Open Season- anti jihad music video
One thing I have wondered is why America has such a negative reputation overseas, yet we have the most gargantuan entertainment complex imaginable, If they wanted to make us look positive they could, but they view us as flawed and therefore project that image into our entertainment. Lately the jihadis have gotten into the i Life and started putting out some kick ass beheading and martyrdom videos. Sad as it sounds that qualifies as pop culture in too much of the Muslim world. Every once in a while you catch a little push back and Rich Ward of Stuck Mojo has got some for the Islamists
Call me an alarmist, but this is not about Iraq or the so called "War On Terrorism", this is about a worldwide movement that is compelled by spiritual teachings to convert us or kill us. It's not about Israel or America, if it was then why is this virus present in Algeria, Sudan, Somalia, Indonesia, the former Soviet Union, the Philippines, India, France, Spain and 1.5 million dead in Darfur. But I thought this whole thing was about Israel and America. Then why are Buddhist and Hindu temples set on fire and the followers of these peaceful religions attacked?.....
This video is NOT attacking Islam. This video is NOT lumping all followers of Islam in with the terrorists. No one in the Stuck Mojo organization is a racist or a bigot, but I refuse to ignore these events so as to keep from offending anyone.
If you don't like what I have to say, don't buy my album.
Respectfully, Rich Ward
His whole explanation was well thought out and delivered. There is no hate involved only a rejection of an ideology aimed at us with bad intent. It would be wrong to ignore an oft-stated goal of our avowed enemies; they have sworn to conquer or kill us. We need to make our answer clear. Now some pounding metal for your non-dhimmifying ass. (h/t Allah from HotAir) Oh yeah, naughty words.

Excellent song by the band Stuck Mojo. You can download copies of their songs for free at Stuck Mojo Media. You can also order copies of their CD and bonus DVD. I, for one, hope that if we ever launch... [Read More]
Tracked on Dec 18, 2006 8:38:38 PM






























Thanks for posting this, Uncle Jimbo, it's the first I've heard this groups music. I have heard of the band, just never heard any tunes.
I tend to agree with you on this, and my take is that you don't stick your head in the sand and figure if you make nice, then you will be spared.
Posted by: Mike | December 18, 2006 at 02:36 PM
Gee, I hope no IslamoFacists are offended by this.......not.
Rich Ward, tellin it like it should be by all Americans.
Stuck Mo Jo proves...it's good in da hood!!!
Posted by: JihadGene | December 18, 2006 at 02:39 PM
This thing's just on fire!!
I saw the vid on another site, went to the band's site, read the lyrics for "America" and bought my first "rap"(ish) album!
Now here it is on B5......great minds link alike, I guess.

where can we pick up a copy- I want that on my Ipod when I am at the gym :)
Posted by: Lt. J. A .Fishman | December 18, 2006 at 03:03 PM
Perfect gym music....
Think that'll get play on Al-Jazeera??
Posted by: Old Tanker | December 18, 2006 at 03:27 PM
Uncle Jimbo;
I think you said it best. Radical Islam is indeed an ideology and not a religion. We defeated the ideology of Communism and we can deteat the ideology of Radical Islam as well. We just need to figure out how to do this in spite of the Radical Left.
Posted by: Steve O. | December 18, 2006 at 03:54 PM
Totally Shiny!! Thanx Jimbo. And thanx Stuck Mojo. Rap or Hip Hop is something which generally just sours my bile, these guys though, Sierra Hotel! Would this be “Metal Rap?” They may have just made a convert.
I could just envision this being pumped out at ultra high decibels from our rotored warbirds flying in close support of our boots on the ground while performing a sweep and hold. Like Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries in Apocalypse Now.
Posted by: Esoterik | December 18, 2006 at 04:49 PM
Awesome! Always willing to listen to new music....and this has some thought behind it. Rap on Stuck Mojo!
Posted by: Mary*Ann | December 18, 2006 at 05:00 PM
Excellent!
Posted by: Maggie | December 18, 2006 at 05:31 PM
HOLY HEAVY METAL HEAVEN UNCLE JIMBO!!
I bought the CD before the video was finished and there's plenty more where Open Season came from..."I'm American" and "For The Cause of Allah" come to mind immediately.
Now all that's left on my Christmas is for the next person to ask what's playing on my i-pod to be an "Ethics in Media and Journalism" major who's interning with the Associated Press.
Posted by: Fallen' Angel | December 18, 2006 at 05:44 PM
Well..... DAMN!
First Rap-style song I ever heard that I could relate to. My wife and I do video, and this one is cut just right. I'll follow up on this band and buy their CDs. Vote with my wallet.
That is terrific!
Posted by: Peyton | December 18, 2006 at 05:52 PM
I also don't like rap, but some have been showing support. Their is a group called 4th25 who made their album in Iraq. It's all about their time in Iraq. They are also a lot better than any of that mainstream crap.

