"The controversy over the Black Eyed Peas is the latest in a series of cases that have raised fears Islamic law is on the rise in Malaysia, threatening its secular status." No kidding, really?
Sharia Alert from modern, moderate Malaysia: "Black Eyed Peas perform after ban on Muslims lifted," by Beh Lih Yi for AFP, September 26 (thanks to Maxwell):
KUALA LUMPUR -- US hip-hop band the Black Eyed Peas played in front of a multiracial audience in Malaysia this weekend after a ban on Muslims was lifted, although frontwoman Fergie was forced to cover up.
The event, sponsored by the Guinness brewery, was initally [sic] restricted to non-Muslims, barring the 60 percent of Malaysia's population who are Muslim Malays. But after an outcry the government dropped the ban and said anyone aged over 18 could attend, although alcohol sales at Friday's concert were restricted to areas which signs said were off-limits to Muslims. Malays are not allowed to drink alcohol while the nation's Chinese and Indian minorities are not restricted....
The band's glamorous frontwoman Fergie said however that like other international stars who have come to perform in conservative Malaysia, she was required to leave her sexy outfits behind. "I have had to change my costume for tonight's show but I mean the woman's silhouette is still there, whether it's clothes or not, whether you see skin or you don't, you still know the woman's body," she said. She went on stage in a T-shirt and jeans, an outfit far more modest than that worn by many in the crowd of 5,000 who mostly adopted the event's dress code of "Black Party Chic"....

The reason given for dropping the ban is because it may harm tourism
Fergie's not so fergielicious wrapped up in a black bag.
Secular status? Malaysia bans malay muslims from drinking alcohol and it's referred to as secular?
What a joke. I can only hope the chinese outbreed the Malays and take over Malaysia completely and remodel it into a country like Singapore, which for all its faults is still far better than Malaysia.

What are the chances dumb-asses like fergie would be the first to accept dhimmitude in America? Seriously, her comment about "clothes or not" are "THE SAME" is an excellent example of how these moral relativists are illogical. I don't know about other males on this site but fergie being covered up is not as hot as fergie clothed. She has a butterface. (ie. everything looks good but-her-face.) So if i'm going to pay to see the black-eyed-peas in concert I don't want to see fergie dressed in a burqa let alone a t-shirt and jeans. Though, It is her choice in what she wears it is however others choice to stop coming to see her shows because of her terrible choices. Not to mention, how disgraceful it was that she threw her liberal principles out the window for profit. You can't sell me on sex and then get all conservative on me. The black eyed peas are suppose to be AMERICAN LEFTIST REBELS yet here she is caving into a raising Islamic law. Liberals have no principles to speak of which they actually care about.
This is just more evidence which proves it.
If American told her this she would have a shit fit.
