Beyonce is facing additional backlash from a concert slated to be held in Egypt Friday. According to the Muslim Brotherhood organization, Beyonce will disturb social peace and stability in the region if she is permitted to perform. In a letter to local authorities, the Brotherhood wrote “Why are you encouraging this insolent sex party? You are accused of disturbing social peace and stability, encouraging vice and debauchery.” The letter follows several reported complaints to government officials since the announcement that Beyonce would take the stage in the region was made. News of continued backlash follows a similar response from locals in Malaysia who believed Beyonce’s concert would lead to “unclean behavior”. In the end Beyonce scrapped that show. Not all Egyptians agree with the Muslim Brotherhood’s statement made earlier this week. Ahmed Beltagi, an event organizer, says people are accepting and will salute the “Halo” singer. “We are Muslims too… this will not stop Egypt from hosting an award-winning, first class artist. We should salute her instead of criticising her.”
