The whole premise is utter crap.

Taking issue with it is a waste of time as the OP has no interest in the fact that the information provided in the first post does not for one minute support the heavy implication, if not outright dishonest assertion in the thread title and first post combind that that Moslems are out to hurt children.

There are numerous Islamic musicians who have made it in the west, from Zakir Hussein to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (no need to mention Cat Stevens).

There are millions of others all round the world who play religious and non religious music daily with no thought of incongruity with the Koran.

But Keith has seen fit to begin a thread with a deliberately provocative claim.

And I stand by my assertion that Keiths posturing as The Objective Voice of Reason when all else are losing their heads is dishonest in the extreme.

He makes insinuations and implies conclusions whether in response to other peoles points, or as in this case, without prompting of any sort.

His political leanings are very clear and his impartial facade is utterly transparent.
