Eskimo Joe - Inshalla (2009)

[GaryMiller072]

@abz2plz, you are right. I have many muslim friends too...... inshalla one day all these stupid people this world will learn. Inshalla.

[cerenrockers]

Its no offensive to muslims instead it makes them proud because inshalla means something good do some research after you begin flooding youtube with shit

[upsidedownfish]

@Seriouslydnb What about Australian Muslims? It's not like the two are mutually exclusive...

[Seriouslydnb]

@upsidedownfish there not australian when they choose islam !!!

[crazedstargazer]

@Seriouslydnb lol take a chill pill, using a word from a language/religion does not mean they subscribe to it all. And what are you more pissed off at? the fact that its named after a arabic/ islamic phrase or that that THEY CHOSE to name it that?!? Your beef is with them it seems. GET. OVER. IT. #SLAPYOSELF

[Alpha0Retard]

@Seriouslydnb Really? REALLY?! Since when does a religion exclude nationality?

[candycakkkes]

eskimojoe, oh how i've missed you. <3

[Alexheadless]

Guys there multi-culturists, it's how their influenced/brought up in Australia. I've met them, and they don't care where you come from, what religion you are or your political views. Their there to express themselves and make great music

[breatheeasy94]

now im not racest or religion bashing but they use words like this to attract music attention, not to be ignorant. great that u just ignored the music and attacked the name straight away (Y)

[cerenrockers]

enough with politics and religion were all people jeeze

[DorksVader]

Oh my god. It's like someone called Joe taking offence that they "stole his/her name." Seriously, thats how pathetic it is.

And they're singing in english, so is some up-market english man going to sue them for it?

Nope, 'ats what I thought. :)

[kakashi2anko]

im Muslim .. and i dont find it offensive !! what the matter with you people

[nadya2411]

@kayrosx1 in islam music is haram..there is only certain music that can be approved..something with "hadrah" in this case,,but here they're using our precious god's name with a heavy metal song...thats not appropriate. if they want to praise Allah,,they should use a soft music instead of head banging kind of music...no no no..

[somedude182]

@nadya2411 i don't think that the style matters to intelligent people, obviously stupid people are going to immediate place a hard rock song with negative connotation if there is religion cause view of things are jaded due to media, but in truth music is a form of expression and shouldn't be based on the style cause everybody is different in tastes. and hadrah comes from sufism which most muslim don't even agree with whatsoever.

[somedude182]

@nadya2411 also that music isn't really haram i think at least what i have learned at my mosque (it could be different depending on school of thought or i could be wrong), but Mackru which just means bad, simply cause of what is portrayed in most music that islam doesn't agree with like boyfriend/girlfriend and drinking and stuff like that

[Gregza225]

@nadya2411 trust me, this aint metal haha.

I've been learning about Islam at school recently and I fully respect your views and opinions. But, I really don't think they are trying to offend.

[scottyplod1988]

cant beat aussie bands "airbourne, ac/dc, the cat empire and eskimo joe are my favorites

[iceonaboy]

@scottyplod1988 Powderfinger got to be in there too mate and dont forget Grinspoon!

[nadya2411]

stupid song made by stupid people. this song is very unproductive! inshalla? this is so wrong

[kayrosx1]

@nadya2411 why?

[TITISIMO25]

i fucking love australian music

[slyme1711]

big stadium sound eh !

[MelbourneBoy1990]

Good song this :D

[shift0why]

dont understand the hate honestly...ppl in the west are scared of muslims targeting them, while muslims in the mid-east are the ones who are actually blown up everyday!!! by their so called 'brothers'...

great song!!

[lrozenwater]

1 Al Qaida tries to blow up USA

2 Al Qaida blows up mid-east and make the other muslims their slaves/brothers

3 USA tries to create justice in the mid-east

4 Al Qaida tries to blow up USA

[cardejah]

blind misconception by common folk.

wikipedia is your bible, paul?

you are (God has willed this) an utter fucking moron.

[tfn231]

fuck you fuckin fuck fuckin fuck piece of shits fuuuuuuck fuuuuck fuck it fuck fuck who think that muslims are bad paulc792009 fuck you shove a banana in your ass and iam not even muslim or arab

[paulc792009]

so.....eskimo joe are terrorists??? that really sucks, i liked them before

[sitheil0labhairt]

they arent terrorists. inshalla means god willing, in arabic, get over it, its not any different to having it in english or any other language.

[paulc792009]

god willing in arabic means allah willing, allah teaches death to all infidels (non muslims). allah also teaches that a woman is nothing and should be stoned to death or beheaded with a knife or have acid thrown in her face in an honour killing either by her father or brother or by other men in her community if she say for example refuses to enter into an arranged marriage with someone, the men who do this will then recieve no punishment.

