Satan really knows how to whip up a religion, doesn’t he?

[a fool in paradise]

“A heart filled with music won't have room for God’s words,” he writes in his book Contemporary Issues, which also defends child marriages, wife beating, polygamy and killing apostates while calling homosexuality “evil and dangerous.”

Jerry Lee Lewis became a pariah in the music industry for many of these same things. And he didn't even speak out AGAINST music!

[circlecity]

"I don't let my children listen to certain types of music because I believe it is "corrupted". But that doesn't apply to all music. It takes discernment."

Is it the music or the lyrics you find objectionable? One thing I read from Rick Warren that I am inclined to agree with is that there is no unGodly music only unGodly lyrics. I not completely convinced there is no pure "music" which could be unGodly in itself but I've never been able to think of any. I guess disco comes close. ;-)

Everywhere is freaks and hairys
Dykes and fairies
Tell me where is sanity?

Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till we run out, rich no more

--Alvin Lee

Good point. I don’t believe any particular style of music is itself corrupted. It is the heart of the writer that corrupts it. Most of the time that will be present in the lyrics.

[ZULU]

The only “point” is on his head.

I don’t think druggies get high on Bleu Grass, Country and Western and Classical.

Muslims hate:

Pork

Pretty Women

Free Speech

Secular Government

Dancing

Singing

Images of people or animals

Dogs

Alcohol

People who leave Islam

People who try to talk Muslims into leaving Islam

They are maniacs!! Puritans on Steroids.

This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...it is my responsibility to enforce all the laws
that haven’t been passed yet. It is also my responsibility to alert each and every one of
you to the potential consequences of various ordinary everyday activities you might be
performing which could eventually lead to The Death Penalty (or affect your parents’
credit rating). Our criminal institutions are full of little creeps like you who do wrong things...
and many of them were driven to these crimes by a horrible force called MUSIC! Our studies
have shown that this horrible force is so dangerous to society at large that laws are being
drawn up at this very moment to stop it forever! Cruel and inhuman punishments are
being carefully described in tiny paragraphs so they won’t conflict with the Constitution
(which, itself, is being modified in order to accommodate THE FUTURE).
I bring you now a special presentation to show what can happen to you if you choose
a career in MUSIC . . . The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading only. . . if you
have to load or unload, go to the WHITE ZONE... you ‘ll love it... it ‘s a way of life . . .
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading
only...

What better way to kill a person’s soul then to ban music. Islam is joyless, it is a form of tortuous bondage that the isane want to inflict upon the sane.

Radical islam is real, honest islam. Moderate islam is the Trojan Horse.

Sheik Philips, once wrote: “Western culture, led by the United States, is the enemy of Islam.”

The US Government named him as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 bombings that killed six people and injured 1000. He was deported from the US in 2004.

Bilal Philips was once a guitar god.

Hardly.

"“While studying in Simon Frasier University at Vancouver in Canada, I played the guitar in shows, nightclubs. When I went to Malaysia, I also performed onstage and became known as the Jimmy Hendrex of Sabah in East Malaysia. However, when I became a Muslim, I felt uncomfortable doing this and gave it up both professionally and privately,” he said."

But then, if he could play like "Jimmy Hendrex" I guess he was pretty good.

Poser.

[Travis McGee]

That’s a guitar!

In muslim hell the Brothers are greeted at the door by a special band: banjos, bagpipes, accordians and tubas.
“Roll out the barrel, we’ll have a barrel ... yes yes”

“God so loves guitars he sent me this one from Nazareth “

I’m jealous. What Martin do you have?

a man now known as "Yusuf Islam," and who eschews music, etc.

Cat Stevens, I mean, "Yusuf Islam" has returned to playing his hits again.

I love that song. But now I have the tune running through my head. :-)

The only redeeming aspect of Islam:

It stopped Cat Stevens from playing “Moonshadow”

[Charles Martel]

“"A heart filled with music won't have room for God’s words,”

Yes, I'm sure that Bilal's "god" might disapprove of something like this.
