Beyonce’s sexy attire is getting her in trouble overseas.
The singer, who is known to put on impressive highbrow performances dressed in very little during her concerts and award shows, is being referred to as a worshiper of Satan by Christian and Muslim fundamentalists in Egypt.
According to Afrik.com, Beyonce is scheduled to perform in North Africa at the Red Sea Resort on Friday and fundamentalists have been up in arms about her impending performance. They feel that her scantily clad outfits would not benefit the on looking audience; instead, it will divert people’s attentions away from the business of politics.
Throwing out names such as sinner and being possessed by Satan, Beyonce’s presence in Egypt is being labeled as a way for the country’s government to make their citizens indulge in “sin” to help cover up the crimes they are committing against their people.
The R&B diva’s stage performances make the eyes tweak. Her provocative dance moves and half-naked outfits could easily stir up reaction from ardent religious and modest people, observers have said. Beyonce who once claimed she is religious and goes to church was quickly slammed by an online Christian group, Jesus-is-saviour.com, “Beyonce is NO Christian. She is satanic, serving the Devil,” it stated.
Poverty is still endemic in Egypt and the ticket fee that has climbed up to US$400 is unreasonable high. Conservative Christians and Muslims in the land of the Pharaoh have questioned what benefit the show brings to the country apart from "immorality".
This is not the first time a Pop/R&B singer has been referred to as a sinner or devil worshiper. Singer Rihanna has been at the forefront of controversy following the release of her song “Russian Roulette” – a song that people are referring to as satanic and the promotion of suicide.
It’s not too hard to understand why a country would be up in arms over a performance from Beyonce. Many country’s have customs that forbid certain attires of women, most of which include the showing of too much skin.
Beyonce ran into a similar issue when it came to performing in Malaysia earlier this year. The country demanded that the singer performed covered up instead of in her usual revealing outfits. In the end, Beyonce opted to cancel her Malaysian performance.

Where do they get off calling her satanic?What the christians from that website are doing is un-Christ like in itself judging and accusing, etc.And those Muslims, as if theyr'e so righteous, yet they commit suicide and kill so many.Make judgement of yourself before you make of others.It's decerning, especially if it isn't true... :(
i agree with u..nobody is born perfect..we are all born into sin.and for them to judge her like that.theyr being hypocrites.i really dont care for muslims..theyre not that holy..
i personally don't think that they should judge people like that only God should be the judge. on the other hand these singers over do their dress codes and have no respect for their body when they show it off like that!!!!!
This is too exagerated here..i live in Egypt and i belive in God and i went to the Beyonce concert.Yes there was controversies about her perfoming here BUT no one called her satanic.It's not our right to judge-if she sais she's a christian-then she is one.No one has the right to say that she isn't.Showing alot of skin doesn NOT make her a devil worshipper anyway.
Satanic???Seriously?? This is ridiculous..she is an amazing performer.If you don't want to watch her perform then don't.No one was obligated to go to that concert.
Compare her to anyone out there now..She's the best
We should allow God 2b d judge. On d other hand if she so claim 2b a xtain she should have emulated cece winas style of music cos has d voice
