“But seriously, perhaps it’s a misunderstanding on my part, but how is the Prince’s idea of a musical with orchestra and Tibetan gongs going to pass muster? I thought that, at least for the most fundamentalist Muslims, musical instruments (also pets, drawing the human form) are strictly verboten, whether or not in worship. Only vocalization. And a nod to Tibetan gongs? Well, I’ll be curious to see if the musical materializes and if it is protested.”

You are probably correct fortunecookie, Muslems don’t use instruments in their services, it very well could be that no one has told Charles that fact, or he doesn’t really care, it’s what he wants to happen in his church...

The man seems like he can be a bit dense at times.

He does at that. Maybe just sheltered. It seems almost like PC-ness is creeping in, imho.

See post #115, padre35. It does shed some light. Thanks again, Winniesboy! The musical could actually be quite good once finished. I just can't see Islamist-types not objecting to it in some way.
