Sami Yusuf

Kak Hir had given me some great mp3s from a singer call Sami Yusuf....He's from the UK with an Azerbaijan background....he's song is not the typical nasyeed that you'' likely to hear...it is more toward sending messages...it can appeal both to the muslim comunitty and the non-muslim comunitty...the best son I heard from his new album "My Ummah" is a song he did with Outlandish (A Danish group that is also great...they are multicultural and the lyrics in their songs are just morally uplifting...ohh and their kind of music is a mix of some hip-hop and multiple music from around the world..more on them later) the title of the song is "Try Not to Cry"..it tell us about the oppresion that the Palasteinian had endure...
The lyrics that touch me the most goes as follow;
"Little boy shot in the head,just another kid send out to get some bread,not the first murder nor the last,again and again the repetition of the past,since the very first day same story,young ones, old ones some glory,how can it be, has the whole world turn blind?or is it just cause it effecting my kind,
if this wall could speak,imagine what would they say,for me in this path that I walked on,there's only one way,Bullets may kill, bones may break,Still I throw stones like David before me."
It's true right??? Has the world turn blind???and the Western would asked us why we hate them so much....It's like in "Qaisy and Laila" when the Afghan driver said that there's death every second, right and left in his country because of the war...but the world does nothing about it...but when an American got himslef killed...the whole world is in a tremor...and all those who wears beard and turban or hijab is said to be a terrorist....if you really count carefully the amount of people that was killed during the Palestinian oppresion is more higher than that of the 9/11 tragedy...so if the Palestinian want to attack the Israel it should be allowed cause they started first right...just like the act of the USA attacking Iraq and Afghanistan on the pretext of trying to prevent another strike to their "oh-so-bountiful" homeland....
That have to be the biggest double-standard I have ever seen...but then who am I to critisize the "great" American.....
