The good news is that the Syrian pressing of Barry Manilow's "Greatest Hits" (yes, the DOUBLE LP!) was unharmed (well, except for a cutout holepunch in the upper-right of the rear sleeve)...

Music is against the rules according to Sharia. Electronics is against the rules. Being happy is against the rules. Relaxing is against the rules. Watching TV would most definitely offend Allah.
