muslims and christians...
yeah maybe. but I don't think other religions and their musics are that segregated.
buddhism and judaism don't have that much propaganda or an expansionist theme attached to them.
In the end I think it's unfair and outright not nice to prevent christian music (or any other) from getting exposure, just because it is what it is.
If they can't generate enough audience by their own merits, it's cool.
I mean, like most other social values under the pretense of being progressive, it's hypocritical. if tool can say "F.. your God, your Lord, your Christ" why shouldn't others say the opposite? That's how freedom of speech should work. Living in Turkey, I know firsthand how "progressive secularism" can invoke chaos and animosity. It has a tendency to be audacious, arrogant and elitist.
Personally, listening to Bach's "Erbarme Dich" (and the complete matthaus passion in fact) moves me a lot. Moves me enough to learn the meaning of the music.
I also love the Qawwali music, first being Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
yep.
