- America wants to oppress us very clearly. I will beat it in the ear to make it both deaf and blind. Once they interrogate us about our religion then about the atom. They have lost their path in this game. They tell us we are terrorists. They have never understood who we are...We are Iranian and are proud of that...Nuclear Energy is our definite right...They say we seek atomic bomb in the shadow of energy...We are ready for negotiation. You come forward too...We have hundreds and even thousands of atomic bombs. We will die for our land. When it comes to an invader, all Iranian become atomic bombs. Your land will be destroyed to remove you from the map. Your name has never been in the map. Tell me what your name is, the Zionist Israel...You have been a disgrace for the Jewish people...You die for a piece of land. Everybody knows that you are a homeless group...Send our case to the Security Council. Having this population we do not fear anybody...They have a non-complete religion...that Danish guy drew a cartoon of Islam's prophet...This is Islam which is a very complete religion...You infidels are all filth in our religion...my religion allows me to beat you to death...you are alcoholic, well drink! We will also say cheers. Solve this problem with your brains...If you support this meaningless job [I assume they mean insulting Islam or being not nice with Iran], we will kill you.

Following on the Rap Theme -- Iranian Rap
This post is owed to Arash from kmgr.blogspot.com, who provides information about and a link to the underground Iranian rap group Ahwaz Rapooo. While most weazl's revenge readers won't be able to understand Persian, a song of theirs may be heard here. And Arash (I think) has translated part of the lyrics as follows:

Nice lyrics.
I see they've learned to mimic their President's threatening style of speech. All they left out was threatening to cut someones head off.
Just curious, isn't it a little hypocritical to use hip-hop as a forum against Western influence?
I'm not sure it critiques Western influence, but rather Western interference.
Just my opinion, and I can't speak for them, as I can't even understand their lyrics.
Dear Da Weaz
I tried to write the Persian lyrics and then to translate it in a way that you can read it with the same tune. Any way, you are absolutely allowed to copy anything from my blog.
Arash
Not this song specifically, I agree that it is about Western interference, but in general most Islamist movements would like to remove any Western influence i.e. McDonald's from their countries.
I have no idea about this groups political viewpoint other then they are extremely pro-national.
I know you're going to jump all over this, but I think we should treat Muslims in this country exactly as Islamic countries treat non-Muslims.
That's an overstatement, I have an aide from Ghana who is Muslim but even she hates Arabs....as well as George Bush.
I'm working on her...
I think the basic principle is that one should treat people of foreign decent the same way that one would treat their own countrymen (at one's home country). This would promote the practice of equal standards for all resident countrymen without regard to original decent. This would mean that a country would not operate double standards, with primary and secondary citizens.
As an international principle this need not apply. I don't think that people necessarily need to sink into international cultural relativism. Basic notions of human rights, social solidarity, justice and freedom should apply to citizens of all nations. These ideas can be pushed from the international fora, and from nationals directed towards their own governments.
The point is then that a person should expect the same status as other people of the country of residence, and given a conflict regarding basic human rights should also have the capacity to take recourse to basic international standards when these rights are violated. This would (given the proper grounds) improve the standards of the country at issue, and thus work towards a better standard for all people in that country.
The main thrust of this argument is then that human standards and rights should improve and not sink. An eye-for-an-eye style argument lacks this progressive element.

The simplest answer to your charge of treating Muslims in your country the same way that non-Muslims are treated in their countries is that you have abandoned any capacity to self define your own values. You then become a slave to your perceived notions of how others are treated.
And regarding your Ghanaian friend, are you teaching her to love Arabs or the Moron?
Methinks Arabs are far more deserving. And the Moron can't even get Americans to respect the job he's (not) doing, much less love the bastard.
