"lash out at arab culture(?)" please save the histrionics. no culture is sacred or immune to criticism. the song ARABIAN NIGHTS is intelligent and thoughtful in it's critique and based on historical fact. white slavery, repression and deviant sex, oil spills, misogyny, all especially visible in arab culture past and present. siouxsie can trash ANY culture with accuracy and style, and she does. siouxsie "lashes out" at western culture in almost every song she writes, and we should be thankful, she is one of the few doing it intelligently. should poor little defenseless arab culture be protected from big bad souixsie? dry your tears, i think arab culture can survive the occasional criticism. in fact lack of criticism means no possibiltiy of change or growth. siouxsie's ARABIAN NIGHTS represents some of the best criticism there is, insightful, compelling, and most important of all, it is great music.
@skinner this reply is racist. She can comment on thing things happening in the world. But not in a disgustingly racist vulgar and generalizing way. It pushes the Arab stereotypes and generalizes it. She's not immune to criticism and she's not some Martyr. There's a difference between criticism and plain out racism
