		She discusses the role of background music in "erotic situations", notably Ravel‘s Bolero which she says "lasts for fifteen minutes and as an icon of erotic temporality can stand for the tone, pacing and duration of the real time sexual event".
		Webb says "sound became a complex, shared, expressive medium, evidenced by the inter-racial participation in particular music contexts and genres" but "neither the meanings of performances and sound worlds nor the co-operation in performance contexts between various social or racial collectivities is easily reducible to either colonial compliance or resistance".
		He concludes that "music and text are not the two autonomous and opposing fields they seem but relative gravitational centres within the streams of human communication".

		Known as Muslim rap, this new musical phenomenon strikes a chord especially with African-Americans who make up about a third of all Muslims in the United States.
		The group behind the sound is Native Deen, three fl men in the Washington, D.C., area who grew up as devout Muslims and want to use their talents to inspire other young people to keep the faith amid the pressures and temptations of modern life.
		Because many Muslims believe that the teachings of the prophet Muhammad forbid the playing of most musical instruments, Native Deen uses only traditional drums in its live performances.

	IS MUSIC HARAAM
		WHO DECLARE MUSIC AS Music is another of those activities, which has been declared by some narrow-minded, myopic, bigoted, spoilsport apostles of self-righteous Islam as Haraam in whatever form without qualification.
		Singing and music have always been an integral part of people's life expression, and taking this away from them means either to impoverish them culturally or to breed hypocrisy by forcing them to deny their musical inclinations publicly whilst at the same time satisfying them secretly with the material borrowed from other cultures.
		Music in Islam ought to be uplifting and encourage the reflection of truth and the service of the Creator, and may not be corrupting and inciting base instincts.

	ZA@Play - Music: Rocking to the call of Islam 17/12/99 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		GC's musical rebirth is very much akin to that of singer Cat Stevens who, after embracing Islam in 1979 and changing his name to Yusuf Islam, renounced a legendary music career in favour of an unadorned Islamic lifestyle.
		The problem with the forms of Islamic music available today, he says, is that they are the results of Arab, Indian, Pakistani or Persian influence, having little if anything in common with the experiences of young Muslims living in countries such as South Africa.
		The point of his music, according to GC, is "to get youngsters involved in the Islam of the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad", instead of chasing them away.
