Many thanks to MEMRI for the original clip, and to Vlad Tepes for uploading this video:
At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe.
We are in a new phase of a very old war.

So singing is categorically forbidden by Islamic law. Why am I not surprised.
I wonder how long it will be till the non-discrimination mafia in Canada and Australia will forbid singing in kindergartens and schools as such joyous activity would offend Muslims? Remember, Islamic truth is the only truth that matters - anything to the contrary is hate speech.
Singing forbidden! That's so shocking to hear! Music being an art and an activity of recreation connects the body to the soul.
Molten lead in the ears.
@0:32 host asks, "Singing is forbidden?!"
To which the turbanned one replies, "Yes, The kind of singing prevalent in our Arab region and even in Europe..."
The devout turbanned one appears to think his ideals should hold sway IN EUROPE as DocRaven mentions above.
But it would be okay if the lyrics were truthful, right?
So "Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer" and "Frosty the Snowman" are out, but there's no problem with "Oh, Holy Night" or "Joy to the World", for instance.
Right?
Try going Christmas carol singing in Tower Hamlets... great fun! :D
So what about that horrendous cacophony from your minarets five times per day?
