Anti-Terrorism Tune Tops Pop Charts in Pakistan
Posted by Bill The reaction has been huge. The song shot to No. 1 in Pakistan. And thanks to the Web, it's gone global. There have been 65,000 downloads thus far. The song (with English subtitles) is here. Can't say I dig the tune, but I love the message. (Via Claude Pate) Posted by Bill at August 9, 2007 11:26 AM | TrackBack (0) CommentsIt will interesting to see how radical islam responds if this phenom takes off. for that matter i wonder how the Today Show, Katie Couric, Jon Stewart or MTV would react. Would they ever give this message airtime? i think it unlikely. CAIR would scare them to death with a few press releases. In the Fox piece the kids say they get hassled by town beards. their lives are probably already in danger from friday sermonizing. Still, the more popular this message gets through music and western pop culture, the better obviously, unless its a clever islamicized Rovian plot. Posted by: Mike D at August 9, 2007 10:16 PM Certainly will be great if it is not like other protests against terror in the Islamic world. Where indeed there were protests against terror but it was protesting against terror attacks against other Muslims, not attacks against Jews, Christians, Atheists, Animists and the rest of the folks not Muslim. But hey its a start and thank god for small favors. Posted by: Pierre Legrand at August 10, 2007 06:34 PM Thanks for the mention; don't know how I missed this post, as I try to stop by regularly. Guess I should Technorati more often. BTW, you'll be popping up in a guest-post I'm working on for Protein Wisdom. Posted by: Karl at August 22, 2007 01:34 AM |
