Busta Rhymes accused of using Qur'an in new single, branded "racist," DJ's suspended for playing it on radio




From Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch:


All right, mamas and daddies, unwind your minds and rethread your heads, because I, DJ Wolfman Jihad, am gonna present to you now a platter that matters, a beat that's sweet -- that's right, I am gonna lay a rhythm riff on ya to make groovin'...behoovin'.

It's my man Busta Rhymes' new single, "Arab Money," and baybeeee, it's got the dhimmis over across the pond in a twist:

"Galaxy FM suspends DJ over Busta Rhymes's single Arab Money," from The Mirror, December 2 (thanks to Weasel Zippers):

Radio station Galaxy FM has suspended two broadcasters for playing a controversial new song which some claim is offensive.

The title of Busta Rhymes' single Arab Money has been branded racist and the rapper is accused of mixing up elements of the Koran.

The song has barely been aired in the UK for fear of upsetting listeners.

And, uh, for fear of getting blown up. But here at Radio Free Jihad Watch, we are waaaaay past that. And that freedom of speech thang? We are, like, all over that. So don't get me wrong: it isn't that I, DJ Wolfman Jihad, Papa Soul himself, thinks that Busta's latest joint is great art, yo. Nor am I into offending peeps, just in case anyone is reallyoffended by this, know what I'm sayin'?

What Papa Soul is saying is that other groups have to put up with plenty of offense all the time, and if they speak up they're decried for censorship. But when it comes to Muslims and Islam, we all better shut up and toe the line, or else. And that, my friends, is ominous.

Yo, Busta! Welcome to the fraternity of Salman RushdieTheo van GoghAyaan Hirsi AliGeert Wilders, and so many more. You're in good company.


Here are the lyrics, as much as we can understand them:

Is anyone else experiencing problems getting into Jihadwatch.org?

I get repeated "Page load error" messages in Firefox and IE states: " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage message".

The fallout from this video promises to be quite entertaining.

I've changed the lyrics around a bit here. The person who transcribed the lyrics in the first place had a lot wrong.

Pastorius said...

Yep.

By the way, do you understand the point of this song?

I don't.

Damien said...

Pastorius,

I don't think I get it either, really, it sounds like he's singing about getting money from Arabs.

Pastorius said...

I think, perhaps, it's a commentary on the American political and business establishment being in bed with the A-rabs.

Damien said...

Pastorius,

Maybe.

JW is confirmed down - via Atlas:

Spencer: Whitewashing Islam


Spencer's blog is down (whaddup wit dat?) He wrote me of a disturbing "change" that, yet again, obfuscates and confuses the truth about the Quran. And note the name change - Muslim -Jewish Engagement. Mumbai is their definition of Muslim- Jewish engagement (and "Jewish" should come first - we wer first and alphabetically it's wrong). ISLAM MUST DOMINATE AND NOT BE DOMINATED!

It's all a whitewash, the order of the names is the least of it.

Spencer wrote:

JW is down and so I turned back to work on the Q-Blog, and I just went to the USC-MSA collection of Islamic texts online -- a collection that I've used for years.

I think it has always been called the "USC-MSA Compendium of Muslim Texts." Or something like that. I'll have to go look around in the Google Cache and see if I can turn anything up.

But how it is called the "Center for Muslim-Jewish Engagement." And the biggest change that I can see offhand is that there used to be -- I mean, up until yesterday -- Maududi's introductions to every Qur'an chapter.

Maududi was a serious Pakistani jihadist.

But now Maududi has been deep-sixed, and replaced by commentary by Muhammad Asad (Leopold Weiss), a 20th-century convert from Islam to Judaism whose commentary on the Qur'an is severely whitewashed for Western consumption.

Check it out and maybe if you have a minute, check out the Google cache:

JW will be back up shortly I hope.

We link to that version of the Krayon also here at IBA.

Lyric info from comments at Weazle Zippers:



"Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim, Alhumdulillahi Rabil A’lameen, We gettin' Arab Money, We gettin' Arab Money" is the actual chorus. It's Arabic and means: Praise be to God (Allah), Lord of the Worlds, The beneficial, the merciful.

The supposed verses ?
I don't hear that in his video

They are definately saying something about Allah. I can't figure it out.

Damien said...

Pastorius,

Wouldn't it be funny if one of these days a singer makes a singer critical of Jihad and Islam and it specifically mentions you and the Infidel Bloggers Alliance?

Pastorius said...

That would be cool, but I would anticipate they'd mention Jihad Watch or Atlas Shrugs first. Those are the heavies.

Damien said...

Pastorius,

You seem to be showing your more humble side.
