"Sinful" dancing insults Islam

"Indonesian songstress Inul Daratista will face more controversy when she performs at Stadium Bukit Jalil here on Sunday, just 10 days after the contentious cancellation of her concert in Johor Baru.

This is because members of Pas Youth are planning to disseminate 10,000 flyers which state that the concert is not in line with Islamic values and those watching it are committing a sin.

Federal Territory Pas Youth chief Kamaruzaman Mohamad said this yesterday at the City Hall headquarters in Jalan Raja Laut.

Earlier, he had presented a memorandum to Kuala Lumpur Mayor Abdul Hakim Borhan to cancel the concert this weekend.

Kamaruzaman and four other Pas Youth members presented the memorandum to the mayor's special officer, Shaari Ahmad Junid, who accepted it on behalf of the mayor.
On Pas Youth's reason for going all-out to protest Inul's concert, Kamaruzaman said:

"Have you seen her in action? Just go to the YouTube website and type her name and you will see that her shows are quite obscene. Even I can't bear watching her."

He said her concerts were known to make the crowd go "wild sexually" and that this could lead to social problems.

"Once they go wild, some will resort to sex by the roadside. So it's best that her concert does not go on," he said.

He added that City Hall must stop her concert as it did not adhere to rulings by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim).

"In Indonesia, although Inul is now known as 'Hajjah' (having performed the Haj), she has also been labelled an obscene dancer by the Indonesian Ulama Council. So what more can I say?"

When asked to comment on the perception of Pas Youth as being "Taliban-like and orthodox" in opposing concerts such as Inul's, Gwen Stefani's and Beyonce's, he said the party had a valid reason for doing so.

"In Islam, you cannot just watch others committing sin.

"As long as you are able, you should let those committing sin know that what they are doing is wrong and if possible, stop them from doing so," said Kamaruzaman."

  • Looks like a case of a minority trying to control a majority on religious grounds. People using the 'divine' to give their words more weight is just sad. Oh so sad.

  • "Quick, advert your eyes, shes moving her hips." The irrationality of this mentality is that the reactions of those who watch are not at fault. The one who is performing the act is responsible for everyone else's actions. This is a complete disregard of responsibility. "I didn't want to rape her but she was moving her hips in such a seductive way that she was asking for it." What the hell?

  • Well she's wearing enough clothes!!!

    In America she'd be unpopular for not showing enough skin..
    She's very pretty though : )

    She's wearing waaaay to much clothes, I think, for someone to become sexually aroused

    I'm not a man though.. and all men are crazy.. So i wouldn't know.
