Islam considers music a "social ill" ?

Our British friends are probably 20 years farther along the curve of Islamicization than the U.S., and it's instructive to see what they're experiencing. Because that's an excellent predictor of what Islamic pushers will try (and are trying) to do here.

In east London they've built a very large mosque, and the smooth talkers constantly speak about "building bridges to other faiths" and "reaching out." They profess a love for "tolerance" and "harmony." Except those terms evidently don't mean the same to them as they do to us. Example: they regard music as a "social ill":

the East London Mosque has hosted such notably tolerant and harmonious meetings as, for instance, the half-day conference on ‘social ills’ on 9 July last year. One of the “social ills” — with an entire session to itself — was “music,” described by one of the speakers, Haitham al-Haddad, as a “prohibited and fake message of love and peace.”

And as anyone who's been paying attention knows, Islam has some... unusual... ideas about how women should dress and behave.

...[and] there was the mosque’s even more tolerant and harmonious event with a man called Murtaza Khan – who told his audience that women who use perfume should be flogged...

These are just two small items, but they hint at what a society run by Islam, under Sharia law, would be like.

It's also instructive that the mainstream media in the U.K.--mainly the BBC--is doing the same thing as our MSM here: supporting and praising Islam, while portraying anyone who warns that it's actually a deadly threat to freedom as a bigot, xenophobe, rube, religious nut, stupid or similar.

Sound familiar?

If you think I'm being too hyperbolic, click on the link. It's an editorial by the editor of one of London's largest daily papers, and he blasts the BBC for doing what amounts to PR work for the East London mosque.