Posted by: Randall | December 18, 2006 at 06:13 PM
I LIKE IT!!!!!
Oh yeah, great gym music. Not into all the cussin' but oh, well ...
I'm a metal head from waaaaaaaay back and the lyrics just warm the heart, ya know?
Posted by: OldSoldier54 | December 18, 2006 at 06:17 PM
Here is a perfect marriage of genre and subject, done very well. As a musician myself, I tend to be very picky about music - love all styles, but not everything. This is awesome. I will be looking into more of this if only to support someone who uses their BRAIN to write lyrics instead of sliding along the mushy side of life.
Posted by: Mommynator | December 18, 2006 at 06:27 PM
That video kicks ass.......and they've got my support now.
Never heard of them before, but I'm going to let everyone I know about these guys...
finally some artists that rap what I think...
thanks B5

TBinSTL-
Thanks for the link! Just ordered mine (CD & DVD)! They take PayPal...sweet! For $15 delivered in the USA, that's a great deal! I guess you're never too old to learn to like "some" new R Rated music. R for Right On!JG

"We defeated the ideology of Communism"
Let me introduce you to a place you've probably never heard of: Steve, Cuba; Cuba, Steve. I'll just let you two get better acquainted. But, if it doesnt end up working out I could always introduce you to North Korea or Vietnam as well.
Posted by: Darthparrish | December 19, 2006 at 01:28 AM
Darth, I wouldn't label either of those three places ideologically Communisim. Cuba and NK are straight up strongman dictatorships with varying levels Marxist or Maoist influence. North Vietnam was always the odd one out in the Comintern. Steve O was trying to make a point about the USSR. I know it's a bit before our time, but it existed and once was scary!
Anyway, great song!
Posted by: Geo | December 19, 2006 at 01:39 AM
Outstanding Uncle Jimbo, these guys give me the warm and fuzzies! I haven't enjoyed pissed-off music so much since old Metallica......
Seriously though, this has got to be a totally cool and original new genre, with the added bonus of pissing off a whole lot of people.
Posted by: diana | December 19, 2006 at 01:41 AM
OH, DARTH!!
Man, I love the way you say things, but you are such an ass-hat! BUT, my kind of ass-hat. (said in a truly affectionate kind of way!)
Geo is right, but you have a point. Basically, the doctrinaire communists were defeated. China, Vietnam, and Cuba are communist in name only, but you do have a point. Words matter.
I just ordered the CD. I also hate rap, but some of it is good stuff. Eminem's "Little Soldiers" is one, this album appears to be loaded with more.

Welll lets see when Castro(ated) drops dead the dream dies with him. Gee golly you didn't point that out with a snide remark now did you?
Vietnam is going through change just like China. Economic as well as governmental change. the old guard are dropping like flies and the younger leaders taking over are making room for change.
What no snide remarks for that either? Wow no suprises there.
North Koera is dying from within. Just wait untill a really hard winter followed by a wet summer hit Koera. You'll see. Well not you because you only see what you want and not whats there.

