London Muslim Children Taken Out of Music Lessons

Hundreds of Muslim parents are withdrawing children from music lessons because their beliefs forbid them from learning an instrument. The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said music lessons were potentially unacceptable to about 10% of Muslims. This could equate to hundreds of Muslim children being withdrawn from the lessons, the MCB said. It said passages from a collection of the Prophet Mohammed's teachings banned instruments. ARTICLE
