When music class begins this week at Toronto’s Donwood Park elementary school, Mohammad Nouman Dasu will send a family member to collect his three young children. They will go home for an hour rather than sing and play instruments – a mandatory part of the Ontario curriculum he believes violates his Muslim faith.
The Scarborough school and the Toronto District School Board originally had offered an accommodation – suggesting students could just clap their hands in place of playing instruments or listen to acapella versions of O Canada – but not a full exemption from the class.
After a bitter three-year fight, however, Mr. Dasu felt he had no other opton but to bring his kids home.
According to documents ob-tained by The Globe and Mail, some parents insist they cannot allow their children to be in the same room where musical instruments are being played. Mr. Dasu, a Koran teacher who sometimes leads prayers at Scarborough’s Jame Abu Bakr Siddique mosque, says he has led the fight on behalf of parents. He has consulted with national Islamic bodies, and requested a letter from the leader of his mosque.
“We here believe that music is haram [forbidden]. We can neither listen to it, nor can we play a role in it,” said the mosque’s imam, Kasim Ingar.
Conceding that Muslims have to adjust when they send their kids to public school, he suggested that some matters, such as teaching music, are beyond debate.
“We do not compromise with anyone on the clear-cut orders and principles conveyed by the Prophet,” said Mr. Ingar, who also leads the Scarborough Muslim Association.

If you can’t assimilate, leave and go to a Muslim country where you can live “music free”.
Kind of like that scene near the end of “Mars Attacks” with playing Slim Whitman makes the Martians’ heads explode, lol.
But, but our Boy King told us a little under a year ago that “A Canadian is a Canadian” and his drive by friends also said that “old stock and new stock Canadians” was racist because of the way Harper said it.
“Let’s play music everywhere !”
Mosque moving into your neighborhood? “Moderate” muslim family moving in next door?
Time to crank up Insane Clown Posse. Seriously.
No melodic, soothing music. Over time, they’ll start to like it.
Crank up the most obnoxious, vile, vulgar American noise imaginable.
Of course, if you’re plagued with dindus blasting **their** boomboxes, the best response is Beethoven’s Ninth, or the Foggy Mountain Breakdown at 90 decibels blasted right back over their rap music-—at the same time theirs is blasting.
Yep. It’s war. Act surprised and hurt —and clueless— if they call the cops.. Don’t forget to smile. Repeat as often as necessary until effective—which won’t be long.
I’ve done this. It works.
Thugs have packed up and left the neighborhood to get away from me.

Apparently not much room for beauty, is there? No music, no visual arts, the women are covered.
The Blue Meanies "hate everything that maketh music." And it was music that finally defeated them.
Funny if it works the same on Islam. I doubt it though.
WTF is allowed besides suicide belts and stoning? Learn something new about islam each and every day, and none of it is good.
muzz slimes hate music because they have no souls.
Well said. I keep forgetting the Wahabists in the middle of all the ISIS and Hizbollah and the rest.
“some parents insist they cannot allow their children to be in the same room where musical instruments are being played”
I don’t think they are going far enough. They had better leave any country where instruments are being played, just to be safe.
I love it when liberal loves once again clash.
Libs just have to have music as part of curricula, and they have to accomodate Moslems. Uh oh.
There is no joy in Islam!
Genuine Christians break forth in song (or in my case, make a joyful noise) because the love of God fills us with joy.
“Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
“Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
Dress for actiona like a man;
I will question you, and you make it known to me.
“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding...
when the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?”
he believes violates his Muslim faith.
The very Instant they ADMITTED THIS, they should have been DEPORTED!!
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE A HELL HOLE OF A COUNTRY , move to the United States, and try o turn it into the hell hole that you just left!!!....If you don’t like our rules, go home.....this is the way we do it here.....if you don’t like it, BYE-BYE.
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that craazy Casbah sound
This is bull shiite. Music is not used in Islamic worship (other than their weird wailing). It is used ALL THE TIME in secular activities in Islamic society.
I don’t believe people should be forced to sing and play music. Although I appreciate certain instrumentals (Johann Sebastian Bach, please), I generally do not like singing. There are some exceptions, but it’s all about the style.
Reminds me of being forced to eat Jello at lunch in school when I was a little kid. I hate the stuff, and have a lifelong aversion to it. Had to dig in my heels and get my Mom in there to run interference. Never puked any up, but had gagging episodes. To a little kid, that was like waterboarding.
Music can be a joy and should be a choice. I’d let these folks take the music course for the deaf people. They certainly have that course option, don’t they?
Not a bad suggestion.
I say we hold Yoko Ono in reserve for the most serious times
