Teaching them about music is a utopia, unfortunately

"We have to educate them why destroying other culture's and religion's icons is not a great idea".

What a great statement. I'm with you on every of your words.

Nothing would make me happy that Islam understood, accept and promote the value of arts such as the music. However, music is an instrument that Shaytan invented to make people get involved into haram things (adultery, fornication, alcohol, and so on). Thus, Music is forbidden.

Prashant, you're very right about the chickens. After so many things going on in Europe, and the whole world actually, it is easy to fall into standing on what's not correct and for what we weren't raised for to do. We know better. Let's give them a sound role model to imitate. Let's them do their chickens thing, but let's educate them on why arts, for instance, are one of the most precious treasure of humanity. And what makes us special, and humans, indeed.

Thanks for your very insightful post.
