CAIR on “Hadji Girl”: It’s all about Haditha

LGF has a quote from Ibrahim Hooper explicitly drawing the connection. But Hooper’s not the only one:
Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said that in light of recent allegations of atrocities committed by Marines in Haditha and other towns in Iraq, the video should be investigated by the Pentagon and Congress.
“The inappropriate actions of a few individuals should not be allowed to tarnish the reputation of all American military personnel,” said Awad.
We’ll see what he has to say about that if and when charges are filed in the Haditha case itself. Meanwhile, Cpl. Belile is actually being asked to respond to this idiocy:
Belile said the song is a work of fiction not connected to any alleged misconduct.
“This is in no way, shape or form related to the events that happened at Haditha,” he said. “The song was written long before the events happened. The song reflects nobody’s viewpoint. It’s completely made up. It’s completely fictional.”
Belile’s band, the Sweater Kittenz, is playing at the Jacksonville Riverwalk Festival this Saturday at 2:30. He says he’ll never perform “Hadji Girl” again but there’s bound to be a lot of people there demanding it. Maybe he can change the lyrics so that this time the jihadis end up shooting him.
Update: Someone must have complained to the BBC because they’ve revised their original article about the controversy. Confederate Yankee has details.

No, he shouldn’t change it to him being shot, but if he puts the name of the CAIR members on the people who are shooting ‘at’ him it will gain more relevance.

NO!! Don’t change the lyrics. They should make a song about CAIR though. Now that would be funny. I sent them (Sweater Kittens) giving them my support. It pisses me off to no end that and institution (the military) that I served in for 22yrs before retiring would do such cowtowing to CAIR. I can’t say that it really surprised me escpecially after the IOWA incident (first blaming and enlisted) and Tailhook (only enlisted got punishment, no officers did). I support and defend our military backbone!!!!

CAIR is the last organization ANYONE should listen to. Why they haven’t been booted out of the country is beyond me.

Hmmm…. whatever happened to Freedom of Speech?
S!

Do I care? NO!
Should I? NO!
Next, the Imams will issue a fatwah to seek out and behead the infidel who wrote the song. To Hell with the lot of them!

I called the CAIR main office this morning and started singing the chorus of the song into the telepone to the woman who picked it up.
I got a very quick, very angry sounding hang-up before I got done with the first line…
Heh!!
MADE MY DAY!!! :-D

I hereby issue a “fatwa” on CAIR. Boot this anti-american, murder apologizing, terror sympathizing group out. NOW.
darwin on June 14, 2006 at 1:59 PM
venmax:
GREAT JOB!
HEAR, HEAR!

As a songwriter, shouldn’t Belile be able to collect royalties from CAIR for their webcast of his performance?
Instead of crank calling CAIR, wouldn’t it be more productive instead to inquire if they have secured the permission of the songwriter to exhibit his work and are compensating him appropriately? The RIAA has expended a lot of resources to protect copyright holders. Who wouldn’t love to see that effort used as a foundation to smack CAIR?

Found the Lyrics on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadji_Girl
I was out in the sands of Iraq
And we were under attack
And I, well I didn’t know where to go
Then the first thing that I could see
Was everybody’s favourite Burger King
So I threw open the door and I hit the floor
Then sudden to my surprise
I looked up and I saw her eyes
And I knew it was love at first sight
And she said,
Derka derka, Mohammad jihad. Sherpa sherpa abaka-la
Hadji girl, I can’t understand what you say
And she said,
Derka derka, Mohammad jihad. Sherpa sherpa abaka-la
Hadji girl, I love you anyway
Then she said that she wanted me to see
She wanted me to go meet her family
But I, well I couldn’t figure out how to say no
‘Cause I don’t speak Arabic, so
She took me down an old dirt trail
And she pulled up to a sod shanty
And she threw open the door
And I hit the floor
‘Cause her brother and her father shouted,
Derka derka, Mohammad jihad. Sherpa sherpa abaka-la
They pulled out their AK’s so I could see
And they said,
Derka derka, Mohammad jihad. Sherpa sherpa abaka-la
So I grabbed her little sister
And put her in front of me
As the bullets began to fly
The blood sprayed from between her eyes
And then I laughed maniacally
Then I hid behind the TV
And I locked and loaded my M-16
I blew those little fuckers to eternity
And I said,
Derka derka, Mohammad jihad. Sherpa sherpa abaka-la
They shoulda known they were fucking with a Marine

Anyone got a translation?

Does anyone know the real reason a Terrorist Supporting organization is allowed to live and work inside our borders?? Even Communists, Anti-American, dog-excrement, losers Durbin and Schummer have said CAIR is a Terrorist Supporting organization.

The video IS pretty tacky; however, like most tacky humor, it generally doesn’t reflect real attitudes of the comedian (unless you’re a complete moonbat with NO sense of humor). If so, would not Mecina (who REALLY slams Arabs but can do so because he isn’t white) and Chapelle need to be locked up?

What are they squawking about? Hell, they’re mouselims, so they like being dead.
dhimwit on June 14, 2006 at 4:52 PM
You see, they don’t like the word “laugh”.
It is like the word “enjoy” in Ann’s book.
Our Marines cannot laugh while blowing those bastards away.
As OReilly would say “this is cruel”.
Replace the word laugh to “yell” and put some sex into it, then change it to a rap song and let some black gangster rap it, then it would be fine main stream art. Who know…you may even win an Emmy.
By the way, I recall Madonna has a piece on our prez with gun fire, people blowing up and hand granades…I hope someone can compare the lyrics with this piece.

Derka derka, Mohammad jihad. Sherpa sherpa abaka-la
Here’s the dialog from the movie Team America, but I still can’t find a translation:
Gary Johnston: I heard there might be a large terrorist attack. If you tell me what it is, maybe I could help out.
Terrorist: Get out of here! We have put out a jihad on the infidels because they destroyed our lives. What do you know about pain and sadness?
[Gary pauses, recalls sounds of gorillas roaring]
Gary Johnston: I was just a boy when the infidels came to my village in their Blackhawk helicopters. The infidels fired at the oil fields and they lit up like the eyes of Allah. Burning oil rained down from the sky and cooked everything it touched. I could only hide myself and cry as my goats were consumed by the fiery black liquid death. In the midst of the chaos, I could swear that I heard my goats screaming for help. As quickly as they had come, the infidels were gone. It was on that day I put a jihad on them. And if you don’t believe it, then you’d better kill me now, because I’ll put a jihad on you, too.
Terrorist: I like you. You have balls. I like balls.
————————————————————
Gary Johnston: Bak. Derk-derk-Allah. Derka derka, Mohammed Jihad. Baka sherpa-sherpa. Abaka-la.
Terrorist: Ohhh! Derka derka derka!
[Allows Gary into terrorist hideout]
