Storm Track Intimidation: There’s No Gyrating in Islam!

Add gyrating to the list of no-nos for Muslims. It upsets Allah. 

Malaysia's opposition-ruled northern state of Kedah has imposed a ban on rock, reggae, pop and Indonesian 'dangdut' music concerts, saying such shows would negatively influence youth, a news report said on Friday. 

"We do not condone any (gyrating movements) on stage," state councillor Ismail Salleh was quoted as telling the Star daily. 

"We are currently formulating a comprehensive guideline for concerts. "Until then, concerts of such nature are banned," he said. 

I assume all future concerts will be the melodic sound of chanting to Allah. 

Dangdut, which is extremely popular among locals here, is a genre of Indonesian popular music that incorporates Arabic, Indian, and Malay folk music with fast-moving dancing. 

Too bad. The people were having so much fun. But when Allah intrudes into a society, fun must go.
