the murder of innocents and beheadings are NOT considered obscene by these pigs.
Keep up the good work, Gwen.
That’s one of the problems with them. They believe the entire world has to live according to their laws & standards. That’s the problem with religion in general-the idea that it has to be inflicted upon everyone whether the people like it or not. The idea of just leaving people alone who have different beliefs doesn’t exist in their sesame seed size minds.
