		<description><![CDATA[Muhammed&#039;s aversion to music and song is well-known to Muslims through hadiths (narratives) which report that he declared that songstresses and musicians who played flutes and drums (and, by extrapolation, all other instruments) would wind up in hell.  The Ayatollah Khomeini, aware of Muhammed&#039;s aversion to music, personally viewed music as haram (forbidden to Muslims) except when it was employed in a military context.  Since Muslims are expected to emulate the behavior and attitudes of Muhammed, it should come as no surprise that musical training has a low priority in many Muslim-dominated lands.   While Verdi&#039;s Aida premiered in Cairo at the end of the nineteenth century, post-colonial Muslim countries have had no interest in cultivating an appreciation of Western musical traditions, hence, there are no symphony orchestras of significance remaining, outside of Israel, the only true Western outpost in the region.  There is, surprisingly, a professional level Iranian symphony orchestra based in Tehran, which was established years ago before the Iranian Revolution, but I believe its existence is threatened due to withdrawal of government funding, official distrust, and lack of popular support. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The Polka Anthem Marathon of Death.&quot; That&#039;s a good line. I like it. As for the Palestinians,it seems that they&#039;d be better off training musicians than suicide bombers. Then again,these people aren&#039;t that big on music anyway.

		<description><![CDATA[They got Mikis Theodoraki, a crazy bigoted leftist. 
  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.engageonline.org.uk/blog/article.php?id=2018&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.engageonline.org.uk/blog/article.php?i...&lt;/a&gt; 
 
Question: Mr. Theodorakis, on November 4, 2003 you said in this house the words that shocked Jews and non-Jews across the world. You said that the Jewish people are at the root of evil. What did you mean?  
 
Answer: &quot;For me the root of evil today is the policy of President Bush. It is a fascist policy. I cannot understand how is it that the Jewish people, who have been the victims of Nazism, can support such a fascist policy. No other people in the world support those policies but Israel! This situation saddens me. I am a friend of Israel. I am a friend of the Jewish people. But the policy of Sharon and the support for the policy of Bush darkens the image of Israel. I am afraid that Sharon is going to lead the Jews - just as Hitler led the Germans - to the root of evil.&quot;  
 
Even today, 10 months later, you don&#039;t think you made a mistake when you uttered those words?  
 
&quot;No, but it&#039;s important for me to emphasize that I never said that the Jews are the root of evil. I said they are at the root of evil.&quot;  
 
So today&#039;s globalized capitalism is controlled very much by the Jews?  
 
&quot;Since we speak frankly, I will tell you something else. The Jewish people control most of the big symphonic orchestras in the world. When I wrote the Palestinian national anthem, the Boston Symphony was planning a production of my work. It is controlled by Jewish people. They didn&#039;t allow the concert to go on. Since then I cannot work with any great orchestra. They refuse me.&quot;  
 
You ran into this problem with other orchestras too?  
 
&quot;Wherever there are Jews. Wherever there are orchestras controlled by Jewish people, they boycott my work.&quot;  
 
You really feel Jews control much of the music world?  
 
&quot;Yes.&quot;  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first video was funny. It could be rendered black and white and attached to a Groucho Marx movie. Where did they &quot;guard&quot; and the officers get their uniforms? They look like cast-off British army uniforms. Why was the alleged band playing a Russian tune at the end? Did Abbas spend time in Moscow in training, and that was his sentimental pick for the occasion? Given Obama&#039;s tastes in music, I guess he didn&#039;t mind listening to a discordent pretend emsemble of drums and reeds. What a joke. Obama pretending to be a leader, the Palestinians pretending to be a state, with a real band.  ]]></description>
