This stuff would almost be laughable, if it wasnt so dangerous to world civility

“A heart filled with music will not 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.”

While Mr. Philips argues that Islam does not prohibit all music, he says it only allows adult male singers and “folk songs with acceptable content sung by males or females under the age of puberty accompanied by a hand drum.”

Since rap isn't considered music, then he can listen to all the Run DMC, Beasty Boys, Emmeniem etc. he wants. I think he a blasphemery anyways. Clearly the article show a picture of him. Also, I am sure of there would be pictures on his online university. I think Islam forbids pictures, images or sybols before Allah, he has commited blasphemy. He should be stone to death or made to listen to rap 24/7. I wonder what Cat Stevens says about this. Anyways, Rock On!.

My neighbor is a guitarist who plays in local bars around here. He's quite good. He was asked last week to play for a benefit dinner that was held to raise money for our local food bank. The dinner happened to be held at a Catholic religious retreat that's down the road from us. Pretty much the whole community showed up as our little town often does for worthy local causes. During the dinner, some old bag came up to my neighbor while he was playing and started dressing him down. "This is a Christian retreat center, you should be playing songs about Jesus or NONE AT ALL!!" He packed up and left.

He should have stayed. There are wackjobs everywhere, true, but this story illustrates just how radical certain tenets of islam are...these are things you dont see in the "join us" brochures...

I'm closely familiar with no dancing, drinking, no secular music, definitely no rock n roll, no movies, no television and no sinner friends. That was the 20th century.

Negotiating Saudi customs...sexual hysteria at the border

Drivers of 18 wheelers going into Saudi Arabia are subjected to the strictest searches for contraband, as liquor and pornographic magazines and pork are prohibited from being imported into the kingdom.

One British driver had the misfortune to attempt to have the Saudi customs officials discover a package of Walls' best back bacon in his lunch box.
The customs officer had a small bonfire started, and the bacon was burnt up on the spot. "Damn near made me cry, a lovely fry up it was, and I couldn't eat any"

Another customs officer discovered, deep inside a trailer, a box marked with stencils that DEFINATELY came within the Saudi definition of Pornography, a stencil of a plastic blow up inflatable rubber woman, with "pubic hair so real you can not tell the difference"

To those who saw this incident, and were not inclined to dismiss it as having not actually happened,

the enraged Saudi customs official immediately arrested the driver, confiscated the cargo, had the container opened, the offending sex doll
inflated, stood up against a wall, and SHOT !!!

(See COLA COWBOYS, Franklyn Wood, 1984) It is NON fiction. Should be required reading for those who think Saudi Arabia is just our big dumb gas station

“A heart filled with music will not have room for God’s words,”

“Wind and stringed instruments have been banned because of their captivating power,” he continues. “Their notes and chords evoke strong emotional attachments. For many, music becomes a source of solace and hope instead of God. When they are down, music brings them up temporarily, like a drug. The Koran, the words of God filled with guidance, should play that role.”

In his book, he also says adult women are forbidden from singing “in order to keep the sensual atmosphere of the society at a minimum. Men are much more easily aroused than females as has been thoroughly documented by the clinical studies of Masters and Johnson.”
Music is an integral part of life in the Arab and Muslim world, but Mr. Philips and a band of Saudi-influenced lecturers have been trying to convince Muslims to turn off their radios and iPods and focus on their religion.
Zakir Naik, the president of the Islamic Research Foundation in Mumbai, India, who pulled out of a Toronto conference last year following a controversy over his views, claims music puts people into a “trance” and “frenzy.” Yasir Qadhi of Texas, dean of the Al Maghrib Institute, argues that you “can’t love the Koran and music at the same time.”

Being that religion, all religion is the opiate of the masses, I can surmise only one thing. What we have here is a drug dealer that wants to wipe out the competition. He wants to be the only one peddling the opium and not be competing with some other entity.
