Quite the voice....drones on like elevator muzak....and for the devout, this no doubt serves as a reflective meditative backdrop with a sweet voice like his....

is it weird that i want to sample this and put it over a fast, minimalist, booty-bounce house-music track?

Each to their own bamdrew!

I've heard the Qur'an over hip hop beats but never anything faster from the Western world.

"get this terrorist message out of here!" - lobododo, please don't fill up this website with ignorant messages of hate - they won't be tolerated, whether they are made by Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, or those of others faiths. Instead of labelling everyone who is Muslim as a terrorist, why don't you actually watch the clip. The imam in question is not an extremist and if you bothered to look at the clip you will see that what he is reciting from the Qur'an is poetic and beautiful. Nothing in these verses of the Qur'an could be used to justify terrorism. Instead they are used to encourage Muslims to look beyond themselves and to be charitable - It's a lesson you could learn!

I got to do several shows recently with an Ismaili muslim sect. Talk about a fabulous variety of beautiful and skillfully performed art forms! Most of us have heard of "Whirling Dervishes", but to see them in action?! Fuhgeddaboudit!
