According to THE STAR ONLINE, THE DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIA has objected to a scheduled LAMB OF GOD show set to take place 9/28/2013 Kuala, Lumpur.
Jakim's director General Datuk Othman Mustapha objected to Richmond, Virginia's metal core warriors LAMB OF GOD's show because the genre the band performs is a mixture of metal and songs of reading from the Quran. (?).
LAMB OF GOD's was originally named BURN THE PRIEST sparking controversy in the religious community until the band changed it's name.
As recently as 2005, THE FORUM (owned by a church in LA, California) religious leaders were offended by LAMB OF GOD's previous name and the band was banned from the venue.
