You do not know as much about the founders of the USA as you think you do.That's a laugh
Have you ever heard of Oliver Cromwell?
NB. I assume so, as you're such an 'expert' in history

Now it could be that you're translation is more accurate than theirs, but if I could place a bet, my money would be with those guys.
We've already told you that the contents of brackets are not literally translated.
If you wish to say that you agree with their commentary/implied meaning, that's fine. Not everybody speaks English, you know

Sorry, I don't know what you mean .. Oliver Cromwell established parliamentary authority, ending the authority of King Charles I in the UK

Not sure what your comment about English speakers means in this case. This IS an English translation, that's a given. As for me saying "intent" and you saying "implied meaning", can I take that to mean we're largely agreeing here? If you want me to say: "The translators added the parenthetical clause in order to convey the implied meaning of the original", I'd be happy with that. In which case I'd say that my original claim about Allah's take on music was correct.

Good. However, Muslims don't have to go round with a long face, and music is not totally forbidden.
It all depends on the type of music. Some say stringed instruments aren't allowed, quoting hadith.
Almighty God has given us intelligence to use .. there is no need to be extreme and become a paranoid schizoid

So does that mean you pick and choose which parts of Islam to follow? If so, that would be a welcome relief!
