Did you notice how Jon Stewart introduced him as simply “Yusef”, and didn’t use his last name, Yusef Islam?

"Why are the young hip folks pretending to be their grandparents?"

You can't be a good Democrat without hating Nixon and Bush. The two blend into one and determines what your line of action will be: feel morally justified to retreat from all conflict and writes songs about the tyranny of those two Republican presidents. Everybody from Neil Young to Greenday have done this and future generations are expected to do it as well.

He was denied entry in 2004 and sent back to the U.K.

I'm thinking if one were to dig deep enough there must have been some intervention to get him allowed.

He performs under the single name now.

the fatwa issued against Salman Rushdie issued by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

A tyrannical religion that tolerates fatwas deserves to forfeit its rights to and privileges of tolerance, and to have them revoked.

Jericho was turned back over to the arabs in 1994. I happened to be in Israel on that very day as well. Sad day.

RE: Why not just post them here?


Maybe you can teach me how to post a Video on FR because I don’t know how...

Yes I did, and he even tried to Anglicize the name, first calling him “Joseph”.

If the Youtube link was what you were asking for then going to the Hotair would have been the same thing.

I thought you wanted the ACTUAL VIDEO posted on this thread without having to go to any other link...

Someone finds a video of interest.

They want to share it.

Do they:

A. Post it on their blog, and then post a link to the blog here?

B. Post the link to the video HERE?

Answer “A” is for blogpimps.
Answer “B” is for real FReepers.

Pick one.

I did post the link to the video. Click on the HOTAIR link just below the title of the thread and you see the video.

So the instruction to CLICK ON THE ABOVE LINK TO SEE THE VIDEO doesn’t take more clicks than clicking on YOUTUBE.
