Egypt Popular Uprising Inspires Hip Hop

 

"Produced by Sami Matar, a Palestinian-American composer from Southern California, and featuring the likes of Freeway, The Narcicyst, Omar Offendum, HBO Def Poet Amir Sulaiman, and Canadian R&B vocalist Ayah - this track serves as a testament to the revolution's effect on the hearts and minds of today's youth, and the spirit of resistance it has come to symbolize for oppressed people worldwide."

"The Promise" by John Schneider

WOW I had no idea John Schneider was a singer, besides being that blond hottie on The Dukes of Hazzard way back when.  And he's pretty darn good too!

All we are saying.......

This one's for my friend Asma.

How to anger a Muslim and then call him a terrorist

Watch this....and remember, "he who laughs last, laughs best".

Don't worry, be happy!

Hey remember that old tune?  Ever wonder what happened to the guy who sang it?

Well, apparently he got so tired of hearing that tune, he actually couldn't stand it anymore after hearing about it so much and even started hating it so much that he disappeared into the sunset, not to be heard of for a long long time.

Can you imagine?

Isolation

Sometimes you just have say F#@* it!!!!

 

People say we got it made
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation

We're afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
Isolation

Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation

The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
Isolation

I don't expect you to understand
After you've caused so much pain
But then again, you're not to blame
You're just a human, a victim of the insane

We're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation

The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
Isolation

The Taqwacores - "The Catcher in the Rye" for young Muslims gives birth to Muslim punk rock

  The Taqwacores is the latest literary sensation to inspire rebellious Muslim youth across America, launching a new kind of Muslim subculture.  It's 100% American and 100% Muslim and it may be coming to a theater near you real soon.

 

 

Young Muslims build a subculture on an underground

 

Muhammad Knight was born an Irish Catholic in upstate New York and converted to Islam as a teenager. He studied at a mosque in Pakistan but became disillusioned with Islam after learning about the sectarian battles after the death of Muhammad.

He said he wrote The Taqwacores to mend the rift between his being an observant Muslim and an angry American youth. He found validation in the life of Muhammad, who instructed people to ignore their leaders, destroy their petty deities and follow only Allah.
