Islam still has problems though... What did Salman Rushdie do to deserve death? He only wrote a book. Freedom of speech should be for all, whether or not it offender muslims, christians or jews.
@0xenStr I know that, but the statement still stands. If someone was sent to death row, and someone else said "he doesn't deserve death", that makes sense, you dig?
@fragman08 I know the book shouldn't have been banned, but he hasn't even been put on death row, or sent to prison. All that has happened is that the book has been banned in many countries.
@0xenStr Nope, but there is a fatwah for his MURDER by ayatolla khomenie and his japanese translator has been murdered. All on orders of an islamic scholar who is widely regarded by even "moderate" muslims. I wasn't saying he was on death row, I was just saying it's the equivalent- at some point some religious fucking lunatic will murder him. It's a question of time.
I think it's a huge fucking irony that before Riz's awesome vid there's a video game advertisement glorifying American aggression. Someday, my country's going to learn its lesson.
Some really thought provoking words, clearly these views are very personal to Riz and it comes across as both intelligent and authentic. The music also defines the song for me and is sombre and it just fits perfectly. The next person who slags off Hip Hop culture as shallow I will point in this direction.
For all those ill-educated narrow minded fools that are gonna believe something just because the media is infiltrating their minds with bullshit, listen to the words of this track, and listen carefully.
Islam means peace. Terrorists are not Muslims. And just because someone's Muslim does not make them a terrorist.
I'm proud of my religion - not so proud of those that don't respect it.
Big up RIZ MC. Saying the stuff that needs to be said more, and needs to be listened to.
and before i come under attack for my beliefs. i am a british white atheist, raised catholic and who believes whole heartedly that religion is bad for this planet. but i also believe that people have the right to believe in a religion if they choose.
you people who watch this and still post islamaphobic and hateful remarks. he is talking about the vast majority of modern Muslims. yet you still blindly run back to you're stereotypes through due to what? fear? to claim that islam is all the way you claim is like claiming that all christians are like the westboro baptist church. it's insane. listen to what he's saying and others like him talking about peace and understanding and you'll understand.
@woodybrooker1 Shut up you lefty dickhead will. Islamaphobia? For simply refusing that it's solely Western Governements that teach these Jihadists that it's an honorable act of matyrdom to detonate a bomb amongt an innocent group of unarmed people, I must keep that Islanophobia well hidded when I see my Muslim family members like my 4 cousins, Uncle, or my sisters 4 kids and her partner. Not enough Muslims condemning Jihadists, plenty the UK governements. Fuck off.
This is a bunch of bullshit wrapped up as if it's wisdom. Subtly implying conspiracy theories and shit. Too many man with a head full of twisted shit these day can't properly comprehend what reality is. You see beheadings, amputations, stonings, bombs going of, fatwas for authors and you try to act like reporting on that is some western conspiracy. Or caused by the West. Islam has some good tenets but alot is fucked up.
@Underground906 I totally agree. Your comment should be the highest rated on here, but people only ever want to believe what will make their hearts bleed.
@Underground906 Mate i dont think you actually understand what is he is saying Many of the points he makes are valid its people like you who are so brainwashed by the media you do not believe the truth, thinking all muslims are terrorists and can you really say the west is any better, they go round torturing and killing many innocent people in the East, mate who do you think sets of most of these bombs ?Go back to recesses of your brain, and think before you type stupid and biased comments.
@khalid1605 Mate, I'm one of the few people with my head on my shoulders about this. Is this video all about condemning the kind of idiots who can't differentiate between a militant jihadi islamist and a normal muslim? Is it fuck. No Al Queda. BL. No Jihadist, none of those things in my earlier post. Just the racist UK government/press causing it obviously. Resentful, more that the press labelled it 7/7 than the bombing itself. And you get the white-lefties in the vid backing it, like they do.
@khalid1605 It's the absolutely retarded stupidity of the premise that offends me. Why do the lefty types always get drawn to lend their support to shit like this. Its vanity. To show how multi-cultural they are etc. I couldn't get a more multi-cultural family then mine. Irish, mixed raced black cousins on both sides, muslim cousins, muslim neice and nephews. My grandad was a terrorist in the IRA. No excusing terrorism from me, No playing the victim (irish are the new black), or blaming the UK
@khalid1605 Muslims aren't the new black. That's a fucking disgraceful thing to say. Blacks were discriminated against simply out of ignorant bigotry and racism. To say that Muslims are the new blacks is as if to say that any hostility toward Militant Islam or at the bigotry from people like Choudary, is simply white people being racist. I mean this idiot going on about the 7/7 thng like the press was trying to make it a global thing. It fuckin is. Suicide bombs going off evrywhere ffs. Stupid
@Underground906 See mate now your making things up to try and distract away from the fact that you know your wrong i challenge you to quote me, Where did I say that ? Mate did you know that al-Quaeda was funded by america ?
Da press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like hes the criminal. If u arent careful the newspapers will have you hatin the people who are being oppressed and lovin the people doin the oppressin
@khalid1605 What have a I made up? Let's get a few cleared up as it's easy to mistake people over the net and that would be a waste of time. I'm up to speed on all conspiracy theories, anyone into hip-hop will know how mistrustful and anti-government the whole genre is. And I know full well about media manipulation. Another point, I don't make anything up. And I'm not pointing out anything about Muslims I wouldn't in any other case. The problem is Islam is the less tolerant religion on criticism
@khalid1605 Load of things are wrong with this vid and the bullshit it contains. ''That Muslims are the new blacks'' tshirt/poster in the vid I've already explained. They think any negative perception of Islam, is not down to certain followers of the religion, but because people are brainwashed and racist, absolving the actions of nutters completely. Blames ''poverty'' in the uk, when they the get loads of the government, for driving the guy to blow up innocent people. What a fucking prick.
@Underground906 So im talking about the message of the video, and by ''That Muslims are the new blacks'' I think the people in the video are pertaining to that muslims are the ones in modern times being persecuted, He says the ones doing the blowing up are not muslims but are crazy people, and that REAL muslims would not harm anyone but are peaceful, he is not absolving the nutters he says they are bad, open your ears. ALso some of your sentences dont make gramatical sense.
21 Zionist-Neocon terrorists gave this a thumbs down. I would like to throw these warmonger ignorant cowards into a Roman arena and give them the thumbs down.
As an atheist, if they were more people who viewed the world and its many problems in this way, we would be a good way towards solving those problems.
I also only just discovered this! Brilliant lyrics. Whilst I'd still agree that religion (in all forms) is not a force for good (because they generally work by persuading people to believe in what are, for want of a better word, lies, which I can't agree with), the threat of Islam (to the UK at least) is being blown out of all proportion, to a ridiculous degree. It's being used as an excuse for extremism (and not very much extremism at that), and a scapegoat for hatred.
very good video and message, Riz MC has got skills and a bit of backbone to talk about these topics while others just sing and rap about love,drugs,booz bla bla everything else, respect the guy for him trying to get the message out that Islam isn't about terrorism. We are all different in good and bad, the religion doesn't turn you bad its the people that do.
Most of the terrorists become terrorists because they don't really understand the religion. And because they think they will become 'martyrs' and go to heaven and fuck 72 virgins there.
brilliant song, speaks volumes, but unfortunately it's not a modern thing all the terrorism, and its not just Islam, just the names change, whether its terrorist, extremist or crusader, it always seems to repeat for every religion out there.
This is a brilliant poem/song i puts the facts fairly straight im from up "north" and have had my years of ignorance and racism due to peer pressure i was brought up as a christian and lost my faith many years ago i have my own beliefs now but i still respect religion and after studying a few i have to say the koran does seem to be one of the best "good books" most complete with many of the christian loop holes closed this song and thoose who listen to it will hopefully come to realise no evil
