Look Into My Eyes by Outlandish Lyrics Look into my eyes Tell me what you see You don't see a damn thing 'cause you can't relate to me You're blinded by our differences My life makes no sense to you I'm the persecuted one You're the red, white and blue Each day you wake in tranquility No fears to cross your eyes Each day I wake in gratitude Thanking God He let me rise You worry about your education And the bills you have to pay I worry about my vulnerable life And if I'll survive another day Your biggest fear is getting a ticket As you cruise your Cadillac My fear is that the tank that has just left Will turn around and come back Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes? Do you let your media deceive your mind? Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows Someone tell me... Ooohh, let's not cry tonight I promise you one day it's through Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters See I've known terror for quite some time 57 years so cruel Terror breathes the air I breathe It's the checkpoint on my way to school Terror is the robbery of my land And the torture of my mother The imprisonment of my innocent father The bullet in my baby brother The bulldozers and the tanks The gases and the guns The bombs that fall outside my door All due to your funds You blame me for defending myself Against the ways of my enemies I'm terrorized in my own land What am I the terrorist? Do you know the truth of where your money goes? Do you let your media deceive your mind? Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows? Someone tell me... Ooohh, let's not cry tonight, I promise you one day it's through Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters, Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters, America, do you realize that the taxes that you pay Feed the forces that traumatize my every living day So if I won't be here tomorrow It's written in my fate May the future bring a brighter day The end of our wait (pause) Ooohh, let's not cry tonight, I promise you one day it's through Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters, Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters, Ohh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day is through Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters! Ooh shine a light for every Soul that ain't with us no more Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!

Movies:
I Only Ask of God by Outlandish

Linkin Park - What I've Done

Sami Yusuf - Hasbi Rabbi

Books:
Qur'an, The Communist Manifesto (Karl Marx), Copernicus Revolution (From The Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies - Nicholas Copernicus), and Discourse on Method (Rene Descartes) Recommended reading: Muhammad (Critical Lives) by Yahiya Emerick and Yahiya J. Emerick For those interested, Richard Gabriel, an excellent writer and historian, has a book which was released on September 28, 2007 titled Muhammad Islam's First Great General Film Preview - No End in Sight 

I went to see this film last Saturday and highly recommend it. After viewing this, even those who still naively support the current administration, or the war in Iraq, must come to the conclusion that it is wrong. The U.S. has made so many critical mistakes, all exposed in this documentary. In depth interviews with General Jay Garner, Lawrence Wilkerson (Colin Powell's chief of staff), and Barbra Bodine (former US Ambassador to Yemen). The film concentrates on Bush's pure ignorance of what was going on and Rumsfeld's deliberate lack of planning. How the administration totally ignored their own military commanders and ORHA (Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance). It highlights the post-invasion looting, The disbandment of the Iraqi army, the destruction of Iraq's art and culture, and the proof that there was no connection between Saddam Hussein and the attacks of 9/11.

Recommended Video Documentary - Peace, Propaganda and The Promised Land - A must-watch video explaining how Media coverage in the United States is distorted to fortify support for the brutal Israel occupation of Palestine. Some of the key issues discussed is the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian by Israel, the United States involvement and support of Israel, war crimes, "terrorism", media manipulation, how three million refugees became displaced, and the Women in Black. Note: This video may take a while to load, and runs for a little over an hour, but is well worth viewing.
