The Republicans are in trouble. Well, actually we are in trouble if these are the people selecting those that represent us in government. There is a blog here for Brownback, or rather, run by people for ol Sammy boy. One of the posts by someone called Sisyphus rants about how woodwind instruments are devilish. One would think it might be a parody, but it seems it isn't. There are lots of comments, the site gets many hits from hecklers, and the authors love to respond to them. Here is a sample of the author responding to a couple of comments...
“I played the flute in junior high. Could that have led me down the path to corruption and turned me into the evil heathenistic atheist I am?”
In all probability, yes.
“next, i have a question. you say that any instrument you play that involves the use of your mouth is of the Devil. rite? well, i play the trumpet. you use your mouth to play it. does it not say in the Bible that when the Lord comes to call us home, he shall be announced w/ trumpets, and that trumpets are a heavenly instrument.”
Trumpets require non-sexual lip and tongue movements, though. It’s very different.

As I see it, the only reason these people aren't clamoring for the killing of all the hecklers is because it is not socially acceptable. If it were, if society looked down upon those that think differently, and condoned retribution beyond an adverse post like the one above, the person posting would surely feel justified with more than just an obscure post. Contrast what is acceptable in our society, with what is acceptable in a muslim community, where mothers praise a non-existent almighty for allowing a child to give their life with a suicide bombing, and you see the difference is the legitimacy of the acts performed in the name of faith, not in the rationale of those performing the acts. In other words, the above post shows the potential is here for the atrocities that are allowed in other parts of the world. How long can we keep our sanity?

Awful! I think these faith deals with some Moslems (there are other beliefs too) but not all of them especially in Iran. Like Chris in catholic and protestant, Islam has many branches. These wrong faiths really don’t mention in Moslem’s heaven book; Quran, so many Moslems especially good ones have no belief in these faults.
A real music that deal with art, never refer to devil even with woodwind instruments. Art has beauty and all beauty can redound to see the god, beauty is not epithet of devil.
We have a very great poet named is Hafez, in one of his poem he said:
Make apology on the war of 72 sects
Because they couldn’t see the truth, they went on fiction path
Please excuse my very bad grammar and verify my comment to this:

You are right, real music has nothing to do with religion.
I hope understood you correctly concerning Moslems and your statement that "good ones have no belief in these faults." There are some people that would disagree with you about Moslems and beliefs in faults. One of the things most people in America find difficult to
agree with when it comes to the Quran, is that with true Islam, there is no distinction between religious belief and the State. The Quran is not only the law of the faithful, but the law of the land, and faithful Muslims are required to work at making this a reality for the world population.
(I had to look up 'epithet', so even though your grammar might be off, your vocabulary does not seem to be lacking)
As a matter of fact I use some Persian to English dictionary for helping my lack of vocabulary so it may happen faults at using the words to have good meanings in the sentences (like my offline).
Probably those people didn’t have enough knowledge about quran and the Islam at beginning in Arabic region and they just mention to some selfish Moslems and their faults with the name of Islam and its God on these days. Believe me all of the old religions pay attention to the human rights but just at their time and their position and not in the year 2007!! I think at the present god has given the humans enough knowledge to determine and decide in their positions what the way of living and praying is and it’s no limitation to believe in any religion. Unfortunately all of the religious leaders just believe in his own religion at present and if they found way to politics like you see in Iran they just fucked their people to gain their aim.
