Pentagon Calls Song 'Insensitive,' 'Inappropriate'
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PENTAGON CALLS ONLINE SONG ‘INSENSITIVE,’ ‘INAPPROPRIATE’
Music video ‘contrary to the high standards expected of all Marines’

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 6/13/06) - The U.S. Marine Corps today 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.”

Yesterday, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) called on the Pentagon and Congress to investigate the four-minute video posted in March on the youtube.com website.

The video, called “hadji girl,” purports to be a “marine in iraq [sic] 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 tells of a U.S. Marine’s encounter with an Iraqi woman. It was viewed by almost 50,000 people. (The video was removed from the youtube.com website after CAIR issued its news release.)

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 f**kers to eternity . . .They should have known they were f**king with the Marines.” Members of the audience, not shown in the video, laughed and cheered wildly for these lyrics.

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.

The fact that CAIR finds it offensive makes it that much funnier.

I saw that yesterday. I went to the youtube site and the video was removed by poster. I have to admit, it didn't do much for the hearts and minds but it was funny.
I guess CAIR doesn't have a sense of humor

I just saw the video. Pretty clever song! Not sure what all the fuss is about. We have more violent songs on the radio in the states.

You want to hear something dirty? Just go to any lyric site and look up some of the unedited lyrics of the top Pop, R&B, and Rap artist and then we can start talking about the derogatory stuff out there. The movie ratings (I think) have also gone down the drain. Remember when the John Wayne movies were rated "R", now who knows what they should be rated but at least those films were quaility. Same with any Steve McQueen, James Stewart, or Humphrey Bogart movie where they had guns. Today you can make anything, "edit" it, and put it on the big screen. In a few months you will come out with the "Unrated" version.

Hollywood and record companies have been doing that a lot and it's starting to piss me off.

Uhmm, I'm having trouble following this. Maybe I'm just tired, but this doesn't make a lot of sense.

I'm just saying how bad some of the music is out there and some of the terrible movies Hollywood has produced.

I orginally got on the topic the quote on my last post on the subject.

The orginal topic was a movie banned from www.youtube.com about a Marine singing a song called "Hadji Girl" that was banned from "youtube" by the CAIR.

(sorry for any mis-conceptions)
