Bilal Philips was once a guitar god. Now he is trying to convince Muslims that God doesn’t want them listening to guitars.
A Saudi-trained Canadian, Mr. Philips is among a small group of lecturers who preach against most forms of music — a controversial prohibition that surfaced in Manitoba recently, where a dozen Muslim families want to pull their children from music class.
“A heart filled with music won't 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.”
“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.”
“The point is that if music were beneficial, then the musicians would demonstrate that benefit in their lives,” he says in a YouTube video.
“What you see instead is that some of the most corrupt elements of society are found among the musicians. The drugs, the deviations and homosexuality, these type of things and all the corruption that’s there, people committing suicide,” he says. “The reality is that it in fact does carry an evil, dark side which produces that type of corruption amongst themselves and, in the end, ends up corrupting elements of the society.”

Satan really knows how to whip up a religion, doesn’t he?
Jerry Lee Lewis became a pariah in the music industry for many of these same things. And he didn't even speak out AGAINST music!
Is it the music or the lyrics you find objectionable? One thing I read from Rick Warren that I am inclined to agree with is that there is no unGodly music only unGodly lyrics. I not completely convinced there is no pure "music" which could be unGodly in itself but I've never been able to think of any. I guess disco comes close. ;-)
Good point. I don’t believe any particular style of music is itself corrupted. It is the heart of the writer that corrupts it. Most of the time that will be present in the lyrics.
The only “point” is on his head.
I don’t think druggies get high on Bleu Grass, Country and Western and Classical.
Muslims hate:
Pork
Pretty Women
Free Speech
Secular Government
Dancing
Singing
Images of people or animals
Dogs
Alcohol
People who leave Islam
People who try to talk Muslims into leaving Islam
They are maniacs!! Puritans on Steroids.
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...it is my responsibility to enforce all the laws
that haven’t been passed yet. It is also my responsibility to alert each and every one of
you to the potential consequences of various ordinary everyday activities you might be
performing which could eventually lead to The Death Penalty (or affect your parents’
credit rating). Our criminal institutions are full of little creeps like you who do wrong things...
and many of them were driven to these crimes by a horrible force called MUSIC! Our studies
have shown that this horrible force is so dangerous to society at large that laws are being
drawn up at this very moment to stop it forever! Cruel and inhuman punishments are
being carefully described in tiny paragraphs so they won’t conflict with the Constitution
(which, itself, is being modified in order to accommodate THE FUTURE).
I bring you now a special presentation to show what can happen to you if you choose
a career in MUSIC . . . The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading only. . . if you
have to load or unload, go to the WHITE ZONE... you ‘ll love it... it ‘s a way of life . . .
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading
only...

What better way to kill a person’s soul then to ban music. Islam is joyless, it is a form of tortuous bondage that the isane want to inflict upon the sane.

Radical islam is real, honest islam. Moderate islam is the Trojan Horse.
Sheik Philips, once wrote: “Western culture, led by the United States, is the enemy of Islam.”
The US Government named him as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 bombings that killed six people and injured 1000. He was deported from the US in 2004.
Hardly.
"“While studying in Simon Frasier University at Vancouver in Canada, I played the guitar in shows, nightclubs. When I went to Malaysia, I also performed onstage and became known as the Jimmy Hendrex of Sabah in East Malaysia. However, when I became a Muslim, I felt uncomfortable doing this and gave it up both professionally and privately,” he said."
But then, if he could play like "Jimmy Hendrex" I guess he was pretty good.
Poser.
That’s a guitar!
In muslim hell the Brothers are greeted at the door by a special band: banjos, bagpipes, accordians and tubas.
“Roll out the barrel, we’ll have a barrel ... yes yes”
“God so loves guitars he sent me this one from Nazareth “
I’m jealous. What Martin do you have?
Cat Stevens, I mean, "Yusuf Islam" has returned to playing his hits again.

The only redeeming aspect of Islam:
It stopped Cat Stevens from playing “Moonshadow”
Yes, I'm sure that Bilal's "god" might disapprove of something like this.
