Madonna lives to push cultural buttons, particularly if said button will get under the skin of practicing Christians.

She evidently has a different standard when considering stage props which might upset Muslims.

Madonna has decided against wearing a Muslim bridal dress in her new music video over fears for her safety.

The 54-year-old singer was planning to don a ‘Terror Bride’ outfit – a combination of a traditional Iraqi bridal veil and a US soldier’s uniform – in the video for upcoming single ‘Superstar’ as a statement against oppression against women and war, but her advisers convinced her to ditch the political stunt because of the outrage it would be likely to cause.
