Lowkey | Afghanistan: Troops out now protest | 20 November 2010 | London

[ayub116]

gives speeches, raps, poet, political what cant dis guy do

[TheFunnyClippers]

24 dislikes BY PAKIS

[PASHTONYAR]

this dude clearly doesn't know the societies of the east. did he just say "these people [pashtuns] don't recognize Afghanistan and Pakistan both" lol. tsk tsk

[SkamGame]

@PASHTONYAR No he said they don't recognise the borders.. learn to listen?

[PASHTONYAR]

@SkamGame You are telling me that at 1:17 he doesn't say that "Pashtons do not consider themselves from Afghanistan". This dude should stick to his whole Iraqi/Palestinian scene. He clearly doesn't have a clue about central Asian affairs. And, please don't get carried away by the annoying female cheering in the background. They are probably Mcdonald's production themselves. Pashton's not considering themselves Afghans or from Afghanistan would be like "oh English are not British" lol

[habib080]

@PASHTONYAR today we Pashtuns say we're from Afghanistan, but if you do your research, Ahmad Shah BABA (A Pashtun king back in the 1700s) controlled/conquered much of Asia (from the northeastern side of Iran to some parts of India).THIS LAND was called "Khorasan,". Later Pakistan was created because there was too many wars with Hindus from India. So Pakis are Indian, with Afghan residents (pahktuns/pashtuns). So a real Pashtun would know about Khorasan.BUT now a Pashtun is an Afghan technically

[smartphoenix96]

Pushtoon Pride <3 all the way

Lowkey is my idol

[smartphoenix96]

So I read a tumblr post about how when you type in " Muslims are..." in Google

you get all these negative results like “…barbaric, bad , sick” And i tried it and its true…

So im thinking if all of us go on Google and search for “Muslims are awesome”

We can soon get it to be the top result… kinda like how Kevjumba did his “is Kevjumba a homosexual bear wrestler”

Lets try atleast :)))) to prove we won’t stand for these labels

-Aisha ;)

[INY79]

i can see Lowkey has lots of female fans ;) big up lowkey best UK rapper and spits and talks the truth

[bust99391018]

lONG LiVE AFGANISTAN!!!!

Thnks lowkey!!

[salmasexynose]

go and live in iraq you shit skinned yterror lover

[fiftyninechickens]

@salmasexynose Opposing British imperialism does not make you a 'terror lover'. If there was a white, English guy standing up there talking about the thought of 'terrorist' would not of come to your mind. The media has done this to you. Now i'm sure you have very fucked up parents aswell that teach you this shit.. And you most probably had the daily mail read to your as your bedtime story. Your ignorance is embarrassing and ludercris. And I hope one day, you will realise.

[FireForEffect94]

@salmasexynose im Irish and christian. i dont agree with everything he says,and you obviously don't either,but racist comment without actually making any argument about the points hes making just makes you look like a retard.

[bonohood]

@FireForEffect94 up the ira

[Mr1AFG1]

Proud of being Afghan(Pathan)

[hotchoccolate23]

well said brother! love peace n solidarity! they cant stop us all

[aishaabutt]

do you know what i really like is that this guys is not afghani or pakistani, hes iraqi and british, but still he throws that out the window and sticks up for his fellow muslims init

[dubnutterpothead]

@aishaabutt yeh but he aint stickin up for muslims - he stickin up for mans who get rained on. take that however you want, but know it's the truth..

[2010Kandahar]

Every single word every single phrase of Lowkey is true.

[TheSAZ007]

I love intelligent people. Thank you Lowkey for continuing the fight for peace WORLDWIDE.

[11h4]

this guy speaks for huanity not for countries or races..just humanity

[oldgonzo22]

cant blame the troops there just following orders , its the goverment that needs to be blamed . im from the uk and i respect lowkeys views and others . its the people of the countries involed that need to make goverments respect are wishes . lets get are lads home an stop following the u.s into conflicts .religion is being used as a weapon and ppl with half a brain should know that no god would condone murder . its time for ppl to understand that where all the same, were all human ,god or no god

[0oo11oo0]

can someone quickly summarize what he stands for because im confused, does he support british troops or is he against them ? what do all his messages stand for ? whats is he against ?

