Thats the problem with free speech, isn't it. Sometimes people will say stuff you don't like.

Or perhaps you only believe in free speech as long as you agree with what they are saying?

What is the difference between this and what every hipster in OWS has been trained to repeat? I just don't see the big deal.

The first amendment applies to everyone. These Muslim artists are not the only ones with anti-government messages. How about Green Day, Eminem, NOFX, RATM, Rise Against, Bad Religion, The Dead Kennedys, etc. etc. etc.?

I'm not saying I condone any of it. I'm just saying you can't have you cake and eat it too.

I feel like this could put American lives in danger. I truly believe that. You don't understand how hyped the majority muslim audience was at this concert.

We shouldn't condone that either. OWS is just a bunch of muslim loving druggie socialists under the banner of "patriotism"...

Seen it with my own eyes at wall street.

Muslims using music to spread anti-American ideals.... IN AMERICA??,

Sure. Why not? Seems a lot of people spread hate and other things via so-called music. Do you see the kiddos on the street corners bouncing and jiggling to the 'music' that says women are whores and cops should be shot? They have those lyrics pounded into their pointy lil' heads all day long .. over and over ...

It's an effective way to kinda be hypnotic about it all and the people don't even suspect ...

Nothing new
Music taking a moment to criticize America.
This is perfectly normal, And its a good thing overall.
Bob Dillon did it, Rage against the Machine, Megadeth, etc.

I don't like the music much, nor do I agree with the message, but its their right to voice their concerns and comparisons.
The people whom will vote will note that it is not as clearcut as the lyrics suggest, the ones that believe it is the entire story won't vote anyhow, will forget what day to vote, won't register, etc. They don't matter.

I don't think questioning the government, or pointing out the detatchment, flaws, and other such things is anti-american. Frankly, such actions are very much American..a responsibility really.

EXACTLY! so where is THIS gonna lead?
All these songs might as well be called "I HATE AMERICA"...while 2 of these guys live here and cater to muslim audiences!

They're only fighting back against anti-Muslim ideals spread by US media.

I feel like your anthem and patriotism puts peoples lives in danger. Maybe the world ought to ban it and people like you?