i stumbled on riz mc from watching shifty and when i heard this it made me stop listern over and over again. i think more poeple should listern to this and see muslims people have had the finger pointed at them for terrorism but if you listern muslim people have been under terrorism for so many years. how many of you would of heard of al qaeda befor 9/11 i can be honest i never had but now so when there is a terror attack that where the finger is point.WHY its not the religion it and be anyone.
@simmer1234 You're pretty bang on mate, one thing i'd like to point out is that Al-Qaeda is an organisation that was pretty much made up by the Americans (before 9/11) to try and create a mafia-like classification so they could legitimately prosecute Bin-Laden as part of an organisation (some weird legal specification) Bin Laden only used the name AFTER 9/11 coz his only success was the media reaction. He never had widespread support of Muslims. Watch The Power of Nightmares on Youtube to see...
@simmer1234 it was the american government that paid alqaeda to crash the planes into the towers. watch zeitgeist and the power of nightmares. the finger only points in the opposite direction of the real culprits, thats the western way
I love this piece, and think Riz MC is a fantastic wordsmith. My problem lies with the fact this piece even needs to exist. You read the press and even at the back end of 2010, stories still begin with "Muslim extremists...". The press reports on the prejudist feelings from the world, then constantly stokes the fires. Islam has existed for thousands of years. Vilifying millions of people won't give you an easy answer to the worlds problems.
As a arab muslim I am so glad I watched four lions not just fot the fact that it is of all times but because I have found these songs that I otherwise probally never would of heard.
@ TheIfty95: I am amazed at how easily you decided about someone being a muslim or non muslim based on them drinking, doing drugs or wateva..Good job mate!
@moizzy1 nah, i ment in the way they act, thats just some things a muslim not ment to do. do you want a list of them?
:Killing people
Killing yourself
Disrespecting your parents
Disrespecting your elders
Praying 5 Times a day
i could go on, i ment to say the 'media' just label evil people as muslims. thats my point and i kinda didnt prove it in the right way what i said b4 but the point still stands. Real muslims are good people. Bad people are not muslims. simple as. get it now??
@khalid1605 sorry, my bad, i was pissed off when i wrote that, so my fault, safe for correcting me. and your right, we are ment to pray 5 times a day.
- makes yah think doesnt it..ill admit it, i used to be one of thsee lads that go around sayingg the word Paki or Raghead having a laugh, but i shouldnt judge a book by its cover..i should actually think aobut it next time im gonna be a ''BIGMAN'' real talk maan....
@JordanRobz Good for you mate, at least some people can see the truth and see through the bullshit the media tell us. Real proper muslims are good people, i wish every1 could see that.
@TheIfty95 Yeah man, it really made me think, and like i do see not all muslims are bad, so really i was a bit sterotypical twards the ones that 'steal jobs' or whatever, they ain't stealing them they're taking what they deserve 'cos really they're here for a job, unlike most of mans of Council Estate's doing or slinging Drugs, cos thats what i see like everyday..i live on one, and it aint exactly the best place to live. but i now see that not every Muslim is bad, and they shouldn't be judged.
@JordanRobz At least your being honest about it. and those 'mans' you see doing drugs, drinking and doing all that crap, they aint muslims cos in our religion, itz haram( not allowed) to do those things yet these people do it and call them selves muslims. those people disgrace our religion. they aint real muslims yet they and other call them as real muslims. you see now how itz works against us muslims
Almost cried, but was in a public place so... Awsome song gonna look into his music, smart dude this guy is. Theres always a hated group in society it'll never change now it's Muslims in my Dads time it was the Irish. Wish it would stop.
follow up track askings all muslims to stand up against these jihads in honour to gain back respect for islam... lost minds? may be but imams have been found to encourage terrorism to ... ppl of gr8er knowledge than lost minds? hmmm problems go much deeper.
@gwacha3vampire just because someone is an imam doesn't mean they represent the truth about their religion they rather distort parts of the religion to push extreme agendas. It's similiar the priests who commited sexual abuse to children everyone knows that christianity doesn't teach that.
this issue is just a pebble in the pond... so many other issues on both sides ... terrorism is mostly about power n poltics granted. but why aint muslims helping flush out these groups? end of the day true muslims are ruining everything pure about ur relgion by standing back... america went into mid east for there own agenda and killed innocent ppl ... but that dont mean muslims should think terrorists should have a right to fight back in the way they do... infact 7/7 killed muslims to ...
with the "controversy" about the Park 51 Islamic Community Center, it shows that we as Americans have moved backwards by even debating it.
This is extremely relevant, Islamophobia is there and its being stoked by the right wing in the US for political gain right now.
Sadly, it goes even further than that. Many people including congressmen Ron Paul, see the link between stoking the hatred of Muslims and the aggressive foreign policy of the US.
Fundamentalist religion, whether Christian, Jewish, Hindu, or Muslim can be wielded as a weapon and has.
Funny how there is so much Islamophobia but so little public outrage over the mass rape and cover up of children under the the watch of the Catholic Church.
Thank goodness for people like Riz who stand up for peace and tolerance while exposing the deep flaws in the "war on terror"
@YoungNasty101 The government are the real terrorist, every member within the government is a terrorist. They have been part of a nasty thing, by looking at someone they dont always turn out to be good, The day the entire world fighted against the government including soldiers being on the side of the public is the day this world will be a free world, no one to control us. Bring out technology when we like, how we like, get things out faster. We are slow in releasing new things because of them.
oh fuck sake, not on media now...now more people will see muslims as the victims now. al quida doesnt exist? lol what. say bye to your british cuture your ancestors made for you all just to feel sorry for people who dont care about your culture
Im white, british and you know fuck all about anything.
Britain is a country that is founded on immigration, we have no 'culture' persay because we are all immigrants from different parts of the world. Its what makes britain such an amazing place!
You yourself are probably part french or italian or saxon! Im honoured to see the scope of Britain change :S
@heffy187, @heffy187, It really is such a shame that your comment lacks any grammar and alot of spelling mistakes otherwise I may have actually been able to understand what you're trying to say. But I guess you'll blame your lack of knowledge on muslims, am I right?
I cant lie ive always been ignorant (No offense) thinking that the majority of muslims are terrorists from the way media portray it but its bullshit. Its terrorists who use religion as a motive that set a bad example give muslims or any other culture/religion a bad name. This tune is real talk. Nice one Riz
Trying to make Islam innocuous, is wrong Theo van Gogh etc (not part of the war) all these people killed beheaded in the name of a vile religion. No mate sour times are stoning women for being raped, honour killing etc. Islam needs no one to give it a bad name as it follower clearly do a better job.
@reprimand33 You are an idiot, with an extremely average level of intelligence and understanding, honour killings have 2 do with culture, india for example honor killings are committed there but it is not an islamic state. Obviously there are some extremists in every religion. Women do not get stoned for getting raped dick head, the rapist gets the death sentence, you talk shit man im sick of ur ignorance, typical retard.
@MusicIzMySavior I do apologise for not sharing your point of view. Qur'an 004.034 Dictates a woman’s role, truly if she is not accompanied by her a man like brother uncle etc and she is raped it’s her fault. I forgot how many testimonies does she need ah yes FOUR is the magic number. Toss of you cunt!!
What good does Islam do around the globe what contribution does it make??? Does it send aid to victims of natural disasters?
No it don't, but for some islamic countries they are unfortunate enough to fucking experience natural disasters. What good does it do around the globe? Seriously do you go to school you dumb fuck? What has christianity done around the globe, what is it's contribution, just because some extremist muslims interpret the Qur'an in a violent way does not represent all muslims, its like me saying the KKK are racist so white people are racist. Think for ONCE you ignorant cunt.
Wise words mate!!! Maybe study harder and increase your vocabulary. Did I say Jesus is your saviour did I say Christians are better no!!! I do not subscribe to any organised form of cohesion. Frankly I don't care what you call me, but by all means play the race card as much as you like. I can just say what I observe I like no religion especially one that promotes beheading stoning etc. Take your religion of so called peace and tolerance and shove it MATE!!!

