This fatwa describes why music is unislamic. There are some entertaining moral arguments that just don’t make sense.

Music and temporary entertainments sink the human in physical pleasures and prevent him/her from true spiritual gains. In conclusion, music has a great role to play in preventing a human from realising the purpose of creation.

And for what purpose is that? In a world of freedom and self-determination the individual has his or her own purpose in life. Both Christians and Muslims need to understand that man will do as he chooses. If God didn’t want it that way then he should not have created us in his image. He should have done better.

Another harm of music is that it instills the ideologies of the Non-Muslims in the heart and mind. The messages of today’s music follow a general theme of love, fornication, drugs and freedom.

Apparently music provides confusion to Muslims and Non-Muslims suffer from many ills brought on by music. Love is a theme that must be Unislamic. I guess that must be true if you make your wives wear bags over their heads and you buy little girls into “arranged marriages”. Fornication must be evil as well since it partially goes along with love, though love is not a prerequisite. I would assume that having children must be an evil act according to the fatwa, since you technically need to fornicate to have them. Drugs (including alcohol, and nicotine) disturb the social order and cause people to do what they normally would, and forget that any peer or moral authority is watching over them. We certainly do not want to forget why God put us here, now do we? Finally freedom is a theme in music that is Unislamic. The freedom to make your own decisions does not involve submitting to God. In its most simple terms God is a slave driver who wants to stamp out all freedom. Kinda makes Satan look like a much better choice for a diety to follow.
