I don't think that instruments are evil, but that it depends on how it is used, because music can also be inspirational and uplifting, when it is positive and puts out truthful messages. I used to play instruments as well, and it always felt like being able to do that was a gift that is meant to help bring joy. So, I think it just depends on how it is used and what effect it has. Also, scripture does not anywhere prohibit musical instruments from what I've read. I know there is a place in the Bible where people's use of instruments was spoken about negatively (they made instruments like David), but as I read it it was because they used this to amuse themselves while they were not listening to God's Warnings, to repent of their sins. So to me what made sense that it meant that to them, because of what they were being like, it because of their own deeds served as a willful distraction. They used musical instruments as a method to deafen themselves to God's Guidance and were ignoring Him. So, that then became a snare that they made for themselves. But, it could probably also be like that with almost anything. However, there are also instances in Scripture where music was used in positive ways (like when David played the harp to help calm down Saul) and people had uplifting and inspirational / positive songs. I do like music with positive lyrics, that I can listen to. But when something is evil, you can feel it and that it's not good to listen to it, so that should then logically be avoided. I believe it's probably just up to how we decide to make use of our free-will, that will determine if the outcome it will be good or evil.

A song can also get stuck in one's head after having heard it, so that can go either way. If it's positive, it can have a positive effect. But the reverse is also true, that if negative then the effect is going to be negative, or at the very least annoying. We know that satan loves to invert and subvert every good idea that is out there. But satan can only be successful because people allow it or when they are on his side.

I know some people believe that music is completely haram, probably based on certain hadiths. Maybe because of that, to them (or anyone of like mind) it is better to avoid it for the sake of their conscience. But, I also don't think I know what the total answer is and could be wrong. If instruments are indeed "somewhat evil", then I don't understand why God gives people the gift to be able to make music (or musical instruments). Cars for instance can then probably be considered to be "evil" too, if everyone that drives them cause harm to others by their doing so. So, I feel like it is therefore probably up to us, and how we choose to use cars as an example.

That is true, and honestly, I have a very hard time giving up listening to music, but thank God I have stopped listening to hip-hop, rock 'n' roll, heavy metal and other "suspicious music genres," especially mainstream music for that matter.
So all that is left are the soundtracks from movies I usually listen to when I hit the gym, but let me tell you right now that music can, indeed distract you from doing God's work or praying, especially if there's this one specific song that is stuck in your head while you're, I don't know, whether it's the church, the mosque, you try to concentrate and have a conversation with God etc. It can definitely affect your life.
I wouldn't 100% say it's evil, but it can be a bad distraction now and then if that makes sense.

It could be. But what I believe the author is getting at, is that he is now able to see clearly something about it that he was not able to see before at the time they called America the great satan. Now it's become obvious, as things are now much worse. Also, towards the end of the article he points out that it is not to say that America is literally Satan, but that the people who are in charge of it's institutions have become satanic, and have been using the power of America to project satanic influence not only throughout America, but also to the rest of the world. The same thing has been going on in the UK, because the leaders are corrupt and evil.

"America" is only a part of this agenda due to the Western European/Zionists/Kabalists/etc. who brought this nonsense here. Now, after being under constant assault from these agenda's, our people are degenerating to the point these situations become too evident to ignore.

Should Muslims be concerned about Andrew Tate giving them a bad image?

This Andrew Tate fiasco is a psy-op and many born-and-bred "Muslims" suddenly cant see that he has them co-signing all his haraam behavior. Or rather they see it, this is who they have been all along, and now they feel they have sufficient cover to come out of the closet. Notice how Tate looked like a shriveled old man with exposed hair plugs in the infamous picture in which he is holding a Quaran as he was shuffled to and from court proceedings? Ask yourself, how did he suddenly become bigger and more ripped in 1-2 days after his release when he started posting on twitter again? It was Ramadan, and that fool was posting himself walking around almost naked, listening to drill rap while smoking cigars... his cadre of morons have now been charged with even stiffer crimes against women in Romania... so he fits right in with the majority of born-and-bred "Muslims" eh?
