Sounds like a rather niggardly approach.

What a bunch of nonsense to criticize Mr. Daniels over the "rag head" stuff. I live in a predominantly (but not overwhelmingly) Moslem neighborhood. None of them wear turbans - NONE!!!

They do wear those little beanies that Popes and Jews wear, but only during prayers, or at a religious meeting. Otherwise they are bareheaded just like the rest of us.

Sikhs are the fellows best known for turbans. Frankly, they are not complaining about Moslems getting killed or insulted.

If people would like to complain about this song, they might well discover what really offends folks and what does not. Charlie is not offending anybody except the rag heads in the caves in Afghanistan who attacked this country and murdered many thousands of its citizens. People who are bothered when the Taliban and alQueda are bothered probably ought to be shipped out to join their brethren - and quick!

Please don't refer to people, that just happen to say sorry a lot, with the "a" word. If it happens again, I'll have to report you ... honkey.

"It's obviously offensive to Muslims and Arab-Americans in that the equivalent of the n-word for Muslims has been 'rag head,'" said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington-based Islamic advocacy group.

No "rag head" is not the equivalent of the 'n-word'. The equivalent of the 'n-word' is "sand n-word" to be exact.

It can only be offensive if you consider what you have wrapped around your head to be a rag. Anyhow, who cares what these so easily offended groups think?

Obviously not or the author would have said "r-word" instead of rag head.

"This ain't no rag/It's the flag/And we don't wear it on our heads/It's a symbol of the land where the good guys live,"

Sounds about right Charlie. Rag head, towel head, blanket head... so what!

Anyone who believes women are second class citizens and Allah wants Muslims to kill innocent Christians and Jews, is both stupid and crazy, not to mention, very dangerous too.

I'd sure like to see these so-called "moderate" Muslim's in the US, come out of hiding and strongly speak out against extremists in al Qaeda and the Taliban. But I wouldn't count on that happening anytime soon.

Don't know what happened. The picture was there when I posted.