[sitheil0labhairt]

and how many fucked up rules are there in the bible? in all religions? throughout history women have been degraded and treated badly by men, but things are starting to change. not all muslims are terrorists.

[thatdontimpressmemuc]

and i speak arabic and inshalla means "hopefully" NOT God willing though the religious people mean it as god willing, the non religious people (like me), it just means hopefully!

[Liquid717]

no it means God Willing in arabic.. end of story.

[thatdontimpressmemuc]

ya but to those who mean it that way. a word can have more than one definition. a lot of non religious people in the arab world also use the word and they mean it as hopefully!

[efendy2]

Retard, if you speak arabic you should know that Allah means God in Arabic!

[thatdontimpressmemuc]

I know Allah means god, I'm saying that Inshalla has 2 meanings because even those who don't believe in god in muslim countries use it and they mean it as hopefully!

[thatdontimpressmemuc]

they're not terrorists...they picked an arabic word ffs...no bomb went off. just listen to the song

[FaithIsAnnoyed]

paulc792009

Let me know when Eskimo Joe decide to hijack and plane and crash it into a building. Since when does using an Arabic word in a song make them terrorists???

I don't believe you or anyone can be that naive, so I assume your comment was meant as a joke.

[electronicman3000]

@paulc792009 u are a fuking asshol they are not terrorist u piece of sht

[mtan34]

Hey all, i been reading your comments, now with such a beautiful word as insallah in this song, please don't ruin it by fighting in the comments section. Lets just listen to Eskimo Joe and enjoy, insallah we can overcome all of this fighting and arguing, if you have something nice to say, forward it, otherwise, somethings are better left not said :P P.S Eskimo Joe ROCKS!!! Selam to ALL :D

[littlemissnat1]

Hi, does anyone know where I can download this album? I tried on itunes but it's not on there. I've not heard eskimo joe before but love this album :-)

[dan197929]

go and buy it

[yasini]

its amazing how they adapted the word 'inshallah'

meaning god willing. I dont see anything wrong, its a beautiful word. May it spread around the world.

[sjjha]

i'm pretty sure that there is an indian song which uses "insh" and "allah"

[zavk9]

funny how brainwashed people are inshalla is an arabic word, muslim is not a language its a religion just like when they say allah ignorant people assume its a muslim word.

[FaithIsAnnoyed]

It's music, and it's music for everyone. Doesn't matter what culture or religion you are.

I don't see why anyone would take offence at the name of this song.

[Beckyy11]

does it really matter what language its in? jeez, some people just go a bit overboard, no affence.

[abz2plz]

I'm muslim and Im I'm not offended by Eskimo Joe naming their album "Inshalla", it just means god willing, good on them.. People just tend to over analyse things..

[Gr33nWAR]

A lot of bands use foreign words / language in their lyrics, names and titles, you fucks!

l2music

[JosephMomani]

actually there's nothing wrong with the song name! and also even "IF" they were muslim's which they're not, that doesn't make them a bad people at all! so if you like the song listen to it.... otherwise just don't!

[flopm9194]

by the way im speeking to meandhim20 in that comment

[meandhim220]

umm... like firstly the speeling if rong!! and who ever thinks that it is spelt right sud learn the spelling

and like whats the purpose of this song?

i never knew eskimo joe contained musliums? why sing about something if you done belive in it???? i rekon its rong!!

[riokuubii]

Learn to spell before you diss, please.

[TobyHam]

hey am a muslim and I like this song....I don't think there is anything wrong with them singing "God Willing"....

[truemonolith]

the band doesn have muslims.

the album was written about australian influence around the world, and we have been around in the arab world.

[flopm9194]

listen, just becoz its an arabic word doeznt meen its muslim, arabic chirsitans use the word to....try not to think close mindedly please..and second of all they believe in the meaning the word contains which is god willing... if u want to express ur opinion please try to make sure you have the facts rite first.

[Welrod2800]

maybe its a thing called mulicultural awareness and acceptance... you jarhead.

[i8urm81]

wtf fuken learn how 2 spell hater fuk ur a gronk go suk on ur mummies dik fagget

[babyhiba95]

(to meandhim220). wow. what i "rekon" is wrong.. is you dissing the spelling when YOU don't know how to spell. and second.. you don't have to believe in something to sing it or write about it/talk about it.

F.Y.I, inshallah isn't for Muslims only. Arabic people who are Christians also say it.

It just means "God Willing". There's nothing wrong with that.

[relaxitzace]

inshalla meaning if god willing what a beautiful word say it all da time

[Brahmony]