[0165Hiphop]

@0oo11oo0 he's against nothinh he is for thruth and peace and eqaulity

there are ony people against him =)

[trapbrap123]

Im A Pashtoon..

Its All About Lowkey

[tompeskett]

@trapbrap123 You're clearly not. If you were you'd be a Pashtun....not 'Pashtoon'

[Bidds12]

It is wrong to equate the Afghan and Iraq war with British imperialism. I would not say the situation in these countries is comparable to the conditions faced by say the Indians or Africans under Queen Victoria - consider the role of ISAF.

Dissent is an essential part of the democratic process, yet it always makes me laugh when I hear the word 'fascist' or 'dictatorship' levelled at the workings of our own government.

As for this speech; it was jumbled and largely pointless. Stick to grime.

[anjemchoudary5]

i m a muslim. and lowkey fancies the queen ..he doesnt speak for muslims

[DigitalDistribution]

the dictionary was all this guy could afford before britain took him in with open arms, that why he's spouting words like imperialism because he clearly forgot about the persian empire, thats why his religion spread out so far.

[rippiton]

someone tell me is this straight up anti british or anti british foreign policy ? sorry if im missing the point

[Iwatchedyourvideo]

british imperialism has given quite a lot to the world actually like Australia :D trade language and rails ways

[SeeN0More]

@Iwatchedyourvideo don't forget it killed alot of native australians, cough cough.

[Iwatchedyourvideo]

@SeeN0More and gave the world vaccines which saved thousands of lives even to this day

[SeeN0More]

@Iwatchedyourvideo there is no arguing with you pan imperialist.

[Iwatchedyourvideo]

@SeeN0More Don't mean to argue just making a point, you can't say 'THIS IS BAD ' when clearly good things came of it as well it's just pathetic and ignorant. Take the good with the bad

[hassmann2000]

Awesome dude. Loads of respect.

He says all facts.

[mambo29]

I condemn the war but I thought Bush decided to go in then Blair followed cos he was his puppet effectively?

The empire was chauvinistic and wrong, as were all empires, but it did not do "nothing", it some things.

Lowkey makes a rousing speech but I doubt his political/historical knowledge is up to scratch as is the case with most celebs who think they know 'politics'

Note: Direct Action will also only fuel media bias, Millbank was a prime example.

[BowmanHath31]

@Jo0osh1 You stupid as hell

[freeeeelibyan]

شكر لك he is the best

[TheLagunaSunrise]

@welshrarebeats I've never been detained for no reason. I've never been detained. Break the law, you get punished. Very simple concept to understand, even for you. lol

[TheLagunaSunrise]

And what has MUSLIM IMPERIALISM brought the world, Mr. Lowkey? Is this man even aware of MUSLIM IMPERIALISM? How does he think islam spread across Africa? Across the middle-east? Across the east into Persia & the regions around Persia? Into South-East Asia? Will he be fighting THIS IMPERIALISM? lol

Does Mr. Lowkey care about the discrimination of non-muslims in the muslim world? CHRISTIANS & JEWS were walking the land of the middle-east BEFORE ISLAM EVEN EXISTED.

[TheLagunaSunrise]

Too much worthless rhetoric from this guy. And the end of each sentence, he just wanted to raise a cheer from the crowd. He wasn't specific. He rambled on about nothing. Utterly worthless. This degenerate 'poet' (LOL) has no idea about real poetry. He think it's just about rhyming one word with another. Yawn...

[theoneali]

@DigitalDistribution britain was and is a complete shithole

[boomchilds]

@theoneali

Nice little gathering of white flag wavers here.

Britain a shit hole? Yeah ok. But one who's people invented 55 percent of everything we use in modern society. Including the world wide web and the language you're writing in. Funny right?

That must really hurt.

[theoneali]

@boomchilds whats amusing is that you believe such b.s

[Mizzarrk]

Lowkey for Prime minister.

[RedLine441]

This guy speaks as though 'British Imperialism' was all bad and nothing came out of it.

Of course bad things came out of it but you cannot forget that British imperialism has helped shape the modern world as it is today.

[learn99toswim]

@welshrarebeats ...police state in the uk ... what twat ..dont break the law ..

[nakibx]

i hate those girls that scream in the background when he's saying some serious stuff....grow up!!

[DuckyVideos]

I have an itchy dick.

