Jihad du Jour

Yvonne Glasgow Feco makes some interesting experimental music. This song is pretty cool if you keep the volume turned down some, it can get a bit loud and ear piercing. I dug the beginning of this song, but it took me a minute to get used to the singing. It kind of has a goth meets EDM sound to it, in some ways.

about

With the Paris and Brussels terrorist attacks last year, and the stateside ones as well, I started thinking about how to investigate and interrogate the psychic vulnerabilities of a would be jihadist recruit. As a response, I wrote and recorded this song. Now that terrorist attacks seem to be on the rise worldwide, an artistic response to international jihadism is even more relevant. Plus, with the rabid anti-Muslim rhetoric of Trump and some of his selectees, I can only imagine that the extremist recruitment fires are being well-stoked. Maybe this work can play a small part in dissuading someone from going down that road. Who knows? I can only do what I can do.

lyrics

With that multiple stab wound quality the morning light arrives
The vigilantes of religion ride out to kill
for their heaven of no compromise
and when the sinful world refuses to bow, it should come as no surprise
today's the day they know for sure, there's just one way to make it pure
go on, pick up your gun, they're calling you to your
jihad du jour

Will... it... be... paradise or hell? There's no way that you can tell
What is written on your mind
is it the will of God or the devil's design?
It's a question that doesn't bother you at all.
How can you know which way to go
when the line's obliterated
and your dream's been confiscated, and your soul's been infiltrated
when each thought is not your own?
They got a judge and jury keeping vigilant watch
assigned inside your mind
like a stranger in a strangled time
like an ant in a bottle you cannot climb
when the voice of the prophet gives you the call
and there's no place further you can fall
is today the day you strap on the bomb for your
jihad du jour?

Now tell me, what do you think you'll feel
when you pray before you kill?

will you join their fantasy of desolation
learn to kill and rape without hesitation
teach your children to murder the infidel
do you really want to enter that deepest hell?

and those 72 virgins waiting when you fall
I hope they turn on you if they exist at all
with teeth like knives and take their revenge
for every girl your rapist creed condemned

Now tell me, what do you feel
when you pray before you kill?

now stare into the vacuum of your future
take your place in the martyr's masquerade
as the prophet's methodology leads you
to this final cross you've made
to hang yourself upon
while the sun like a guillotined head
rolls on
