#2 IIRC, in 2003-2004 there was a witch hunt in Morocco, a relatively "moderate" muslim country, against black metal/death metal/trash/... local afficionados, based on the same accusation of satanism, with added drug abuse charges (which is pretty funny coming from a country that produces about 80% of the cannabis consumed in Europe, with high level complicities and involvement of gvt officials).

The islamic powers-that-be just don't like rock music.

Note I don't listen to black metal, my musical tastes are as decadent (The Cramps rulz!), but not as noisy.

#4 At least they have their priorities straight. They first banned the insidious and deviant music of Kenny G. Talk about a threat to civilization!

#5 I'm sure Ozzie really cares what these pinheads think...assuming he understands it.

#6 Given what most metal sounds like . . . this is one fatwa I can actually get behind. While you're at it, can you add Kanye West and Britney to the list?

He comes out and fatwas Nickel Creek or Eastmountainsouth or Ollabelle, and that's another thing entirely.