[boomchilds]

@welshrarebeats

Yeah pull the troops out now!

The taliban can get back to locking women up, away from an education and prying eyes. Put them back on the street with a kicked out abortion at their feet. Back to hanging people by their angles beating with a chain pulling their eyes out till they're forced to speak.

Thier last words, You ignorant prick.

[DnBDaily]

That was a weak attempt. 

[purdy1985]

what have the romans done for us?

[RedLine441]

@purdy1985 'what have the romans done for us?'

Did you really just ask that question?

[learn99toswim]

maybe these people might have watched panorama tonight ...

[popazz1]

and this young man wouldn't be allowed to voice his opinions if it wasn't for the fact he's living in a democracy! so,some 'rapper' stand s with a mic' and decides he's going to talk about a redundant anachronism of which he clearly knows very little.we have moved on from imperialsim.we had 2 world wars,men fought & died so this lad can spout his bile! go do something useful,fella!

[EDEsouth]

lol this happens if you let people listen to a "rapper"... this fool doesnt know what he is talking about,.

[dancingpill]

He's vile. If not for western intervention or "imperialism" as he calls it the Taliban would be violating the human rights of all of his people. Or does he conveniently forget the massacre of 2,000 Afghans, the bombings of girls schools etc? Does he blame western imperialism for the atrocities committed by the Taliban? The "occupied" countries are being handed over to their respective governments. HOW IS THAT IMPERIALISTIC? Go die you idiot.

[josevanreyes]

@dancingpill You and i both no British and American troops are not there "to save the oppressed women!" Aint they there to kill Bin Laden? The immortal boogeyman!

[dancingpill]

This guy is so misguided and has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. If he wants to talk about equality for all and supremacy for none then he should look a little closer to home at Iran. Fucking idiot... Does this kid even know what imperialism means?

[animaniac222]

What has British Imperialism given to the world?

... the aqueducts?

[scoocheeful]

If Britain is going to be blamed for what happened 50 years ago then either Britain needs to start acting like a proper Imperialist nation again, or all the whining lefties & weak minded need to shut the fuck up, grow up & take responsibility for the fuck up they have made of their own countries.

Pashtun, Jewish, Palastinian, Afghan, all just words for people to hide behind while they act like retards & murderers, while the long gone British Empire takes the blame for their stupidity.

[heavymetaldeath4life]

Wow, those stupid bitches in the background have no idea what he's talking about.

[okuma0kuma]

lowkey perhaps should actually visit the places to collect evidence instead buying in to old propaganda of radioactive materials being left behind in afghanistan long before western troops went in there ,also maybe unaware but such charity's as redcross and oxfam that supported pakistan when its government did not for as long as i was learning the alphabet the british give you freedom of speech and most likely aided in supporting one or more your aunts or uncles yet you hate and spit on britain

[HotNewHipHop1]

@okuma0kuma

What are you talking about.. Lowkey does rally's to raise money for these countries, being destroyed by british imperialism, his last single Long live palestine he gave all profits to palestine, not fake charities like oxfam and redcross that keep 80%+ profits.

Learn YOUR facts before you chat, Lowkeys on point with everything he says.

[learn99toswim]

@HotNewHipHop1 ..didnt you read what he said ?? why doesnt he visit these places ???..

[HotNewHipHop1]

@learn99toswim He does you fool...

He travelled to Tel Aviv to take part in a series of charity shows in the country, including sites in Palestine and Palestinian refugee camps, to raise funds to help rebuild the Gaza Strip..

You lot need to put down your Sun newspapers stop writing crap on youtube and open your eyes to reality.

[learn99toswim]

@HotNewHipHop1 is gaza in afghanistan ??

[heavymetaldeath4life]

@learn99toswim Gaza is next to Israel.

[learn99toswim]

@heavymetaldeath4life drrrr...i know ..

[heavymetaldeath4life]

@learn99toswim Then what is your question?

[learn99toswim]

@heavymetaldeath4life my question was meant for you

[heavymetaldeath4life]

@learn99toswim No it wasn't, I just commented now. You didn't ask me anything...

[learn99toswim]

@heavymetaldeath4life i know ....

[HotNewHipHop1]

@learn99toswim

Also during his trip he was detained at an Israeli airport for nine hours.

What does that tell you.