This kind of crap is sure to win the hearts and minds.
Go ahead and give terrorists more recruiting tools. They will play this on Aljazeera as proof that America hate Muslims.
Now my brothers in Iraq have to deal with more foreign fighters.
Posted by: Yes Col. | December 19, 2006 at 10:09 AM
Sweet! This video is spreading like wildfire. I first saw it posted on LGF last night, then saw that it was posted at HotAir and then a coworker told me they had it at Op-For, then the guys there said they found it through Blackfive. This is excellent! This is what I wrote in my blog regarding some wishful thinking I had:
Also, if you guys want to laugh your *sses off, be sure to check this out, a MAD TV parody of English-speaking Al Jazeera: Good Evening... And Death to America.
Posted by: Michael in MI | December 19, 2006 at 10:32 AM
"They will play this on Aljazeera as proof that America hate Muslims."
Oh please. They have been playing lying propaganda and brainwashing their people for DECADES saying that Americans and Jews hate Muslims. Try going to MEMRI TV to find out how no matter what we do, they still brainwash their people with lies about America. If Muslims will not stand by Americans when we attack terrorists, then their hearts and minds are not able to be won.
Hell, they think just the fact that America is in Afghanistan and Iraq is proof that America hates Muslims! I guess we should just pullout and never defend ourselves from Muslim attacks again, so we can win their hearts and minds and make them not think we hate them. Give me a break.

===========================================
jarhead, this is not a pretty song - it's a TRUTHFUL song. Sometimes truth is not pretty and requires a more ugly approach. Doesn't make it any less true.
Posted by: Mommynator | December 19, 2006 at 10:58 AM
There is no hate involved only a rejection of an ideology aimed at us with bad intent.
A man that cannot hate injustice, Jimbo, is no man of virtue.
Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.
That being said, I like the sound of that Arabish music in the Islamic Jihad propaganda videos. Very catchy. I find the heavy metal scene too discordant, causes the inner rage to be brought out. That's too expensive.
Posted by: Ymarsakar | December 19, 2006 at 03:20 PM
What’s the matter Ymarsakar, worried about becoming a “rage junkie.” C’mon, just a little taste. It won’t bite.
Besides, I hear that strapping yourself up with C4 is a good cure for that.
Posted by: Esoterik | December 19, 2006 at 03:40 PM
Mommynator
I can care less about the lyrics. Musically these guys SUCK!!!
"If you don't like what I have to say, don't buy my album" I wont buy your album because you're a terrible band. They can't rap and they're not heavy metal.
Posted by: jarhead | December 19, 2006 at 04:23 PM
I am already a rage junkie. If by rage you either mean bezerker rage where you gain increased stamina and 10X more pain tolerance, or just cold and calculated fury.
It is too expensive meaning, self-control doesn't come without cost, and if there's nothing to kill or blow up or kick in, well then if you can't dissipate it you must contain it. Containing rage is very expensive in terms of willpower.
I heard that if you tie 4 terrorists together, use treplanation on one of the 4 in order to scoop out the brains and put a grenade inside the treplaned skull, then finally pulling the pin on the grenade and throwing all 4 into the sea, that it would also be a good cure. Strapping terrorists with C4 in order to alleviate rage, a nice solution, but I like mine more.

==================================================
You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. However, if you want to hear bad music, try going to a few "indie" music concerts before you judge. There's some spectacularly good bands out there, and equally horrible ones.
The fact that this man mixed his rap with his metal shouldn't be a problem.
Personally, I thought the dancing guitarist was charming.

I think you haven't been wearing ear protection around the 105's & 155mm's.

What an excellent article. What a great set of references. What superb poetry/music in "Open Season".
As an Anglican Yorkshire Welsh Islamic Jew living in Saudi Arabia (joke), I can only repeat the old Arab saying:
"Four things come not back: the spoken word, the spent arrow, the past, the neglected opportunity."
- Omar Idn Al-Halif mo. (I don't know who Omar was - not a Taliban, I think, anyway.)
Which basically means that Westerners are likely to have a hard time changing things - since the Muslim ideological dogma has been stuck in the past for at least 600 years already.
I can't find the details, but I recall reading a quote from a British envoy to the Arab lands reporting back to Queen Elizabeth to the effect that the British Empire (i.e., rest of the world) was pretty much likely going to have to come to a compromise with Islam at some stage.
We are experiencing the historical process that could arrive at that compromise. (Except the Koran tells us that there can be no compromise with Islamic ideological dogma.) We may not like it, but it looks like compromise is being attempted, or will be. I am interested in whatever the outcome may be. All I see is Muslims killing people, and I wonder if Islam may be "666" (the number of the Beast) - anti-life, anti-Christ. If it is, then it is the Enemy, and it is implacable, and it would like nothing better than to see God's children killing themselves over a perverted dispute as to whose god is best.
Regards,
IainB.
