Disturbed were set to play the venue Forest National in Brussels, Belgium, on October 15th as part of “The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour,” but it now appears that show will not take place. A local mayor has ordered a ban on the show over safety concerns tied to frontman David Draiman’s support of Israel.
Charles Spapens, mayor of Forest, a municipality of Brussels, issued the following statement, per The Brussels Times: “My responsibility and priority are the safety of residents, neighbors, demonstrators, spectators and staff at Forest National. Given the police’s negative advice and the venue’s unique location, it was my duty to make this decision.”
His decision came after a police risk assessment warned that Draiman’s appearance could lead to violent demonstrations around the venue. It was also influenced by a national strike set to take place a day earlier in Brussels, as well as the anticipation of other demonstrations that may occur in the area.
Draiman, who is Jewish, has been an outspoken supporter of Israel for years, but it appears that it’s the photos of him signing Israel Defense Forces (IDF) missiles he tweeted in June 2024 with the hashtag “#FuckHamas” that raised the most concern for Mayor Spapens and local authorities.
Those photos came to light again earlier this year when Draiman engaged in a war of words with pro-Palestinian UK hip-hop band Kneecap.

Tell me about the Black Cube of Saturn, why do the Jews wear it?

Why though?

>>128038502
I thought the black cube was muslim?

I'm surprised anyone cares enough about "Disturbed" to even know this. I certainly had no idea about this guy's views on Israel.

>>128038502
Someone told me they put a spell in the hat. There’s a little piece of paper in there with something written on it

>>128038579

Why doesn't he move it to Antwerp's diamond district instead?

>>128038669
I know that. Surprised they still play and are able to get people to pay actual money to listen to them.

Jihadists are threatening to kill him just because he took a picture with some Jews?

Islam doesnt even listen to music, its Haram according to them. Why are they such faggots about musicans?

Why are so many rappers Muslim then?

>>128038763
male voice is permitted, same reason they have chants, not for females tho they are not allowed to sing, women cant sing and their concerns don't hold weight unless echoed by a male. When a woman gets raped they need 3 male witnesses otherwise her word is of lower value than the man who raped her.

Nu-Metal is in revival since zoomers watched Woodstock '99 and now think Nu-Metal was ever cool

Maybe Palestinians are the evil side if you can't be supportive of Israel.

>>128038579
there's a dance remix of their Sound Of Silence cover that was pretty big over there last year:

#7 France
#10 Belgium
#10 Slovakia
#11 Luxembourg
#12 Netherlands
#12 Norway
#13 Poland
#13 Switzerland
#18 Hungary

Wow, that's a a lot of gloss. Brussels is majority muslim now and THAT is the reason. Muslims usually can't control their anger because they're the products of hundreds of years of inbreeding. It would be funny if someone shot the jew on stage though. Or suicide bombed the stage.

>>128039320
>Brussels is majority muslim now
20% isn't the majority
>Muslims usually can't control their anger
says the guy who thinks suicide bombings are "funny"

>>128039480
Presumably he heard the thing about Brussels being minority Belgian and just like all /pol/brains assumed that meant its all muslim people.

>>128038734
Huh? What about Arabesque or all that lute folk music?

>>128038579
It's only because there are so few unapologetically Zionist artists. Guy like Draiman gets in and fills that void, gets highlighted by Israel which is generally clueless about pop culture, and at best indifferent vis-a-vis Western moral concerns, then the seething and dilating proceeds apace. From has-been to hasbara.

>>128038734
There are different opinions on music in Islam. Some say it’s allowed to an extent, others say not allowed at all, some say the subject material of the music is what makes it allowed or not. You need to do more research

>>128038831
What chants? What are you talking about?
It’s 2 male Muslim eyewitnesses btw, or 2 female Muslim eyewitnesses for each male

I don’t think religion is so important for this discussion, it’s adjacent to it but the facts are that David Draiman by supporting ethno nationalism and genocide has drawn the ire of the public at large, therefore the show’s cancelled

>>128038460 (OP)
me on the right

>>128038734
Islam in theory and Islam in practice are two different things. Go to any Muslim majority neighbourhood in your country and you'll find them listening to music and selling/taking drugs. They lie about praying 5 times a day too and a ton of them drink in private, they lie a lot in general.

>>128038650
I believe it, they keep little spell jars by the doorways of their homes too.

>>128039946
Some people don’t follow their religion perfectly and that’s on them personally. Arguing that the religion is bad because some people aren’t following it properly is a pretty weak argument, there’s plenty of people who do follow it as best they can and it’s easy to follow.
Anyway, like I said here >>128039834 the topic is about an artist being denied work due to his personal beliefs not where music fits into Islam or Islam in general, the only thing Islam has to do with this topic is most of the Palestinians are Muslim (it’s trivial)

>>128038763
because it's not music
