LONDON, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- A U.S. intelligence analyst is accusing rap artists in Britain of moving young Muslims toward extremism through lyrics about the Iraq war.
The Times of London reported Saturday that New York Police Department analyst Madeleine Gruen said the music of some groups is "very persuasive because it is giving young people ideas and those ideas are what might motivate someone to become a jihadi."

Why do I doubt that this version of rap music is much different from any other version of rap music?
Rapper ping update!
The Times of London reported Saturday that New York Police Department analyst Madeleine Gruen said the music of some groups is "very persuasive because it is giving young people ideas and those ideas are what might motivate someone to become a jihadi."Dear Madeleine. Please consider soaking your head in a drywall bucket. Once you are through, repeat to yourself as many times as necessary: "We are at war with terrorists. Not rappers."
As far as I can tell, AMERICAN rappers should worry Western intelligence, too.
Actually, make that ALL rappers.

"The benefits of G-had"
SNIPPET: "The British authorities should be watching this character very closely. I doubt they are. And this kind of "music" should not be legal in Britain: we are in a war. This would be like a pro-Nazi song being recorded in London in the middle of the Blitz. The fact that only two record company executives are upset about this shows just how far the British have already sunk into dhimmitude.

ROFLMAO!

British-Pakistani Muslims bash Bollywood
FRANKFURT: Bollywood may wear its multi-religious pluralism as a badge of honour, but for the angry young British Muslims of Pakistani denomination, it’s all a sham and therefore a matter of extreme discomfort.
As India's oversized filmdom stampedes across the world winning accolades, a group of British Muslim youth is trashing the Bollywood genre, warning that the "cheesy second-rate imitation of Hollywood...is overrunning Pakistan and brainwashing musalmaans".
In a rap-video posted on youtube.com that is being widely circulated in Pakistani circles, the group reserves much of its venom for Bollywood’s reigning stars, many of who happen to be Muslims.
"What do you want to give your kids?/Is it Salman Khan or Islam?/Is it Shah Rukh Khan or Allah’s book?/ Is it Bobby Deol or save their souls?/ Is it Amir Khan or imaan?" intones a singer, preferring a hip-hop style to convey the message.
Hip-hop is an African-American influenced musical and cultural movement that has itself attracted criticism for its language. YouTube is a social networking website that allows users to upload, view and share videoclips and it too has attracted criticism for encouraging violence and copyright infringement.
But for the extremist Brit-Pak brigade, Bollywood bashing comes first. "Everywhere you look/It’s that kufr Bollywood/Video stores selling whores/Semi-gay actors with Muslim sounding names/With Hindu propaganda designed to create chains," goes one rant.
The unnamed group, which has produced the video from a collage of Hindi film clips and posters, says Bollywood movies are officially banned in Pakistan but it is freely available on video and DVD by piracy, which it says is "a conspiracy to allow Hindu culture thorough the backdoor."
Reports from Pakistan speak of the movie Fanaa being a big hit in the country’s underground circuit. Songs from Fanaa and other new Bollywood blockbusters are played openly in taxis and private transport.
The Pakistani elite and the ruling class lead the ranks of Bollywood aficionados, a fact that seems to rankle the British Pakistani youth who are in the limelight for their extremist views and fondness for madrassas.
"They kill Kashmiris but you still watch Mission Kashmir,’’ they admonish Pakistanis in one passage.
Another rap passage wonders: "Bollywood Bollywood what’s the future hold/ As film by film you get ever so bold/ Stories of lesbianism enter the fold/ Now you have to heat it up as it starts going cold/ Topless movies or is it incest next/ All the time it is sex sex sex."
oh man. i almost inhaled my keyboard! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Muslim rap?Is was only a matter of time.Rap always has appealed to to the cretins of the world.
how do they film the videos with all the bee-itches and ho's in burhkas????
I think you vastly overestimate the intelligence of rap fans. They really are influenced by that music.
you are right, becuase the lyrics are repeated over and over, like a mantra, and then behaviour is eventual;ly influenced and dictated by a rapper community that subscribes to the same musical genre.
Thank you PGalt for adding that link.
I would suggest that Islam itself motivates young people to become terrorists.
I have no doubt that rap is a vehicle for violence.
The two go hand-in-hand. And we won't be able to do squat about it here because of the First Amendment protections for freedom of speech and the government making no law respecting an establishment of religion.
In short, our only counterattack is to put forth equally extremist messages in defense of liberty. For, as Barry Goldwater once observed, extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.
