Lyrics (approximate translation to English)

We are threatened... (By the Flying Panthers)

We are threatened by the Muuuuuslims,
Yes we are afraid of the Islam
We are threatened by the Muuuuuslims,
Their pastor is called Imam

The men wear long white dresses, that is is very normal there
The young wear black leather jackets and a mobile telephone
Their wife is called Muslima, is a bit like a nun
They live in very tiny apartments with a satellite dish on their balcun[y]

BACKER ONE: they engage in hunger strikes
BACKER TWO: and they call it Ramadam
They have very few hobbies
And the wife is worth less than the maaaaaaan.

We are threatened by the Muuuuuslims,
Yes we are afraid of the Islam
We are threatened by the Muuuuuslims,
And they sometimes slaughter a lamb.

They get very low grades and working they don't do
They drink very strong coffee, and smoke hash or weed
They only have three names: Achmed, Ali, Mohammed
We hardly ever see their wives which are inside their apartment

MAYOR: They also have their own little language language
BAND LEADER: Not devoid of hysterics
POLICEMAN: to us it all sounds rather evil, and without any Irony....

We are threatened by the Muuuuuslims,
Yes we are afraid of the Islam
We are threatened by the Muuuuuslims,
They don't like bacon or ham

Insofar nothing threatening, no speck of dust up in the sky
What is it we're afraid of, why are they so infamous
Not because they're evil, or bored or uncivilised
But sometimes you got a Muslim who spontaneously explodes

But never, when they're alone.
Always on the market or in the traaaain.
And that's what makes them so dangerous
And so once more this refraaaaaain

We are threatened by the Muuuuuslims,
Yes we are afraid of the Islam
We are threatened by the Muuuuuslims,
Because they oft' go like Kaboom.
Because they oft' go like Kaabo...

My attempts to make it rhyme in English not very successful so far. DISCLAIMER: This is cabaret, but I do think it reflects the European sentiments quite well.

If it's one thing I hate, it's racism (and yes, this includes religion).

I'm not Muslim, but the REAL terrorists are the Muslim extremists, not all Muslims.


Get your head of of your butt and think for yourself instead of letting ignorant people do your thinking.

No, I wasn't talking to you, just the people who made the clip, lol. :D

*dances to Threatened by the Muslims song*

:fluffle:

Victonia: well, it stereotypes us Dutch people more than them I think, if you watch the clip. :D

It reminds me a bit of 'every sperm is sacred' by Monthy Python. Back then it was controversial too.

*joines the general dancing*

p.s. *advises everyone strongly against watching this clip in a uni library as you might find yourself being scoffed at for laughing out loud*

knootoss, thanks for making this truly boring day a bit less so :D

Het is momenteel bijzonder druk op onze servers, waardoor deze niet optimaal bereikbaar zijn. Excuses voor het ongemak; we zouden het zeer op prijs stellen wanneer u op een later tijdstip nogmaals de moeite neemt om langs te komen!

thats what i get :(

Yeah. Got it too five minutes after I posted it. It would appear that this NS thread is generating a LOT of traffic because there were no problems before.

Exploding people ...wow what a concept .

Were you possibly thinking about how a muslim would feel hearing this clip?

Were you possibly thinking about how a muslim would feel hearing this clip?

No. Not really. It would depend on whether the muslim has a sense of humour I suppose.

This is not racist! This makes fun of racism! Just listen to the dutch guy complaining about the muslims smoking weed! :D

I dunno... I suppose if you set it to the right tune ...

well, i just sent this to a muslim friend of mine, expecting a very amused reaction.

in case this was lost on you, that clip is not against muslims, but a sarcastic/ironic portrait of anti-muslim sentiments in an ironic way. it pokes fun at the dutch, for god's sake, not at the muslims!

