Egypt is gearing for Beyonce’s first-ever performance in North Africa — but it’s not going down without some controversy.

Islamic conservatives are branding the Crazy in Love singer’s show an “insolent sex party” that threatens the Muslim nation’s “social peace and stability.”

Say what?!?

While adverts of a barely-dressed Beyonce gripping a set of motorcycle handlebars extending from her hips have polluted the streets of conservative Cairo, Islamic lawmakers and their supporters are waging campaigns on social networking sites, accusing the government of encouraging debauchery and calling for the concert’s cancellation.

“Why are you encouraging this insolent sex party?” lawmaker Hamdi Hassan from the opposition Muslim Brotherhood writes in a letter to the government. “You are accused of disturbing social peace and stability, encouraging vice and debauchery.”

Another Islamic lawmaker, Ali Laban, is calling for the ban of the “nudity concert.” A Facebook campaign against Beyonce’s concert collected nearly 10 000 supporters.

For their part, event organizer Ahmed Beltagi says: “We are Muslims too … this will not stop Egypt from hosting an award-winning, first class artist. We should salute her instead of criticizing her.”
