I think Arabs dislike only polyphonic music. They certainly have music. Muslims elsewhere seem to like music in general. I have seen Muslims dance, including belly dancers.

I think you are confusing Muslims with Arabs. In fact, there are more non-Arab Muslims than Arab Muslims, and many Arabs are not Muslims, and do certainly enjoy that music we recognize as Middle Eastern.

The Muslim religion flatly condemns music in the usual sense, and those who endulge their very normal desire to enjoy music are defying Muslims sharia law.

Please document that amazing assertion. Thanks.

"The Muslim religion flatly condemns music in the usual sense..."

What does this mean? Do you know there is a Christian Church, the Church of Christ, who don't use musical instruments in song in worship?
