igloo Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DAY OF INFAMY 2001New song blames U.S. for 9-11 Egyptian singer croons Americans 'are the ones who pulled [tower] down'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Posted: January 20, 20045:00 p.m. Eastern© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com A new song released by a popular Egyptian singer claims the U.S. deliberately caused the destruction of the World Trade Center towers to make Arabs look bad. Sha'ban Abd Al-Rahim's new album recently was reviewed in the Cairo Times. The article was translated by the Washington, D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute. Al Rahim's song "Kharittat Al Tariq" ("Road Map") includes the line, "Hey, people, it was only a tower, and I swear by God that they [the U.S.] are the ones who pulled it down." According to the published review, the song, which focuses on the Middle East road map peace plan, puts to music popular notions in Egypt about Israel, the Iraq war and September 11. The song describes how "America is the spitting image of Israel and it carries out its desires, making the world into a 'jungle.' But it does not stop at that point. Abd Al-Rahim goes on to boldly sing that the USA is the perpetrator of the September 11th attacks," reports the Cairo paper. "Al-Rahim further sings that they purposely did it to make people think that Arabs and Muslims are terrorists and were behind that disaster. Now the U.S. can do what it pleases to the Arab world since everyone thinks they are to blame." The song also mentions President Bush, quoting from some of his speeches. One line states, "Sometimes [bush] says Iran and sometimes he says Syria," and "He shortens his speech if someone says Korea." Al-Rahim's chief songwriter, who previously wrote hits entitled, "I Hate Israel" and "Striking Iraq," penned the road map song. "The album includes another nine songs that reflect the mood of the Egyptian street... Despite the fact that the album has not been released yet, the road map song has been a success on the music scene. Abd Al-Rahim has been doing publicity for his new song by singing it at wedding parties and in TV interviews," the Cairo Times reported. One fan named Muhammad, who has memorized the lyrics of "Road Map," said, "To me, this is the first public and daring accusation made against America concerning the September 11th attacks, and the song will soon be the No. 1 hit in the Arab world."

kramadas Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Damn, you guys are obsessing over a song sung by some Egyptian singer?!?! And its one line!let go of the conspiracy theories already - the whole Egyptian culture is not blaming the US for this!Unless you guys are privy to some private top secret information that the rest of us aren't then, neither side can really claim whats true and whats not. Maybe the US is working behind the scenes to remodel the world after its image - hell thats what promoting "democracy" is about, right? There's no way to disprove that notion."judge not lest ye be judged" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t0nythelover Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 all of you people are the real terrorist. you should be glad to hear that someone is excercising free speech in that part of the world but instead you devalue american ideals. i bet you wish there could be a dictatorship where all "unamerican" people could be killed like the jews during the holocaust. its so funny how those who attack others for being unamerican seem to have no idea what this country is really all about. i guess george washington would be considered a hippie tree hugger too.
