How ignorant you are, my friend... The song was inspired by the novel 'L'étranger' ('The Stranger'), written by French writer Albert Camus. Nothing to do with racism or Western policy towards Arabs or Muslims... Please check your sources before posting.

@hadaya60 Listen here sir, I am arab myself and I dont appreciate you suggesting that I can't read just because I am arab. I really dont understand what a book about internet safety has to do with this awful racist excuse for music but I hope that someday this murderous band decides to start killing bigoted people like you.

@guitaHer099 as mentionned by others, read a novel called "the stranger" by Albert Camus and you'll understand the meaning of the song which is also the underlying theme of the book :"whatever i choose it amounts to the same, absolutely nothing" ... as you're not the only one having difficulties in understanding more than one sentence in a song, they've changed the title. if you'd opened your ears, you'd hear that he's actually saying "killing another". Is your self righteous conscience happy ?

Wow,I really cant believe he changed the lyrics of this song just to apease the ignorant opinions of people who havn't read Camus and have no idea of existentialism,the basis of the novel "The Stranger" and the song "Killing an Arab".

I saw them back in 86 (I was 15) and they performed this very song as an encore too.

Cowards. I thought they had b's. Changing the name becuase some people don't get it or are offended. Wah wah wah. Well they are old farts now so they must be slowing down and are just like everyone else now.
