While the album’s cover could stir up controversy \u2014 it depicts Ali kneeling in prayer on the American flag \u2014 Ali says he intends no disrespect.<\/p>\n
“It was meant to be a literal depiction of the album title,” he says. “That the things that we believe about our country \u2014 freedom, justice, equality, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, all people being equal \u2014 that these things are on the ground, these things are suffering, and so I am kneeling and praying for it. The meaning behind kneeling in this reverent way and praying is only a problem if [people] have believed this lie that somehow being a Muslim and being an American are mutually exclusive.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
But, it’s perfectly alright to kill people who draw cartoons of Mohammed and kill people who have nothing to do with a poorly made video and kill people for burning a defaced Koran. But, defacing one of our symbols is just dandy, cuz he’s just making a point about something or other.<\/p>\n
No, I’m not trying to start a riot (since I see a lot of traffic from DoD and DoJ here), I’m just saying…where are the Muslims who should be condemning this peckerwood for doing to our stuff what they won’t allow anyone to do to their stuff?<\/p>\n
