Who listens to arabic music?
matt88:
Hi, ;)
Im new to the forum and am an australian copt. Anyway here's what im wondering, who here listens to arabic music? yarni music by amr diab, ehab tawfik, hakim, nawal al zoughby etc. I mean i know that soo many copts see arabic music as haram (and personally i think thats silly!) and a lot dont like arabic music just because most artists are muslim. so what do people here think? does anyone here go to see the stars when they have the haflas here?? I mean last year i saw ehab tawfik at a sydney hafla, and it was so disappointing that here is an egyptian superstar and there were virtually no egyptians there, mostly lebanese fans!! i personally think (and no one get offended!) that egyptians were to stingy to pay the money to see him.. even more obvious were that of of few egyptians that were there, apart from me, there were no copts!! very strange! so what are all your thoughts?? :)

we are not the religion of haram and halal... we use these words... but we shouldn’t... we are Christians... you could say inappropriate... you can say not the best for spiritual growth... but don’t say haram... it's not much of a Christian word...

I've never met a person who was like that... I don't like arabic music... and it's not because they are Muslim, or what not...

I wouldn’t waste my money on a concert either... I'd rather go buy some Dave Matthews and John Mayer CDs... but I think its all about the taste of the people's singer... they don’t like that singer that much... than why go...
I dislike Arabic music... even though I like the older songs... but the recent songs I just don’t like... listen to sayed darweesh... he is awesome...

i actually have started a thread like this under random issues and rf_zachari stated some really nice points: Why would you want to listen to something that brings you away from god? You may not notice it, but it affects you subconiously. Its more useful for you to listen to taraneem and tasbeha than it is to listen to ehab tawfiq and nawal el zoghby.... and you cant say you get sick, there's enough to last you a couple of lifetimes
i thank rf_zachari for that pursuasive reply and here I am writing it again...lol

Personally, i LOOOVE arabic music...it's all I ever listen to! prefferably cuz its cleaan (doesnt have anything inappropriate, like the araf songs we have here) I've went to a few concerts (amr diab and nancy 3agram) and i thought it was pretty coool! I dont really feel obligated to "show my support" tho....I went cuz i liked them; not cuz I felt we had to cheer on our 'fellow Egyptian singers'
But Honestly, i think most Egyptians dont go to these things cuz its $ 80.00 + to get inn ;D. . .i dont think its a personal issue of religion or discrimination or what not...just cuz Egyptians r cheap! ::) :P ;) They'd rather stay home (save the gas money) and watch it on their A R T! (save ticket money!) ;D

hey now... why not save Gas money... I pay thirty bucks.. and up for gas... a week.... so thats three weeks worth of gas... that I would waste... and if sayed darweesh, and abd el haleem, and om kalthoum could come back from the dead and make a concert I would go... even if it was a thousand bucks... but now the songs are not so great... so why waste my time, and money...
