This song really seems a little dissilusioned, or at least sends two different messages, whether it does that on purpose or not, im not sure. The whole " bombs explode on the 30 bus" and "airplanes crash into towers" bring up the ugly fact that Islam provokes violence and and instills a desire to control in uts followers; ruling through fear is a very common thing in Islamic societies "fear will keep us all in place". So in this sense he would be right in pointing out the evils of Islam, and based on the tune, it seems that would be the message he is trying to send. On the other hand, this could be your typical liberal load of crap wherein, although Muslims continue to attempt to rule the world through terror, we as "open minded/civil" human beings should accept Islam as a good thing and that we should stop speaking against it because it really is a "peaceful religion". Well big news-its not a peaceful religion, so in this sense its incorrect.

perhaps a little research will help to clear up your misunderstanding about a society that you've only heard about through the biased filter of media.

Hazeezah is right in saying media is biased. It is extremely LIBERAL.

And as for "only hearing" about this society through "biased filter": i spent 14 years in a Muslim nation. I know what i am talking about.
