Islamists say rock concert is 'immoral'
This is from the 'You've got to be kidding' department. No mention or condemnation of terrorist acts, but the concert would encourage hedonism and moral degradation especially among youths.....
KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian Islamists are planning to protest at a concert by the German rock band Scorpions because it is "immoral and un-Islamic", say officials.
"We will be distributing pamphlets to the concert-goers, advising them to avoid social ills, not to participate in drugs and other activities," Islamic Party (PAS) youth chief Salahuddin Ayub says.
In a letter to the government the youth wing of the opposition party said the concert was an "insult" to Malaysian Muslims because it would be held just a day after an Islamic religious event, Isra' Mikhraj.
PAS had called for the concert's immediate cancellation and urged the government to apologise to Muslims, who make up some 60% of Malaysia's 25 million population.
"Such concerts would encourage hedonism and moral degradation especially among youths," Salahuddin said.

Hedonism? Possibly. Moral degradation? Maybe.
Remember Yusaf Islam? He gave up a pretty good career as a singer when he converted to Islam. Supposedly music is forbidden unless it's some turd in a minaret shouting Allhu Akbar!
Oh, yeah - Yusaf? You remember that he used to be known as Cat Stevens? He's been rejected several times by the Israeli Government when he's attempted to get in the country. Apparently he has quite a record of financing Hamas and Hezboallah.
