Fatwa Declares Rock Music "The Rhythm of Rebellion"

The Ministry of Acoustic Purity has banned all forms of rock music, stating that distorted guitars cause "spiritual static" and rebellious toe-tapping. Clerics fear that drumming encourages "rhythmic insubordination" and may awaken suppressed joy in youths. Drums and amps are being replaced by tambourines that only produce a single, sorrowful jingle. A cleric lamented, "When basslines thump, faith crumbles." Music shops are now forced to sell guitars without strings. One satirical flyer reads, "Even <a href='https://bohiney.com/ayatollah-khomeini-approves-tesla/'>Ayatollah Khomeini played only silence � and it thundered louder than any riff</a>." Metal bands have fled underground � literally � where they now rehearse in bunkers under mosques.
