Makes me wish there was a similar video from America saying "Bush is not us." But the point from both sides should be tolerance. I have respect for anyone who chooses whatever religion they want, or none if they prefer. Really all any person really wants is the ability to go about enjoying their lives and having a family. The message comes from so many different people's that you'd think people could accept that as a starting point for a dialog leading to tolerance.
Someone one wrote:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
I don't believe that applies to one nation, but applies in how one person should treat all of humankind.
Yes you're right. Imagine if there was any mass media pop music that was opposed to Bush. That would be.......amazing?
Duh.
Because he's still over at Glenn Greenwald's "Islamist" thread trying to convince the rational world that every single Muslim in the world is committed to death, mayhem and the destruction of America...
But then, of course, GoldenBoy and his fellow Islamophobes at Salon will say that this is just some sort of cynical plot, designed to ease us all into complacency, while the "creeping evil of islam" takes over and subjugates us all...

Bottomline, no embassies were burned to the ground. Ok it's breathtaking how fucking tolerant they are. Ya sold me.
One prominent anti-Bush video was Eminem's "Mosh", released right before the 2004 election. The youth vote was way up in 2004... It almost worked... almost.

the mullahs won,t like it and the comment thereon passed by Mr.Andrew Leonard needs certain improvements. at the first place the word 'Mullah' IN ARABIC DICTION MEANS a person possessing the professional or skilled knowledge in religious affiars. incidentaly, due to the present political mixing the word MULLAH has been either misrepresented or misused.if the meaning to the context as given or conveyed by you is that the some one not knowning or accepting the truth is intended then for the accuracy of arabic linguistics the title ought to be'ARROGANT WON,T LIKE IT' the blasting of lal masjid at lahore and other related acts are nonetheless. connected with the ideology of islam for which the singers might have taken some different or apologictic form to explain it.however, scholarily debates and exhuastive literature even duly produced by spainish islamic scholars would itself explain that islam is based on acceptable human values and propogates the messageof global brotherhood.this is irrespective of the fact whether muslim kings/rulers in muslim societies follow it or not.thanks.
