Why don’t we see more genuine Muslim reformers?
“Police said they were investigating whether the fatwa was a reaction to Nahid recently performing songs against terrorism, including the Islamic State terror group.”
Yes, you read that right. These Muslim clerics may have issued this fatwa against Nahid because she sang songs against terrorism and the Islamic State.
Anyway, it is one of the issues that is most likely to get you called a greasy Islamophobe for mentioning, but Islamic law is quite clear in forbidding music:
Hadith Qudsi 19:5: “The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance.” (The Hadith Qudsi, or holy Hadith, are those in which Muhammad transmits the words of Allah, although those words are not in the Qur’an.)
Muhammad also said:
(1) “Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance.”
(2) “On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress.”
(3) “Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.”
(4) “This community will experience the swallowing up of some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into animals, and being rained upon with stones.” Someone asked, “When will this be, O Messenger of Allah?” and he said, “When songstresses and musical instruments appear and wine is held to be lawful.”
(5) “There will be peoples of my Community who will hold fornication, silk, wine, and musical instruments to be lawful ….” — Reliance of the Traveller r40.0
Remember all this the next time someone tells you that anti-Sharia laws are “racist” and “Islamophobic.”
“46 Assam mullahs issue fatwa against singer Nahid Afrin,” by Prabin Kalita, TNN, March 15, 2017:
GUWAHATI: Forty-six Muslim clerics in Assam have issued a fatwa against up-and-coming singer Nahid Afrin, who was the first runner-up in the 2015 season of a musical reality TV show, asking her to stop performing in public.
Police said they were investigating whether the fatwa was a reaction to Nahid recently performing songs against terrorism, including the Islamic State terror group. “We are looking at this angle as well,” ADG (special branch) Pallab Bhattacharya said.
Leaflets bearing the fatwa in Assamese and the names of the clerics were distributed across Hojai and Nagaon districts in central Assam on Tuesday. According to the fatwa, a March 25 programme at Udali Sonai Bibi College in Lanka, Assam, where Nahid, 16, is scheduled to perform is “against the Sharia”.
“If anti-Sharia acts like musical nights are held on grounds surrounded by masjids, idgahs, madrassas and graveyards, our future generations will attract the wrath of Allah,” it said.
The young singer, a Class X student who lives in Biswanath Chariali, broke down on hearing news of the fatwa. “I am speechless. I think my music is God’s gift to me. I will never bow down to it (such warnings) and never leave singing,” she said….

Quick, get Dr. Zuhdi Jasser to talk to these 46 imams, and explain to the rest of the world why reform “needs to take time”…
gravenimage says
Grimly hilarious.
Robert says
How is this possible… a fatwa against an Indian female singer who sings in protest of terrorism, including that conducted by ISIS; and then imagine that 68% of Muslims living in the UK and 65% of Muslims living in Germany support the introduction of Sharia law as Sharia is a devine set of laws and by consequence superior to man-made laws through a democratic process…..
Jeanette says
How would they know about “man-made” anything? They have proven themselves to be less than human for 1,400 years.

46 more for the POTUS immigration ban and India’s terrorist watch list. Keep singing, it flushes out the undesirables.
Arlette King says
Under definition of Fatawa , in Wikipedia
In 2011-2012, Abdel-Bari Zamzami of Morocco issued a series of religious edicts that a man has the right to engage in sexual intercourse with his wife up to six hours after her death [47] despite recognizing that such an action is despicable in mainstream society, Zamzami persisted in backing his original fatwa, claiming marriage does not end in death.
Yes and this is a civilized religion ??
Guest says
Well, would he even *notice* that she was dead? Considering how she’s been beaten and raped into submission, perhaps holding very still and thinking of, um, producing sons was her only defense?
Jeanette says
This is not a religion; it is the only organization claiming to be a religion that meets every qualifier to be a cult.
Muslims are not civilized enough to live in civilized countries.
Send them back to the monster-breeding countries from which they came.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The 46 came to quick agreement to confer a death sentence on this young girl’s free speech. There must be some reason for that. Could it be, could it just be…

Walter Sieruk says
Wow, Islam must actually be a very weak and fragile religion if singing a song against it can to it so much harm. Likewise, the god of Islam,Allah ,must be a real nothing god since this Islamic god is so very powerless that he can’t handle the topic of a song or songs by himself so he needs Muslims to engage murdering violence for him
Finally this is a rather good reminder of the wisdom of the Christian man, Roger Williams, who was the founder of the State of Rhode Island had wisdom when he made a written statement . Which is “That religion cannot be true which need such instruments of violence to uphold it. “
Jeanette says
A religion that needs instruments of violence to uphold it isn’t a religion. It’s a cult.
Check out the qualifiers that are used to identify an organization as a cult; Islam meets every one of them.
We have been so conditioned to think of Islam as a religion that most non-Muslims automatically “turn off” when they are told that Islam is a cult, even though that might be the only way that we can shut it down.
To remove the protections which are giving the Muslims so much power, non-Muslims will have to think out of the box.

India: 46 Muslim clerics issue fatwa against singer who sang songs against terrorism and the Islamic State
……………………….
So much for the idea that terrorism and the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam…
And this is happening in India, which is *not* a Muslim-majority country.

Nahid Afrin is a brave girl, but knows nothing about the vile creed she was born into. I hope she leaves Islam.

