    He has spoken the repressed truth of COUNTLESS people; it isn't religion, it's the problems of the world around us that make many people twist religions into the horrid ideologies that are often promoted as God's word. My respect for you increases everyday, be it as a fellow someone who takes pride in his Pakistani roots or as a human being.

    Why was it deleted from Fallon's channel? That's where I saw it first and it had tons of views, but it's gone now. I'm glad I could still find it here though. Just hope nothings shady behind that.

      @Offshore Barge To be fair, I don't think Fallon developed brains, he probably had nothing to do with its deleting. My guess is this is some copyright stuff, but who knows?
      As to the lyrics, free speech allows everybody to speak their mind, not just those you agree with. I still think this gives an interesting insight. My opinion on what he's saying here is not really relevant but I'd rather listen (or just not) to "offensive" lies than have the right to speak freely taken.
      What's the Bill Maher thing you mentioned, I haven't seen it. Could you link it or give the title?
