Iran's ultimate supremo, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, gave a remarkable endorsement to music this week, declaring it "not compatible with the highest values of the sacred regime of the Islamic Republic." He didn't exactly mean to praise song, but if music is a threat to the sort of murderous theocracy over which Mr. Khamenei presides, well then here's to music.
The ayatollah didn't just denounce Western music (which he has done before) but music-making of any and every sort. Instead of wasting time practicing scales, he declared, "It's better that our dear youth spend their valuable time in learning science and essential and useful skills." The kind of enrichment he's interested in isn't the sort you get in a concert hall.

Ah...a familiar theme. How many times as JWs did we hear about the danger of music with a 'throbbing African beat.'

I left a comment (pending approval) asking if the muslim man would still give his change to the homeless man if he were a Jew? I asked if Muslims want all jews dead or is it just bad press? I'm curious to see whether I get an answer. I doubt it.
