Looks like ayatollah Cockamamie has NO SOUL!!! How sad for iranians Trapped in their own country Led By Forces Of EVIL!!! The Should Support Green Movement and bring the iranians back into the international fold?

Traditional Iranian [or Jewish] music or great classical music can be lofty and spiritual, while some music may be offensive. Society needs a sense of jusgment regarding music.

Music can cross boundaries and bring people closer. In the days of the Shah I attended a concert of Iranian music in one of London's great concert halls. It felt like a Sephardi wedding. A concert by the Red Army band felt like a Litvish wedding, even down the male dancing!

Does that mean that Iranians may not study music? Classical piano? What about Iranian Jews, Bahai, Zoroastrians who have no religious issues with classical music? Are they prohibited from studying and enjoying music, too? Some "higher values" of the Islamic Republic's "holy" regime. The only thing "holy" about Iran's regime is that its governing doctrine is full of holes.
