I know everyone on this board could care less about Conpunk--I'm not exactly a huge fan of them either, but this always stood out for me when they said it:
Quote:
Punk rock has promoted fighting against oppressors. We were critical of the hippies' idea of sitting around bitching about the problem and not doing shit about fixing it – just blame the government. It was Malcolm X who said he despised peaceful activists. His motto was 'by any means necessary.' If he were alive today, I'd want him to be my president, even more than G.W. Malcolm knew Islam – he studied it for most of his life – and followed its teachings. He was murdered by Muslims because he was beginning to expose their 'beautiful lie.' I'd think he would just state that either Muslims take responsibility for what is being done in the name of Islam or he'd promise to drop a M O A B on Mecca.