Indians most continue to speak out both publicly and on international fora such as this about the ongoing threats, murders, and encroachment on their lands by the followers of the religion of peace and their demographic jihad.
Jeanette says
That can only continue if your “leaders” allow it.
I know because we have the same problem here (US).
mousey says
Nahid said: “Being a practising Muslim, I do not believe singing is anti-Islam.”
“My singing is gift of God. I believe it must be properly utilised, not doing so would be ignoring God,” she said, adding, “My father too told me our religious leaders said I can continue singing.
Guest says
Yes, I keep hearing young, optimistic ‘muslim’ women desperately re-interpreting their horrific ideology into something they can live with. Unfortunately without the support of the actual ideology. They often go on TV and tell people how wonderful islam is, telling the world how peaceful islam is, how kind husbands must be to their wives, how many rights women had in islam way before Christians did etc etc. And the Gutmenschen sit there and smile and nod…
Cicero says
This poor girl is naive and her life is in severe danger!
She must stop singing immediately . The Indian Police will be unable to safeguard her life.
If India did not even attempt to protect the life of world famous Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen ( she wrote the novel Lajja – an account of how Bangladeshi Hindus and their treatment by the Bengladeshi Muslim majority), then how can they protect beautiful and talented Nahid?
India advised author Taslima Nasreen to leave India since the could not guarantee her safety after she was physically assaulted by Muslim Indians and then threatened with beheading for having written a critical book abou Her home land Bangladesh . It was not even about India and yet Muslim Indians were affronted and aroused to murderous rage!
Jeanette says
Allah (not God) allows Muslim girls to be horrifically mutilated and then raped by their brand-new husbands starting the very next day; he allows them to be punished when they are the victims of rape.
I have never seen a reference to a place in Muslim Paradise for women, only the place that gives Muslim men ten perpetual virgins.
But Allah is certain to bless women with things like singing voices.
Not likely.
mortimer says
Cognitive dissonance stare any Muslim in the face if they love music. It’s impossible for them to pretend that Islam is in favor of music.
There are no great Muslim composers and even Islamic folk music is often only tolerated.
What a dull, insipid, colorless, flavorless life Muslims suffer.
Jeanette says
Oh, but they have sex, mutilation and murder, and apparently that satisfies their desire for control and violence.
davej says
To my understanding a fatwa is less a warning and more a threat.
Those pathetic individuals who condemn music, dogs and beer are just demonstrating their own mean-spirited ignorance. Then they preach about virgins and wine in Islamic heaven. May Allah strike them down for their two faced inhumane utterances.
God, I hate Islam.

A public statement of support for Nahid from Mr Modi himself would be in place and would justifiably elevate both their profiles internationally.

These stupid Muslims don’t have any joy in their pitiful lives and don’t want anyone else to either. This young lady is correct. She has a gift and must share it.

Neil Ross says
So many western nations are on the brink of Sharia, including UK which has a Muslim Lord Mayor of London. As I understand it, if the girl doesn’t obey the fatwa she can be raped and killed, and the perpetrators get legal protection as well as a promise of Muslim heaven, although I dread to imagine what a hell hole that must be.
My question is, where are the real Islamic scholars and leaders who should be condemning and removing this fatwa? It is a stain on their religion, or should be. Their silence implies approval, that Sharia is just an excuse for barbarism, opportunistic sexual violence, oppression and hate.
Jeanette says
Their silence reinforces the the Koran’s commands of violence of just about any kind that can be imagined.

INDIA – Christians the targets of a hate crime every other day so far in 2017
https://barnabasfund.org/news/Newsdesk-16-Mar-2017#india
A similar tale from Open Doors. Hindus too are desperate to get into the West.
Cicero says
The Barnabas Fund is a worldwide Christian Missionary Organization which spends billions of rupees targeting a Hindu Indians for conversion to Christianity. In fact it is the major aim of the organisations who support Barnabad Fund to convert the majority of Hindu Indians to hristianity . Their target date for the completion of their objective is the end of the 21 st century.
Jeanette says
No chance of that, unless we can stop U.N. Agenda 2030.
If we can’t stop it, then almost everyone under discussion will be dead by then.
The globalist elites’ infestation of western civilization by Muslims is part of that plan; if the Muslims kill everyone but Muslims, the elites will only have roughly 1.7 billion people left to deal with (rather than the current approximately 7 billion).
That gets rid of the main problem for Agenda 2030/One World Government, and gets a lot of the dirty work done for the elites by someone else.
Crusades Were Right! says
Abba asked: “Without a song or a dance what are we?”
The answer, apparently, is Mohammedans.
Jeanette says
If the Bible instructed that every non-Christian should be enslaved or murdered, just exactly how would a Christian go about “reforming,” while still remaining a Christian?
Right; it wouldn’t be possible. And it isn’t possible for Muslims, either.
They either stay and support the butchery, or they leave. We’re sorry that leaving is a problem, but that isn’t our fault.

Dear ALL
The reason that I have asserted for almost 30 years that Islam is NOT a RELIGION but a CULT, the Cult of Muhammad is based upon numerous Hadiths that are NOT in Muhammads Quran but had become as ordained as Allah’s commands.
There are no prohibitions in the Quran of any of the following BUT are all part of Muhammad’s Sunna~
Playing musical instruments
Singing
Dancing
Drinking wine
Wearing gold
Playing chess
Painting or engraving human or animal forms and others
Therefore it is purely logical to call Islam a CULT since every single Muslim must emulate Muhammad and NOT Allah
