"Hammond said he has no problem giving airplay to the new song. He said he doesn't believe the rag-on-the-head lyric refers to Muslim head attire, but rather to bandanas decorated with the stars and stripes of the U.S. flag."

Pleassssssssssssse, he has to be kidding. The PC Police are killing me.

Zaynab Karnes has the right to be offended, and I have the right not to give a crap.

It's a free country, you silly rag head.

Welcome to FR, TB.

I have no big heartburn over the song. Why, if Daniels were creating anti-American music under the guise of the National Endowment for the Arts, you'd never hear a peep anywhere but here on FR.

Bummer.

"If the song is offensive, I figured my presence there also would be offensive," Daniels told The Hollywood Reporter.

Welcome to post-American America, Charlie.

We've got this little thing called the 1st Amendment. Perhaps Ms. Karnes could use a refresher course on the Bill of Rights.

the 28-year-old Knoxville native, whose family settled here before the Civil War. Karnes was raised Baptist but converted to Islam 1 1/2 years ago. She wears hijab, or Muslim dress, which includes a head covering.

Like that twisted freak up in Maine. What the f**k is wrong with these people? These scum who betray their own culture make me sick to my stomach.

She was offended by a song she never heard?

[B Knotts]

Karnes was raised Baptist but converted to Islam 1 1/2 years ago.

Why an American woman would convert to Islam is beyond me.

I think she ought to go whole-hog, though, and emigrate to Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia.

[Rosemarys Baby]

I find some Muslims offensive.

[atafak]

She had never heard the song until the reporter told her about it. Sounds like a reporter attempting to create PC news.

If some Muslims find charlie daniels offensive they might also find my new bumper sticker offensive. In slightly more scatalogical terms it refers to Mohammed the profhet as a fraud, child molestor (his favorite wife was a child) and the offsping of boar (infected with several venereal diseases) and a harlot. They have every right to be offended and I have every right to defend myself.

Big f*cking deal. I find these "American" muslims' lack of patriotism offensive. But you don't see the press breaking down my door for an interview.

Wonder what the silly twit would think about Charlie's "In America"...

Also, having actually met Mr. Daniels on several occassions (he lives in the same town outside Nashville that we do), I seriously doubt whether he gives a rat's hind end about what she (or anybody else, for that matter) thinks. He's an American first and foremost and that's all that matters.
