US 'Marines' Cheer Song About Killing Iraqi Civilians (children)

According to CAIR, four-minute video, called “hadji girl,” purports to be a “marine in iraq singing a song about hadji.” (A “Hajji” is a person who has made the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, but the term has often been used as a pejorative by U.S. troops in Iraq.) The song, posted online in March, tells of a U.S. Marine’s encounter with an Iraqi woman. It has been viewed by almost 50,000 people.

The song’s lyrics include: “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. . .I blew those little fkers to eternity . . .They should have known they were fking with the Marines.” Members of the audience, not shown in the video, laughed and cheered wildly for these lyrics.

After CAIR contacted teh authorities, The U.S. Marine Corps on June 13, 2006 said it agrees with a prominent national Islamic advocacy group that a video posted on the Internet apparently showing Marines cheering a song that glorifies the killing of Iraqi civilians is “insensitive” and “inappropriate.”

This is just sad…And many mod-Muslims will have you believe that such hatred is acceptable behaviour coming from Americans…

But let a Muslim speak out against any atrocity and you’ll see the same mod-Muslims lashing out at them…

If a Muslim speaks out against atrocity, he is labelled as a fundametalist…Yet, this guy’s hate song is acceptable behaviour…

This is the power of propaganda and media manipulation…You can be stabbing someone in the heart, yet if you know how to control the mind of others, you can make them believe it’s for their own good…

The sad thing is that their attrocities are finally coming out in the public, yet people are silent on all of these and seemingly turning deaf ears.

A met a guy couple of weeks back…He was 19 and was going into the marines…

I started talking to him and asked him why he was going into the marines, he replied simply that there was no one to support him…The marine corps was paying for his education, food, and after three years, he would only work one week a month as an active duty member…He was starting off at $43,000 and all his expenses from laundry to food was being paid by the US government…He would be insured medically from head to toe…

He has a contract to be in the marines for 8 years during which he would have no expenses apart from what he spends on himself, so basically, all that earning would simply be sitting in the bank earning interest…So after 8 years of starting out at $43,000 per year with chances from promotion and earning even more in the long run, you are looking at someone with a secure future…

What 19 year old coming from a poor and broken home can resist the above mentioned benefits…

But that wasn’t the thing which got me…What struck me was that the kid was truly a nice and well mannered kid…Soft spoken and very respectful…Nothing like the typical American you’d imagine…And I have met many…

What you are saying is American mentality…Like we would blame every German soldier for the crimes of Hitler…

He was such a nice kid, I truly felt for him…I wished him luck and told him not to in the marines what I myself wouldn’t do…He knew what I was talking about…

I wouldn;t want this kid hurt…But he’s being led by self interest…And once he raises that rifle on an innocent Iraqi, he automatically becomes the enemy of humanity…

Your sentiments may well be best reserved and suited for the guy signing in that link Anwaar posted…But certainly not for everyone…

It’s always the very few nice guys who open up the truth behind the brutality and massacre…There are, not many, but few with a conscience…

Remember, it was a soldier, Daniel Ellsburg who released the Pentagon Papers and showed the inhumanity and merciless workings of the US government behind the Vietnam war…

Who knows?

Not exactly... following is from the email I received from CAIR:

In a statement, the Marine Corps said:

"The Marine Corps has recently been made aware of a video posted to a website that purports to show a Marine singing an insensitive song about Iraqis. The video has subsequently been removed from the website. The video that was posted anonymously is clearly inappropriate and contrary to the high standards expected of all Marines. The video is not reflective of the tremendous sacrifices and dedication demonstrated, on a daily basis, by tens of thousands of Marines who have assisted the Iraqi people in gaining their freedom. We agree with the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations that the inappropriate actions of a few individuals should not tarnish the reputation of all American military personnel."

**"We welcome the Marine Corps statement, but we also expect that those who participated in this incident will be identified and disciplined appropriately," said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad. **Awad added that he hoped Congress would conduct hearings on this and similar incidents.

CAIR, America's largest Muslim civil liberties group, has 32 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

Its happening time after time and these news just get lost in the Media.

I feel so helpless

Re: US 'Marines' Cheer Song About Killing Iraqi Civilians (children)

No Muslim in their right mind, "mod" or "fundamentalist", or even "kaffir" will justify this sick behaviour by saying it is acceptable. This is just disgusting. Rather than attacking your fellow Muslims as you have done with this post, turn your anger and disgust towards the American army who so rightly deserve to be severally punished for these hideous crimes against humanity.

That song is absoulutely right out of a horror movie. No excuse for its lack of humanity. So please dont get me wrong with what I will try to say here....

As posted previously, most of the recruits who are sent over there are decent human beings who are looking to better themselves. They get caught up in the "war zone" where they DONT KNOW what they'll face each day - a nice little family at a checkpoint may have their car loaded to the gills with explosives. Thats what they live with and thats what becomes their reality. So they get very callous. Does this mean that I condone it? NOT AT ALL. I dont even think we should be there in the first place. All I'm trying to say is that WAR causes even the most humane of people to lose their humanity.

Re: US 'Marines' Cheer Song About Killing Iraqi Civilians (children)

He's not blaming muslims. He's saying every tom dick and harry in the marines is not a natural born evil killer, but that sometimes perfectly good people who might as well be muslims as far as their character goes are driven to join the 'fight' due to self interest, or just plain naivity.

14

Re: US 'Marines' Cheer Song About Killing Iraqi Civilians (children)

I know he's not blaming Muslims. What he said in his first post is that "mod Muslims" will condone this behaviour as acceptable by Americans and whoever speaks out against it will be labelled as a fundo by their fellow Muslims. I disagree with that. Nobody in their right mind, regardless of their beliefs will find this behaviour acceptable or even try and justify it.

Re: US 'Marines' Cheer Song About Killing Iraqi Civilians (children)

Mehnaz...thing is even on these boards if you visit the WA forum you`ll find a few so called muslims ready to defend many such actions, and if not defend they do turn a blind eye to them.....

Mamaof3 just tried to justify this behaviour, after disliking it, in her last sentence:)

Re: US ‘Marines’ Cheer Song About Killing Iraqi Civilians (children)

I saw AQ. I did say “nobody in their right mind”. :cb:

No offence Mama … I am just kidding. :flower1:

Re: US 'Marines' Cheer Song About Killing Iraqi Civilians (children)

Mamaof3 made a very true statement......

Re: US ‘Marines’ Cheer Song About Killing Iraqi Civilians (children)

I agree… it is proven by history… Historically, during Crusades, before Sultan Salahuddin:rehm: won the battle, Christians did a massacre in Jerusalem. History is also witness about the blood of muslims flowing in Spain when christians took over it…

I won’t go to the example of Fatah-e-Makkah for people can give me the excuse of Prophet:saw: being the Most perfect person where not even a single person was killed when he entered Makkah.

Rather, I will come again to the Crusades. Did Salahuddin show the same inhumane behaviour too when he took over Jerusalem?