i stumbled on riz mc from watching shifty and when i heard this it made me stop listern over and over again. i think more poeple should listern to this and see muslims people have had the finger pointed at them for terrorism but if you listern muslim people have been under terrorism for so many years. how many of you would of heard of al qaeda befor 9/11 i can be honest i never had but now so when there is a terror attack that where the finger is point.WHY its not the religion it and be anyone.
simmer1234 1 year ago 41
@simmer1234 You're pretty bang on mate, one thing i'd like to point out is that Al-Qaeda is an organisation that was pretty much made up by the Americans (before 9/11) to try and create a mafia-like classification so they could legitimately prosecute Bin-Laden as part of an organisation (some weird legal specification) Bin Laden only used the name AFTER 9/11 coz his only success was the media reaction. He never had widespread support of Muslims. Watch The Power of Nightmares on Youtube to see...
crimsonchief 8 months ago 2
@simmer1234 it was the american government that paid alqaeda to crash the planes into the towers. watch zeitgeist and the power of nightmares. the finger only points in the opposite direction of the real culprits, thats the western way

I love this piece, and think Riz MC is a fantastic wordsmith. My problem lies with the fact this piece even needs to exist. You read the press and even at the back end of 2010, stories still begin with "Muslim extremists...". The press reports on the prejudist feelings from the world, then constantly stokes the fires. Islam has existed for thousands of years. Vilifying millions of people won't give you an easy answer to the worlds problems.

