[Al Arabiya Latest] Singer Beyonce, who put off a gig in Malaysia following Islamist outrage over her "gyrating moves" and "sexy outfits," was due to perform in Egypt on Friday under tight security, at the Red Sea resort of Port Ghalib. Hamdi Hassan, a lawmaker from the Muslim Brotherhood, has written to the speaker of the house and the interior minister labeling her planned night show a "sex party" and demanding to know why she was allowed to perform.
He said the concert advertisement, in which the comely diva wears a leotard fitted with motorbike handlebars extending from her crotch and a headlight nestled in her cleavage, "threatens social peace and security."
"I do not know who agreed to this sinful, unacceptable advertisement, or indeed who agreed to these blatant sex parties," Hassan wrote, accusing the government of encouraging "sin and debauchery."
