I don't blame him. (Nice to see a positive story.) Congratulations to all moderates, as this is the true path to peace. Moderation!

Doesn't music go against Islam? I'd think Hamas would want to murder him.

Gaza is his hometown and his trip to Dubai is temporary to record a song for a Kuwaiti series .. he has busy agenda in the coming weeks .... in terms of Islam; it doesnt ban all kinds of music except the immoral one ... in Gaza the Hamas gov't gave him a reception and police escort to make his movements easy

...for the Nobel Peace prize.

Congratulations Mr. Assaf , since all Palestinians and others like you that much, Will you please make a peaceful song special for the kids , song about love and care and education and peace and bright future .
