Deeyah vs. the Mohamatons
This is Deeyah. Deeyah is a Muslim, but some of the other Muslims don't like her too much. Partly it's because she doesn't look the way she's supposed to look. Partly it's because they don't like her lyrics. Excerpt:
FROM THE LAND OF THE FREE TO THE JEWEL OF THE EMPIRE
DOES THE TRUTH ONLY COME FROM THE TOP OF A HOLY MAN'S SPIRE?
FROM THREE PACES BACK, COVERED HEAD TO TOE
ARE THE RULES JUST FOR THE MASSES AND WRITTEN JUST FOR SHOW?
DO YOU STAND UP, LAY DOWN OR FOLLOW?
WHAT WILL IT BE?
WILL IT ALL BE THE SAME AGAIN TOMORROW?
WHAT WILL IT BE?
YOU CAN CLAIM IT BUT THE WORDS ARE HOLLOW
DO YOU STAND UP, LAY DOWN OR SWALLOW?
WHAT WILL IT BE?
