The hardline Islamic Defenders Front (FPI)
says it will send six members to shoo away fans flocking Lady Gaga’s concert if
the US singer-songwriter goes ahead with plans for the concert in Indonesia.
"Muslims
are ready to close down [the concert]. She has 60,000 people in the audience,
while six will be enough for the FPI. They will disperse,” FPI Jakarta branch
chief Salim Assegaf said Monday as quoted by kompas.com.
The FPI
has taken a stand against what it defines as “skin-revealing” artists coming
into the country, including Lady Gaga.
Salim
advised his members not to come to the concert because doing so would be
counterproductive.
"She's
bringing the faith of Satan to our country, as opposed to progress. She will
destroy the nation’s morals," he said.
He said
he would also deploy FPI members to intercept the singer upon her arrival at
Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in the suburb of Cengkareng, west of
Jakarta.
"You
can be sure about that. We will be dispatching local FPI members especially
from nearby units, such as the FPI Tangerang and the FPI Banten," Salim
said.
The
singer is scheduled to perform in Jakarta as part of her “Born This Way World
Tour” on June 3 at Glora Bung Karno’s main stadium in Senayan, Central Jakarta.
