Self wrote:Suck a dick. If you bothered reading, you'd realize that nowhere in here did I say that music is objective. It is not subjective appreciation that I take issue with; it's the naive idea that all music is good music if it expresses emotion (and variations on that idea). There's no denying that there's a huge area of subjective appreciation in music, as in any form of art. But in any form of art, there are also objective standards, and if a song doesn't operate within these objective standards (creative use of line, creative use of metaphor, creative use of language, multiplicity of meaning, authenticity of voice), it's usually drivel.

You already said opinions can be wrong, somewhere. If someone has an opinion that all Muslims are terrorists, they're opinion is objectively wrong.

I think that's a misuse of the word opinion. That not all Muslims are terrorists is a quantifiable fact. You can't really have an opinion on facts.

If you are Muslim, you should not only be allowed to listen to music but encouraged to listen to music.

What if you're not Muslim?
