Do muslims sing?
No, they wear oversized novelty thimbles, and they whirl:
If the book of Apocalypse is religion on a bad trip, sufiism is religion on a good trip.
Sufism was the only religion I joined . About 3 years in my twenties before I defaulted back to my apatheistic world view. The Sufi's are the flower children of Islam. Some are more orthodox like the Dervishes. Some are real hippies like Sufi Sam's bunch in the Bay area. That is who I associated with. No rules at all. Eat, smoke, drink, sex. No restrictions. The main precept was very Zen. Everything you think, is wrong. So, thinking scotch is good is wrong. Thinking scotch is bad is wrong also.
Had a lot of fun. Even joined in the Whirling a few times. Drank a bit of scotch too.
So, there is music and singing in some Islamic orders. We sang Hindu, Shaker, Christian songs. The Dervish music goes on for hours and can become improvisational depending on the emotions whirling around.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
