A picture of Erykah Badu with the word Allah written on her bare shoulders has touched off a firestorm in Muslim-majority Malaysia...
Erykah Badu was supposed to perform in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday but the concert was abruptly canceled on order of the Communications and Culture Minister,
"With the graphic exhibition of "Allah" on the body of the singer, it is sufficient to warrant irrefutable religious controversies from among Muslims who disdain such practice. The committee's decision to disallow the entertainer to perform publicly is in our view justified."
