Kuwait: No Music Classes For Kids, Music Is Satanic
Only if you play it backwards.
From Eye on the World:
The issue of music education has been a hot topic in Kuwait, with Islamist lawmakers pushing for a total ban on such studies in school. Mohammed Hayef, one such legislator, said music education would lead to schools becoming breeding grounds for dancers. He has threatened to push a bill through parliament to enforce a ban.
Parents in Kuwait protested Monday against government-funded music classes outside a city school, calling the courses "Satanic," Salih al-Khalid a parent opined: "What will our sons gain from learning this Satanic course? Music is not part of our tradition and religion, and we totally reject it," Other parents said music had no benefit and elicited the wrath of god.