[learn99toswim]

@HotNewHipHop1 tell me s they were right ...

[HotNewHipHop1]

@learn99toswim Tells me your a dumb racist prick, the perfect government citizen keep doing what your doing.

[learn99toswim]

@HotNewHipHop1 thats right call me a racist and throw in a few swear words .. what a moron

[okuma0kuma]

@HotNewHipHop1 yet nothing typed has contradiction with what i typed because what i typed is true correct ? ,from what you typed ! so he only donates to palestine and no were else like the international charity's that are known world wide for doing ,the you typed 20% charity aid is going into palestine when it could gone to a more deprived country

[HotNewHipHop1]

@okuma0kuma

More deprived than Palestine.... Do you know what the fuck is going on there, are you stupid.. & from what I typed all I know of is that he did a show in Palestine because I was there, he has done countless shows abroad, seriously get your fucking facts straight before you speak this is getting really embarrassing.

He's doing more for the world than you, but 1 man can only do so much, thats why his music is so powerful it spreads to people and leads fans to d help with the cause.

[learn99toswim]

@HotNewHipHop1 yes i been to gaza , and my first question was , why so many children !!! the answer i got was that the western media are not interested in the struggle, only in children .. so they fuck to gain sympathy ... like chavs in the uk

[HotNewHipHop1]

@learn99toswim

Saying its right for israel to detain him for is ignorant, your just being arguementative..

nme dot cm /news/mongrel/43171

[learn99toswim]

@HotNewHipHop1 i think its right , i have heard what he thinks of jews and israel , they let him go ... i would have kick him out ..

[ReunitePeace777]

@learn99toswim He doesn't dislike Jews! If you think that you haven't seen much of him!

He dislikes Zionism, he supports Judaism, why? Because Judaism is a religion in which you believe in God unlike Zionism!

[okuma0kuma]

@HotNewHipHop1 lmao i used your own information and you telling me to get the facts straight that's hilarious ,you seem to have false perception of what i typed click view all and scroll what i typed , i have changed the world more than beyond your belief ,wait what he a singer ! can you recommend a good song ?

[HotNewHipHop1]

@okuma0kuma

Now since your so judgemental what have you done for anyone other than yourself I dont really care coz 90% your gonna come up with some crap, just think about it to yourself you selfish prick, or go and by your poppy.

[okuma0kuma]

@HotNewHipHop1 guess i mention 1% of 10% lol i programmed many 3d cgi plug-ins and distributed them completely free for artists to aid in expressing them self ,or do you see art as worthless like ! music ?

so what have you committed to changing world other than express your hate for international charity's that not 100% committed to what ever your self righteous agenda is

something interesting for you one my relatives invented a system known as monopulse radar,for this i wear poppy with pride

[HotNewHipHop1]

@okuma0kuma Congratulations... I don't hate on anything, & throwing money at something doesn't really solve a lot, the most logical thing is to stop the war and bloodshed and that what he is speaking about here.

& I wear my white poppy in pride because I don't support murder.

[learn99toswim]

typical lefttie shit ....again

[KAZEEMA91]

LOWKEY 4 PREZ

[learn99toswim]

the afgan men tend to jealous and backward thinking , to be honest most normal people know afgan men as the village idiots of the world , we just hope most dont follow the army out ...

[learn99toswim]

the bloke hates jews , was he at the student protest in london

[theoneali]

@learn99toswim its prefectly legitimate to hate jews/zionists....they are after all murdering scumbags

[learn99toswim]

@theoneali ..are you a muzzie arse kisser

[theoneali]

@learn99toswim fortunately Im not a brainwashed idiot like yourself

[learn99toswim]

@theoneali you like to kiss brown muzzie arse ..

[theoneali]

@learn99toswim what a dick

[learn99toswim]

@theoneali is that what you say to your arab boyfriend

[jayhelldee]

@theoneali Wowa weeea. I feel safe now i know only the jewish race commits murder. 

[jayhelldee]

His next step is do a stint in afghanistan and preach to talibanananas about war and oppression.

[SuckMyCurry]

@theoneali Yeah but you cannot label an entire race as murdering scumbags. If you are a Muslim you would not like to be labelled an extremist, as a Catholic you would not like to be labelled a paedophile. So shut the fuck up.

