HAMAS WILL PROBABLY NOT LIKE ROCK AND ROLL EITHER. The BBC interviews 3 Palestinian Arabs about life in Gaza. One is a musician:
I lead a group of 26 musicians - we play traditional Palestinian music. But for the last two months we haven't been able to work.

Hamas have already beaten one of my singers for singing for Fatah

This group, Hamas, believe they are the leaders of Islam. The violin, piano, flute, all these instruments are banned. Only the drum is allowed. They say any other instrument is not mentioned in the Koran.
That may limit the repertoire a bit.

If someone commits adultery though, I suspect that they might favor rock.
