Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

That’s some sick sxxt – just as bad as inquisition Roman church tyranny – oppressing people with this morbid dogma is a despot’s playground – the only thing I can see the various caliphates accomplished was war and oppression – no music, no art, no technology and certainly no justice. In the case of \britain, I’m not so sure Islamic tyranny would be any worse than Ensoc tyranny they have nown- lose=lose for the cradle of liberal democracy.
Like Americans, I can’t see how Brits can avoid bloodshed to regain their freedom.
Had to look that up on a map. Smack dab in the middle of England. I’m sure the Muzziies didn’t pick it by accident.
PERVERTS!
Does this mark the end of the minaret caterwauling?
No, because no one – except possibly a John Cage – could call it “music”.
I thought the latin translation of “opera” was “death by music”. Is that what these strange folks are on about? Or are they mad at Boy George and Bronski Beat?
Hm, never knew to Muslims had so much in common with the old time Southern evangelicals, who used to refer to the Blues as “the Devil’s music”.
Well, here’s an idea for all garage bands, make “Muslim rock” CD’s, like some do “Christian rock”, it’ll be a best seller or your ticket to Hell.
Only your Imam knows for sure.
“Hm, never knew to Muslims had so much in common with the old time Southern evangelicals, who used to refer to the Blues as ‘the Devil’s music’.”
Not the same thing at all. Whatever quibbles the “old time Southern evangelicals” might have had with certain kinds of music, they still enjoyed country, the gospel variety and revival hymns.
Get a group of people to drag a bunch of Mackie 1600w concert speakers over to the local mosque, crank up ‘the devil went down to Georgia” and see what happens. Probably just get arrested. Or for spite maybe a selection of 80’s boy bands, or Nickleback.
Or autotune the call to pray with a few tunes in the background. Have fun.
So does this mean in future wars in the middle east the helicopters should be rigged with sound systems such as in Apocalypse Now?

and she is playing Rap Music…

Very selective there JJM, my wackjob religious muther also considered certain types of music “devils work”. Your selectivism is kind of “degree of dead”. Maybe we can consider that the Christians, being a Abrahamic religion like Islam, have progressed just a little more than the muzzies. I say send those who object to a little rock and roll back to were they come from.
Ooops, forgot to hit copy. That link should be

If it wasn’t for Donald Fagan, there wouldn’t be any new music at all that is worth listening to.
And that is SINFUL.
Rap and hip hop can burn in hell with it’s authors.
We are now living in a post music world.
Perhaps, the best counter-jihad music to this “music is haram” poster is by the Australian Steve Lee. “I like guns”. (note it’s has almost 5 million hits now!)
We’re closing in on the time when only those possessing arms will be able to exercise free speech, either to music or not.
Let’s all sing along.

Interesting how Davidic worship was all about the “stringed” instrument. David played the harp in King Saul’s palace and it calmed the torment within his soul.
Maybe the Muslims should listen a bit more to the songs of Heaven and it just might change the rage to peace.
We have learned a great deal about music, its impact in our world but we have a lot more to learn about how it effects the world around us. As music is waves of sound, those vibrations physically buffet and impact, not only our ears, but our bodies and our surroundings. There are many types of wavelengths and instruments used in music therapy for different types of diseases, with many healing attributes. The use of frequencies of sounds have many more applications which we will discover and use.
The “spirit” behind the Muslim faith is one of control, repression and bondage. As was stated before, freedom is a scary thing to these people, for with freedom comes creativity and the ability to discover new and exciting things. And all of it to show how much creativity God has and desires for us to learn and grow into.

Seems to me certain interpreters of Islam use it as the tool of Shaytan, by which it attracts people to perform wrongful acts.
Not my religion, so I’ll continue to enjoy music and allow them to enjoy their self-imposed joylessness.
Music in and of itself just like language is neither sacred, secular or demonic until it is used for any one of those purposes. The first time I ever heard of the blues being referred to as ‘the devil’s music’ was when a famous blues musician used that expression. Likewise some of the more jarring rock music is intended, likely for dramatic effect, to be demonic in nature.
That being said I believe Islam is demonic in nature and not Abrahamic. Its seeking to ban music is simply another example of its evil base.
Love and freedom are horrible things, dontcha know………./sarc
The real story is not that the poster was hanging, it’s that it is still hanging. No one with the balls to rip it down.
Frankly, I’m not really sure quite what all the noise here is about. The poster seems to be on display inside the Madani School, which appears to be a private Muslim school.
Presumably any faith-based school is free to publicize its particular beliefs within its own premises?
Soon coming to a tax payer funded school near you.
“Talmudic Sources”
In light of the above, it is not surprising to find that Chazal issued a number of restrictions regarding music. The Mishnah (Sotah 48a) records that when the Sanhedrin ceased to function in Jerusalem, the Rabbis forbade song in the wine houses. The Jerusalem Talmud (9:12) explains the reason for this decree: “At first, when the Sanhedrin was functioning, it was able to impose discipline and prevent the introduction of inappropriate content in song. When the Sanhedrin ceased to function, it could no longer impose discipline, and people would introduce corrupt lyrics into music.”
The Gemara (Sotah 48a) continues this theme and declares that the song of the chip workers and the farmers was permitted, but the song of the weavers was forbidden. Rashi explains that the permitted songs were not frivolous; they helped the workers and animals perform their tasks. The weavers’ songs were forbidden because they served no constructive purpose; it was an entirely frivolous activity.
The Gemara on Gittin 7a presents a seemingly more drastic prohibition. The Gemara records that Chazal simply forbade listening to all music subsequent to the destruction of the Temple.

Humans instinctively love rhythm and music. We’re wired that way.
I say, more power to the immans! DRIVE THOSE KIDS AWAY. Make them rebel!
Oops! Should be ‘imam’ not ‘imman’…How gauche!
I guess “We Will Rock You” by Queen could be the anthem for these zealots. Maybe not.

I once read a biography of Richard Feynmann. Apparently, he hated music; it really grated on him and the only thing remotely musical he could stand was drumming. My guess is, given the universality of music, this had to be something neurological.
Now, anyone who has spent any time reading “Ask the Imam” knows that Mighty Mo hated music and all he could tolerate was drums or a tambourine-like thingie called a duff. But no music at all. So we end up with Mo decreeing that music is haram simply because he didn’t like it, possibly sharing the same neurological defect with Richard Feynmann. This is my favorite reason to show that all of the hadith have always been entirely arbitrary based solely on Mo’s mood at the moment.
Mo didn’t much care for dogs either.
Didn’t know that he hated music as well. Child bride cries of pain and sorrow were likely music for ol mo’s ears.
