not very likely that he read them. and imam ghazzali's 'opinion' did not say pop music with unislamic cheap lyrics is allowed. he 'allowed' a very narrow opening where he stated that a sheikh can allow his mureed to listen to pleasant 'sounds' if the ibadat/etc has given him a state of mental perplexity. so kindly dont quote the great imam as though he allowed metallica.
sheikh qardawi's opinion is disregarded because it is a minority stray opinion, though he is still a respected scholar .furthermore he gives the ruling of permissiveness. had his ruling be for impermissiveness then one may have considered it.
kindly use the search facility to read two threads: one of them mine, discussing imam ghazzali's stance on music where a modernists' claims have been refuted by ml. abuhajira, and another thread where the moulana again debates a brother called murabit. a nice conclusion to that thread.
