67. Certain nominally Islamic sects do, I'm pretty sure.

Edited on Sat Feb-05-11 08:57 PM by miscsoc

But I don't think mainstream or historical Islam has ever banned music. Perhaps someone who knows more can clarify this.

Due to ignorance about Islam (of which I am fairly guilty), nutters can claim that their own bizarre preferences are 'Islamic' and shared by other Muslims. I don't know who these people are, or what offshoot of Islam they belong to, but their reactionary preferences definitely shouldn't be indulged, and I've never heard of Muslims not wanting their daughters to learn music before.