Word. You got it. The Dutch were also ridicilously stereotyped in it. ;)

Site incredibly slow for me, video buffering never complete. Feh.

oh, so that was a *stereotype*?! man, i always thought that's how you all spend your days..damnit..i find it way too hard to adjust my view on he ordinary dutch at 10:30 p.m. though, so..bad luck. i will ahve to keep imagining you as a singing, marching vogelscheuche wearing an orange uniform. [unless you provide pictures showing me otherwise, that is :P]

A pleasant image. If only it were true. ;)

No. Not really. It would depend on whether the muslim has a sense of humour I suppose.

As a Muslim, It has been my experience that Muslims have a sense of humor about everything except Islam. I've been chided a time or two at the Mosque for making the odd comment or two here and there in my own particular witty idiom.

I've done my best to try to make the Arab Muslims lighten up (the Black, White, and Asian Muslims are often in very good humor), but you know the age old Arab joke:

Arab 1: Knock Knock
Arab 2: Who's there?
Arab 3: No, it is you who are wrong!

Heh. I think I heard that one somewhere before. It be truth.

bump

Heh, reminds me of that Sacha Baron-Cohen song 'Throw the Jew down the well...'

Oh geez, it's like a Knotoss-interest chat forum, well hello then.

sir knootoss, i spent half on hour perusing the site as well as google to get the (dutch) lyrics but no luck..could you..maybe...? *dackelblick*

I guess I can put them up myself but why would you want Dutch lyrics?

*waves to Biotopia*

*tries to sing along*

We worden bedreigd door de moslims, ja wij zijn bang voor de islam.
We worden bedreigd door de moslims, een pastoor heet een imam.

De mannen drage witte jurken - dat is daar heel gewoon.
De jongens zwarte leren jasjes en een mobiele telefoon.
De vrouw heet een moslima - lijkt een beetje op een non.
Ze wonen in hele kleine flatjes met een schotel op balkon.

Ze doen aan hongerstaking en dat heet dan Ramadan
en ze hebben weinig hobbies en een vrouw is minder dan een man.

We worden bedreigd door de moslims, ja wij zijn bang voor de Islam.
We worden bedreigd door de moslims, en ze slachten soms een lam.

Ze halen hele lage cijfers en werken doen ze niet.
Ze drinken hele sterke koffie en roken hasj of weed.
Ze hebben maar 3 namen: Achmed, Ali, Mohamed.
Hun vrouwen zien we bijna nooit - die zitten binnen in hun flat .

Ze hebben ook een eigen taaltje niet gespeend van hysterie,
het klinkt voor ons nogal boosaardig en zonder een greintje ironie.

We worden bedreigd door de moslims, ja wij zijn bang voor de Islam.
We worden bedreigd door de moslims, ze houden niet van spek en ham.

Tot zover niets bedreigends, nog geen vuiltje aan de lucht.
Waar zijn we dan zo bang voor - waarom zijn ze zo berucht ?
Niet omdat ze slecht zijn wild of onbeschoft,
maar soms zit er eentje tussen die opeens spontaan ontploft.

Maar nooit als ze alleen zijn, altijd op de markt en in de trein.
En dat maakt ze zo gevaarlijk, daarom nog één keer dit refrein.

We worden bedreigd door de moslims, ja wij zijn bang voor de Islam.
We worden bedreigd door de moslims, want ze doen vaak van klabam,
want ze doen vaak van klaBOEM

Thanks 'The Squeaky Rat'!

Very amusing.

That sentiment is shared by so many British people, and that's what makes it such a clever piece of satire. It is relevant to everybody. Dutch, British, Americans... everybody is terrified of this terrifying group of people who want to kill us all. Apparently.


I only wish there was a way to make it play correctly. Could somebody help? It would never buffer properly. I tried to download the thing using Getright, but as yet I have been unable to. I'd like to see the full thing uninterrupted, so I'd be grateful for any assistance. [I don't read Dutch, so the Help button wasn't useful]

tender kisses to the unknown dutch :)
