Song by Junoon condemning terrorism

Salman Ahmad's "No More" is the only song denouncing terrorism to come from the region of the world where terrorism has thrived...
on the 5th anniversary of 9/11 to act as a wake up call for all people who believe in tolerance and cultural harmony. "No More" is the only song denouncing terrorism to come from the region of the world where terrorism has thrived, a unique expression of empathy and solidarity from the other side of the globe.. I needed to do something to heal my own wounds, says Salman, and the show we gave near Ground Zero was one of the most deeply moving concerts I've ever experienced. After the show I met Polar Levine, a New Yorker who'd brought his nine year old son to the show. I told him that this concert had shown to me what America was really all about: unity in adversity."

Ahmad continues, "A few days later, Polar presented me with a poem that he had written right after the 9/11 attacks and said, 'you're free to do whatever you want with it'. Until that moment, Pakistan's long history of terrorism, violence and poverty had focused me on writing only in Urdu language my songs. 9/11 brought a huge paradigm shift to my consciousness. I now have a reason to write English songs. I want to comment on the flood of paranoia, grief, and crisis of identity that the world is collectively experiencing and "No More" is like a first painting." Ahmad used Levine's poem as the basis for "No More."


NO MORE Lyrics

©2002 Salman Ahmad & Polar Levine

In my lungs through my windows
on my head on the floor
ashes of falling hope
choking me inside these doors
stormy winds seduce the night
over new york and karachi skies
sinking in a sea of time
mourning since 11/9

No more, I'm breathing you no more, I'm missing you no more, No more

God and money take the blame
for suicidal video games
if all that lives is born to die
love remains I wonder why

on black and white tv
red is all I see
I'm sick of spying eyes
wearing suits and secret ties

(Repeat) No More

the dream is not yet over
keep yourself alive
hold on
we may survive

(Repeat) No More Lyrics by Polar Levine and Salman Ahmad

[Salman Zuberi]

It is not bad to be religious but it is bad to blindly follow the fake imams and mullahs that have corrupted most muslims out there.

[germansiamese]

Liberal Muslims of progress, democrazy, peace and enlightment unite to fight the extremists in your lines, those who undercut your organizations and mosques, those who want to exploit your minds to bring about war, violence and intolerance! We've been given a choice, to live in harmony and enrich one another or an escelation of the extreme sites causing both sides unutterable agony. If we choose harmony we have to FIGHT!

[MU FAR]

Liberal extremists are as dangerous and religious extremists since they attack your culture social and moral values.It is curse of liberal extremism that we are ashamed of are national language and regional languages are becoming extinct.People take pride in not knowing Arabic script to write Urdu and writing in Roman script has become status symbol.We dont know name of our own heros,poets and thinkers.We have reserved Shalwar Kameez for Namaz e Jumma and Namaz e Janaza.

[Salman Zuberi]

That would be a miracle. I hope that happens.

[Salman Zuberi]

Liberal extremists are harmless because they do not go about killing and hurting other people. Every religion claims to be peaceful but many dont measure up.

[MU FAR]

We should also be cautious of Liberal Extremists

[Kubangpasu]

why not just liberate themselves from the religion islam. then no need to have the tag of islam or whatever it is. it is just a waste of time.

[Mjalil23]

[ashleybell8]

I like this song a lot. Ali might not come across as a role model, but he really has done more for Paksitan than most politicians claim to do.