[theoneali]

@SuckMyCurry oh shut up

[ReunitePeace777]

@theoneali YOU'RE BRAINWASHED!!!!!

"jews/zionists" WHAT ARE YOU? AN EXTREMIST?

Jews aren't Zionists.

Judaism is a religion in which you believe in and worship God, Zionism isn't!

Zionism is the religion in which the templar knights left Judaism to practice black magic and Satanism. JUDAISM IS NOT!

You a fan of Lowkey?

Watch "long live palestine pt.2" by lowkey. He says "Zionism aint compatible with Judaism!"

Judaism is a religion in which you believe Arabs are like brothers! NOT ZIONISM!

[theoneali]

@ReunitePeace777 I know that you idiot...........but the line dividing zionism from judaism is very very blurred

[ReunitePeace777]

@theoneali OR your mind is blurred! Judaism is the opposite of Zionism in EVERY WAY! There is a massive distance! Jews have died for Palestinians and they were never heard, and now even a brother like you has told me that they are alike? Jews ans Palestinians, religiously, are known as brothers!

[KAZEEMA91]

@learn99toswim 90% OF JEWS R EVIL THERE MORE JEW LEADERS THEN ANY OTHER THEY KILLED A PREG BRIT WOMAN 4 10 EUROS

[learn99toswim]

@KAZEEMA91 and when did this happen

[pigfister]

Special orders, the Nuremberg defence:

"UK law does not recognize the plea as a defence in itself. If an order is unlawful, a soldier's duty is to disobey it."

[harj2009]

The Drone attacks are forced on Pakistan, Pakistan cannot afford to start a war with the US whilst its facing a taliban insurgency and floods

FATA is Part of Pakistan, there are many Pakhtun in the Pakistan Army, and the last elected FM of Pakistan was Pakhtun.

Everyone in one country doenst have to be same ethnic group, the CIA and its imperialist allies just look for ways to divide nations racial card, to religion or something else

[VetonIbishi]

i wrote it once,i'ma write it again... WE NEED MORE PPL LIKE YOU...respectttt from Switzerland

[CSmoCC]

I was in Millbank at the Student March 50,000 and the 10,000 Stop the War Protest and it will just get bigger next March is the protest against all the cuts, the largest demonstration in British History.

[CSmoCC]

Was a bad day real talk by lowkey. Sad to hear from the father whose son died in Afghanistan, Jody spoke real talk too and the letter from the soldier in Afghanistan, real talk exposing how we cant win the war and how British Army has secret torture squads.

[2pacalwayzx]

lowkey please become prime minister- it would be amazing

[halleexox]

i kinda love him

[libertyjusticeforal1]

I AM PAKISTANI MYSELF, BUT THEY ARE WRONG TO HELP THE AMERICANS.

I WAS AT THE PROTEST YESTERDAY AND LOVED IT, BUT WHY WERENT MORE PAKISTANIS THERE. AFTER ALL THEY ARE STARTING TO BOMB PAKISTAN.

[harj2009]

the Pakhtun of FATA are Pakistani !

FATA is semi autonomous , its like Scotland with in the UK ,

the Pakhtun on FATA love Pakistan Army you only need to look at the youtube videos on them shouting Pakistan Zindabad , when the pak army sends troops and clears out the taliban

the pakhtun have enough issues amongst themselves

the durrand line is recognized by the pakthuns , they voted to join Pakistan in 1947

so low key you need to go back and read up

[Muslimah1987]

@harj2009

Agreed! I like him generally but sometimes this guy chats total crap. They are PAKISTANIS and if they dont like it, kick em out - afterall Pakistan has done more for these people than anyone else so they better be the hell grateful. Im not Pakistani myself but absolutely cannot STAND any anti-Pakistani talk by Pashtuns - theyre the main source of trouble for Pakistan - yet it still chooses to give them refuge.

Lowkey needs to shut his face in this particular instance.

[Ishaq4lyfe]

I myself am Pashtun and i agree with LowKey 100%. He speaks nothing but truth. Peace to my brothers In Afghanistan.

[TheFlex21]

Lowkey is already a legend

[xlovexIslamx]

ahh i wish i was theree

[HASHANIMATIONS]

He's a sik orator, i wish i was there

[algeriansunited1]

Thanks for sharing ady.
