i don't like the term "islamophobia". the issue here is racism; conflating race with religion is......racist. just because somebody has brown skin doesn't mean that they're dumb enough to believe somebody flew into heaven on a chariot. and, honestly? i don't really have any problem with the idea of using the state to promote secularism at the expense of religiosity. it's when these policies attack secular people that happen to not be white that i tend to get upset.
so, let's be clear, here. the problem is not attacking islam. islam is every bit as horrific as christianity, even worse in some ways. it wouldn't be fair for me to be more lenient toward islam than i am towards christianity. that would itself be sort of racist.
the problem here is racism, as it is directed towards people that come from cultures where islam is statistically dominant - and that racism includes the assumption that ethnicity implies religiosity.

demo #15: permission
see, i was never very rebellious. no, honestly, i wasn't. i just sort of didn't care. it was really never a question of rebelling against authority because the mere idea of authority was clearly preposterous. so, it was sort of more like i found myself laughing at the idea that other people thought they had some kind of "authority" over me....even as i found myself in logical agreement with those supposed "authorities" 95 times out of 100.....
i probably would have rebelled a little harder if my upbringing was more strict. it wasn't, though. authority was just something that never really existed, except as a rough set of largely rational suggestions.
you know those charlie brown episodes where adults are all squeaky and weird sounding? that's what i was thinking. although, again, the downward spiral appears as an embarrassingly strong influence. it's sort of ironic to write a song like this based on lines from some other person's songs. thankfully, we don't need to rely on the ingenuity of teenagers to keep the world spinning.
the backing vocals are my little sister. she was pretty little at the time, too. 12, even. also ironic: i told her what to do and what to say. i at least got *that* irony at the time, though.
i still like the bridge section, though.
