I may have mentioned that music is evidence for the existence of God. There is no evolutionary purpose behind music. It is simply for our pleasure and enjoyment. Does this prove that God created the universe and us? No, but it is an intriguing idea. Furthermore, if music is evidence of God the Creator, then it makes sense that Muslims would hate music. And sure enough... I have also stated that Muslims worship the Devil. So, it makes sense that they also try to destroy everything that God builds.
So, it is interesting that reports indicate that in Germany, music classes are being cancelled in schools, supposedly because for Muslim students it is forbidden. You can read about it at the American Thinker entitled Is the music finally over in Germany? by Eric Utter.
It is especially grievious to me because so many great great composers were German. I realize that the modern state of Germany is a recent invention, but the whole area from Prussia to Austria spoke a common language.
Germany produced far more than its share of great composers: Bach, Handel, Telemann, Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Strauss, Wagner, and the list goes on. (Not to mention Engelbert Humperdinck or Nena!) To see its rapid cultural degradation and loss of identity is honestly heartbreaking, even from the perspective of a nation that twice defeated it in war.
Martin Luther was also German and a composer of "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God," a truly rousing hymn.
