Actually, music is forbidden to strict Muslims because it is considered to be a distraction from the Koran and from deriving satisfaction from traditional things like their families.
The penality for strict muslims who listen to music is having molten gold poured into their ears in Paradise.
You'll notice that alot of their "music" is keening or wailing ... that is acceptable.

Sounds like lib-uh-rhuls. You can have music, as long as you don't enjoy it.
Right now there is a lib-uh-rhul getting up from a fitful night's attempt at sleep. A sleep interrupted by the persistent nagging thought that someone somewhere is enjoying themselves...
