otep

A band that plays metal (sort of like Slipknot, but not really), creepy music and there's (ugh) some rap mixed in it. Fronted by a woman, many of their songs are about creativity. Their debut album, "Sevas Tra", is "Art Saves" backwards. Otep is: 1. An anagram for poet 2. Destroyer/Creator in the Alchemists Book "Mutus Liber" - key to the chemical wedding between the worlds of the seen & unseen 3. A Keltic Warrior from the Em Se, voice of psychotropic revelry 4. Egyptian (I think maybe it's ancient Egyptian)for "Creative Offerings"

Songs: My Confession, Battle Ready, Jonestown Tea

jihad

Jihad literally means "to struggle." In the military sense it is meant in the context, "to struggle against oppression." Jihad is therefore an act to liberate people from the oppression of tyrants. Jihad is not illegal acts of terror against innocent people. When tabloid journalism and fanatic regimes mistakenly inform the masses that Jihad is "to commit illegal acts of terror," they are revealing their ignorance, the lack of their research, and the extent of their unprofessional & deceitful approach to the subject.

Many Muslums believe that there is a Jihad against the United States, Globalization, etc.
