Looks like Sasha Fierce is maybe a little too fierce for some countries.
Beyoncé has indefinitely postponed an upcoming tour stop in Malaysia following protests by the country's Pan Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) who claim that her revealing costumes and booty-licious dance moves are immoral, reports the Daily Mail.
"We are not against entertainment, but it's the way she performs -- her gyrating moves on stage and her sexy outfits," PAS youth chief Nasruddin Hassan Tantawi told the paper.
"It will erode the moral values of our young people."
This is the second time the singer has fallen afoul of the PAS youth wing, according to the paper; she canceled a concert in 2007 under similar circumstances, though organizers have denied that protests motivated the decision to cancel.
And it's not just Beyoncé whose provocative performances have been targeted.
According to The Daily Express, Muslim citizens were temporarily banned from attending a Black Eyed Peas concert last month because it was sponsored by Guinness.
The ban was eventually lifted, but singer Fergie opted to perform in conservative jeans and a T-shirt rather than her standard skin-baring ensembles, according to the paper.
So, will Beyoncé stick to her "Independent Women" guns, or will she try to pull off that "Single Ladies" routine in a sweat suit? Stay tuned!
If Malaysia thinks Beyoncé's concert costumes are naughty, they're really not going to like the racy red frock she rocked at the VMAs.

I was lucky enough to never have been overweight in my life. That all ended after the birth of my second child. I got down to 20 pounds over my normal weight but no matter what I did I couldn't lose the rest. I didn't know if was age catching up with me or if somehow my metabolism changed. Whatever the reason, nothing was working. I tried all the bogus "diet" pills that we see all over the internet, but are just scams. All I ever lost with that stuff was money. One of my friends, knowing what I was going through, told me that she had been losing weight using a special plan that she found at this web site Http://bit.ly/FatLoss4You It laid out the facts in a way I never saw before and had easy to follow meal plans and diets. Not only have I lost the weight and kept it off but I'm leading a healthier lifestyle, mostly from the knowledge I gained from this amazing program.
