To the person that made the last post - For one, are you even sure they had called her for a concert or did Beyonce and her team establish this? If Beyonce and her team had done this, they should have been wise enough to do some research that a country, more dominantly filled with Muslim's, would have asked for a more conservative approach.

If the situation were vise versa, where Kuala Lumpur had invited her and later stated the standards in which they wanted her to conform to, it was also their fault to invite her in the first place.

In my opinion, Beyonce could have accepted since one night of conservative clothing wouldn't have hurt, but that's not her style and in total, does not suit the sort of music she sings - so she did the right thing for everyone by not going to Malaysia.

I think both sides are to blame. Beyonce + Malaysia = Not a good mix. Kuala Lumpur shouldn't have been on her concert listing at all.

For all those blaming Kuala Lumpur for not being open minded enough and asking for supposed 'absurd' standards - you guys commenting here are the ones who are narrow minded and interestingly enough, hypocritical at the least.

They are an entirely different country to the one you live in, they have their own legislation and rules that they have to conform to themselves. Stop thinking that every country has to be like your own. The Muslim's that live in your area and every other western country, conform to YOUR countries standards, whilst carrying their Islamic duties at home and in privacy. I haven't seen any Muslim complain as much as westerner's do and this is plain hypocrisy.

My hat goes out to Kuala Lumpur, as well as Beyonce for declining their offer. They both resolved it, so get over it.

Cheers,
Excuse the essay.
