At a rally calling for Lady Gaga to cancel her shows in Manila next week, about 70 Christian youths in the Philippines chanted "Stop the Lady Gaga concerts".
On Friday, members of the group called Biblemode Youth Philippines said that they are offended by Lady Gaga's music and videos. They say that she mocks Jesus Christ in her song "Judas", reported the Associated Press.
Ben Abante, former Philippine Congressman, led the protest, saying his group will file a case against the singer as well as concert organisers if she sings Judas next week.
For offending race and religion, the singer and organisers can be punished, added Former Manila Mayor Jose Atienza.
Prior to this, Lady Gaga had cancelled a concert in Jakarta following protests from conservative Muslims.
Indonesian Police May Cancel ‘Satanic’ Lady Gaga Concert
Indonesian police on Tuesday moved to cancel Lady Gaga’s sold-out June 3 show in Jakarta by denying a crucial concert permit. “The National Police said verbally that [the concert] would not be permitted,” police spokesman Rikwanto told the Jakarta Globe. The decision came after protest groups, including the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), assembled on the streets of the capital to denounce the “dangerous” singer, warning that her “satanic lyrics” could “destroy the children’s sense of morality.”
Funny how they think that one concert can destroy and undo the values of our faith.
