Megastar band U2 has stated that their new album will sound very different and that they got their influences from Muslim artists. Specifically, they said that they went to a Sufi concert in Morocco and were blown away by the music.
To put this into perspective, U2 probably the most famous band in the world and has probably been popular longer than blue jeans (ok maybe that’s an exaggeration).
To rock music, U2 being influenced by Muslims is like the effect a US President would have on Western society of he was influenced by Muslims.
This is gonna be big…
SubhanAllah! This will be huge!
