Have you actually read the Old Testament? Just curious. Much of it is devoted to the conquest of Canaan. The character YHWH (aka God) commands the wholesale slaughter of the indigenous inhabitants of Canaan in no uncertain terms. This injunction is repeated over and over and over again, and carried out to a tee. Failure to comply to this commandment is punishable by death. Read it if you don't believe me. Today, in the 2012 th year of our Lord, we have a term for this. That term is genocide. [ Reply ]

calypsus_1 Mar 14, 2010 - 17:00	Bob Marley - "War" Live " "War" is a song recorded and made popular by Bob Marley . It first appeared on Bob Marley and the Wailers' 1976 Island Records album, Rastaman Vibration , Marley's only album to chart in the USA, at #10. The lyrics are almost literally derived from a speech made by Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I before the United Nations General Assembly in 1963. The song is credited to Alan Cole and late Wailers percussionist Carlton "Carly" Barrett as song writers, and not to Bob Marley. However, based on two simple guitar chords, the semi-improvised, spirited melody put to Selassie's words is unmistakably Marley's. Barrett's brother and collaborator, Wailer musician Aston "Family Man" Barrett (who created the bass line, key to the song's efficiency) has since brought law suits against the Marley estate for unpaid royalties and credit for songs such as 'War' that were either written by others and not by Bob Marley, or in collaboration with Marley. " Wikipedia "What life has taught me I would like to share with Those who want to learn... Until the philosophy which hold one race Superior and another inferior Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned Everywhere is war, me say war That until there are no longer first class And second class citizens of any nation Until the colour of a man's skin Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes Me say war That until the basic human rights are equally Guaranteed to all, without regard to race Dis a war That until that day The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship Rule of international morality Will remain in but a fleeting illusion To be persued, but never attained Now everywhere is war, war And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique, South Africa sub-human bondage Have been toppled, utterly destroyed Well, everywhere is war, me say war War in the east, war in the west War up north, war down south War, war, rumours of war And until that day, the African continent Will not know peace, we Africans will fight We find it necessary and we know we shall win As we are confident in the victory Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil " 10 [ Reply ]

MayBaby Dec 20, 2008 - 18:39	Great post, Andre! Luv me some Marley. The music and the message. andrewimft wrote: Clearly you know nothing about Marley, his career, beliefs or philosophy. The lyrics are very much intended as an anti-war song, "derived from a speech made by Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I before the United Nations General Assembly in 1963... Haile Selassie 1 gave the speech calling for world peace at the 1963 U.N. Conference in New York City. The song uses part of Selassie's speech that calls for equality among all without regard to race, class, or nationality in his hymnal cry for peace... It also asserts, quoting Selassie directly, that until the day of an equal society, there will be war... In the original speech, Selassie urged U.N. officials and country representatives, to disarm their nuclear weapons and to end international exploitation (specifically with Africa). The song honors Haile Selassie I while calling for action against racial inequality and international injustice. " The song quotes much of Selassie's speech (most of the info I'm referencing is at the link here , you can read the rest of his speech that is in the song there). Regarding this part of the speech, " We Africans will fight, if necessary, and we know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil... Selassie reminded his listeners that these are only words; their value depends wholly on our will to observe and honour them and give them content and meaning." That's an anti war song citing prophecy about wars and rumors of war, and Selassie's anti war speech. Junior Marvin, former Wailers guitarist in an interview at reggae-vibes.com, also verifies the song's anti war meaning. He says this about the meaning of the song War: "Like 'War,' America's at war," points out Marvin. Marley borrowed the lyrics to 'War' from a speech Haile Selassie I (aka Ras Tafari) gave to the United Nations. " I think the time has come for a big peace movement, which is what Bob started then, 'movement of Jah people,' the One Love Peace Concert in Jamaica," says Marvin. "9/11 was a wake up call for everyone on the planet and now we've gotta learn from that." "Cultures should work together and share knowledge," says Marvin, "rather than 'tearing each other's throats out.'" "In the long run, it's gonna be beneficial to everyone to just chill out," he adds. That's just the tip of the overwhelming evidence about Marley and his career, beliefs and message that have nothing to do with your bizarre interpretation. Bob Marley's entire career was opposed to the very ideas you spout about using religion to justify war, the record is long and available to examine. Your post is inaccurate and full of some weird right wing Christianist pro war agenda. You're free to make that interpretation of the song for your own personal meaning, but don't go around ascribing it to Marley. Your kind of agenda laden ignorance and dishonest, aggressive revisionist history just leaves me without words to describe how bizarre and annoying it is. [ Reply ]

NoEnzLefttoSplit Nov 19, 2008 - 04:17	My sister was on a bus in Eritrea and enjoying all the men in the bus singing what sounded to her like a joyful, happy kind of song. She asked the guy next to her what they were singing: we are lions off to decapitate our enemies and root out their families Kind of killed the mood she said. [ Reply ]
