An Islamic group is lobbying to have Avril Lavigne’s upcoming August 30th concert in Malaysia cancelled, claiming the singer’s on-stage moves are “too sexy” for the Muslim-majority country.

Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party official Kamarulzaman Mohamed has urged the government to cancel Avril’s performance. Mohamed insists the show would promote the wrong values on the eve of Malaysia’s independence day on August 31.

“It is considered too sexy for us…It’s not good for viewers in Malaysia. We don’t want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models.”
