A song made by some of the biggest names in Pakistani pop music. The song starts off with the words:
‘Terrorism is murder. Murder is haram. Countless innocents are being murdered by terrorists claiming to fight in the name of Islam.’
Hence, the title ‘Yeh Hum Naheen’ literally translated as ‘This is not us’. The message is for the rest of the world that we are not terrorists. However, it sounds like we’re reassuring ourselves that we are not terrorists. After all, the terrorists are coming out from amongst us. Most of us may not agree with what they’re doing and state that its contrary to Islam (which I believe it is), but they firmly believe that they’re laying down their lives for Islam. What about the Maulvi who shot Punjab Social Welfare Minister Zile Human Usman because he felt it was unIslamic for a woman to hold a government position?
A good song nevertheless.
Before I saw Ali Haider front on I thought there was another female in this video along with Hadiqa Kiyani. What’s up with this guy? I guess he’s done well to be in this business for 20 years without ageing. But, its time…he should go.
6 men … 1 women .. 1 almost-woman …. Yeh Bhee Hum Naheeen !!
What???
What an ignorant view of the world this is :)!
Although I would not doubt the intentions of the artists in the video (the same doesn’t go for their exhibition of their collective I.Q.), but them and this video honestly being the real representatives of the Pakistan is really a question.
We as Muslims and Pakistanis have suffered much more than any other community in the world due to aspirations of Empires external and internal.
The thing I dislike in particular is the `Burden Of Proof` being thrown onto us and we being the guilty till proven innocent.
Pakistani citizens (not to mention Muslims) have been found or accused of terrorist operations in and outside Pakistan. Which is true in some cases but if one is a bit more informed, one would hear the voices of intellectuals and organizations globally speaking on many occasions and cases to be `false flag` or `covert` or `insider` operations for long term Empire goals. To present the world with a boogie man is necessary to control through fear in the name of security. Only one name if need be mentioned of an activist presenting the facts right is `Noam Chomsky`.
To my `esteemed and enlightened` colleagues, countrymen at the risk of appearing a fanatic and anti-Semitic I would like to state…
“Terrorism being defined as the killing of innocent civilians of which many countries including USA and Israel may be the champions of in the modern world is not our creation or monopoly”
No 2 wrongs make a right and I certainly detest the perpetrators of any kind of crimes against humans in any form. But I still do not agree with the theme of this song. No fitting words describe it more than weak, sad, pathetic and apologetic beyond reason.
Aimed at west (literally begging for mercy )… instead would have been better if they would have sung it in English but I guess that’s not a problem.
They claim to be the voice of silent majority as on the site,… what ??? Have you not heard any Muslim individual, organization, scholars and leaders disassociating from terrorists and terrorism of any kind anywhere? What are you talking about.. (As a friend of mine would say… ay hello!).
The well oiled media of the west should have known and should have represented us better. The problem further gets complicated due to self censorship exercised by the mainstream western media which clearly amalgamates different issues, hides facts and intentionally misrepresent not only Muslims but Islam as an ideology.
Formation of extremist Muslim jihadist or other violent organizations by USA to serve their own purposes in Afghanistan is what we are paying the price of… or are we…?
Anyway… only positive thing this kind of song done is start a debate which is a good thing.. if it really has… but yaar its so lame and pathetic.. could have done better…
Yeh hum naheen (This isn’t us)… The singers of this song… sorry…
I refuse to beg when I am not wrong!