JordanRobz 1 year ago
@JordanRobz At least your being honest about it. and those 'mans' you see doing drugs, drinking and doing all that crap, they aint muslims cos in our religion, itz haram( not allowed) to do those things yet these people do it and call them selves muslims. those people disgrace our religion. they aint real muslims yet they and other call them as real muslims. you see now how itz works against us muslims

@gwacha3vampire just because someone is an imam doesn't mean they represent the truth about their religion they rather distort parts of the religion to push extreme agendas. It's similiar the priests who commited sexual abuse to children everyone knows that christianity doesn't teach that.

@MrOwlPorn
with the "controversy" about the Park 51 Islamic Community Center, it shows that we as Americans have moved backwards by even debating it.
This is extremely relevant, Islamophobia is there and its being stoked by the right wing in the US for political gain right now.
Sadly, it goes even further than that. Many people including congressmen Ron Paul, see the link between stoking the hatred of Muslims and the aggressive foreign policy of the US.

Fundamentalist religion, whether Christian, Jewish, Hindu, or Muslim can be wielded as a weapon and has.

Thank goodness for people like Riz who stand up for peace and tolerance while exposing the deep flaws in the "war on terror"

@reprimand33 You are an idiot, with an extremely average level of intelligence and understanding, honour killings have 2 do with culture, india for example honor killings are committed there but it is not an islamic state.
