Wicked anti-Bush music video, in Arabic

[onager]

As most of you know, I've been working in Egypt for a long time now.

I often scan the 3 music channels available on the hotel cable (2 channels in Arabic, the other is RTL from Italy).

Even if you don't speak a word of Arabic, I think you'll get the message of this video. Heh. The artist is Shams, a Kuwaiti woman.

I'm posting the link from this site because it explains the video in English, including some regional cultural references most of us furriners wouldn't catch:

1. Not only the message,

but a humanizing view of the messenger that counters the Corporatist Media images of Muslims as all being crazed bogeymen. The fact is that there are no more crazies among other religions in other countries than in the US. Maybe less. Unfortunately for the world, the US is now ruled by a prime example of that type of maniac.

Thanks for the link. It helps us learn who "us" really includes.

3. That was fun...

And even though I didn't understand a word of the song, it was very upbeat and fun. I loved the imagery. Answer something for me, though. They know that not all of us share his extremely insane world view, right?
