Music is for lazy people who don't like to think

What about people who like to think about music?
What about these muslim composers?

...listening? well i listen to music and it hasnt made me a zombie.
playing? you dont know how hard that shit is do you. Those who do not have proficiency in any skill have no respect for the time and dedication it takes to gain proficiency in another.
Actually, I think music keeps me focused sometimes.
Also, on the bus it helps me shut out the noise that would usually set off my anxiety and lets me think in peace on my journey.
Of course, sometimes it's just fun.
I also play ukulele. Are you seriously suggesting that it takes no thought?
I know there are people who don't like music, or can't listen to it when they're doing something, but that isn't everybody. Feel free to do these things your own way, but don't assume everyone should be the same.
The Sufi Dervishes of the Mevlevi order in Turkey. Their use of dance and music brings them closer to Allah , they say.
Your argument is invalid , Abdullard .
Interesting thing to note about human beings, give us any object - anything at all - and we will make one of two things from it: A weapon or an instrument.
I will take as much of the latter as possible.
Listening to music provides mental stimulation and makes tedious tasks easier to bear. It elevates your mood when you're depressed, calms you when you're angry, and makes you happy just because.
You take music from us and you might as well rob our very humanity. Frankly that says some scary shit about you.

@ The O.P. who hates music and fun;
* First; Music is good for the soul and it can be used to draw one closer to Allah!
* Music enriches the mind! Better thinking! Ever heard of "The Mozart Effect"? Certain types of music can actually aid a brain in thinking, meditation, creativity, etc.
* Not all music is some weirdo making Cookie Monster noises! A lot of music is soothing, relaxing and healing.
* Music is fun. Allah is not against fun! The Islamic golden age, long ago, embraced music, the arts, poetry, philosophy.
* Musical lyrics are poetry. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Syd Barrett was a master at strangely word-salad poetry that expressed moods, colors and literary references.
* Your name sounds like a Muslim strawman character in the Jack Chick tract "The Trial" (a comical but incredibly stupid one about a little girl on trial for telling her friend about Jesus), "Abdulla Ab-Du-Lah".
* You deprive people of fun so they'll abhor the world and obsess over the afterlife. However, Allah made the world and declared it "Good". Rejecting the creation of the Supreme Deity is very insulting and blasphemous. We are to enjoy the Earth as well as the Hereafter. My faith recognizes this truth, "All acts of love and pleasure are My rituals".
* The Ummah needs it's Gumma.
* I am awesome. Kiss my pants-clad liberated female butt. You Wahhabis don't speak for Islam nor non-Muslims like me.
Waddaya think guys? Am I hot or what?!
@ SpukiKitty
Works for me.
Such much nonsense squeezed into 1 sentence!
I can't imagine life without my soundtrack; how dull this idiot's existence must be.
I currently have Cannonball by The Breeders cranked.

"Waddaya think guys? Am I hot or what?!"
Well, I believe that goes without saying. *smiles*

Oh no... Abu-chan did not just badmouth music on Ibuki's watch! No way is she letting this stand!
Music is the expression of the soul! It is an art for the ears! Every culture has music! Every one of them! Heck, music is a huge [part of religion, with their hymns and stuff! Besides, music takes a lot of time and dedication in order to learn, much less perfect it as a craft! To say that it's a pointless distraction for lazy people is just... completely and totally wrong!
Maybe I ought to show this one on the forum I go to. There's at least two musicians I know there who'd be able to tear this ass five new ones far more effectively than I could.
Though, the idea that music is for people who don't like to think is hilarious, given how hard fundies tend to go against any music not specifically created for them... and even then if it has any sort of beat or is interesting to listen to they still hate it.

Just went to the forum. A little later, he states
"Ah! You're the neg repper who likes to 'think'." in answer to someone linking to an imam that states music is hallal.
Other quote "because it makes you want to dance like the devil in the pale moonlight".
Globally, this level of ignorance makes me vomit.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
