Thus Sang Omar Khayaam for Swat (Music & lyrics)

Another version of Thus Sang Omar Khayyam.
More polemical poetry and musical satire about hitching your shalmar up to reveal your ankles, "in the manner of the Prophet"!

I hope Irshad Manji does not mind me using her image in this way.

Maulana Fazal Ullah can 'mind' as much as he wants. Tough.

My LOve goes to the family of Ghani Akbar & Amjad Islam,

penrhyndeundraeth D'ya know what? Yt still won't let me reply to that comment. After one year of trying let me try this method.

Right, dear brother J., this is not anywhere near as good as Quintessence, I know that because you used to brainwash me with their music. But hell, I thank you for educating me into all those other bands. Without you I would never have gotten into Family. Nowadays people say "Family? Oh you mean Sly and the Family Stone." But back to topic.

This not god rock!

Anybody who so wishes can send a link to Maulana Fazal Ullah, along with my disdain.

I would much rather they sent a link to the family of Amjad Islam and Ghani Akbar with my sympathy and love.

Also I trust Irshad Manji does not object to my freely using her image without consulting her. I tried, but failed, to contact her. She might send the legal heavies or the physical heavies to persuade me to desist.

Till then this video stays up.

Hey this is the first God rock number I've heard since Quintessence were in their pomp.
