    “The lyrics, penned by Joe Strummer, were inspired by a news report of Iranians being flogged for the crime of owning a disco album and create an amusing fantasy where a disco-hating sharif is defied by everyone from the citizens to his own air force as he tries to stamp out “that crazy Casbah sound.”

    I agree with this moderate position wholeheartedly and sincerely, but some, especially where religion is involved, take HUGE offence. I see this in the Judaism, Christianity and Islam. You can debate a man’s taste in music, his political beliefs but not his religion (RD). I would like to get an English transcript and see whether Rachid used the same / similar lyrics in the verses?
