Now that's some depressing music, merudanda. Muslim forgiveness music is suitably mournful for feeling shitty about your sins. It seems as though a fundamentalist Muslim's only hope for happiness is paradise in the afterlife. They're not much different from fundamentalist Christians who live in fear of a wrathful God manifesting his power willy-nilly, killing thousands in a tsunami. Then just to let everyone know he means business, God miraculously inscribes his name on a feather, in a bee hive, and in clouds floating in the sky. A Muslim's belief in signs of God power to smite or redeem is reminiscent of the fundamentalist Christian who bid $28,000 on Ebay for a decade-old toasted cheese sandwich bearing the image of the Virgin Mary.
