Mirza is sexist and uses his religion as a shield

Definitions- Mirza- A member of the website debate. org . http://www.debate.org... Sexist- Portraying one sex better than another, favoring one sex having more freedom than another, basing a persons worth or abilty on their gender rather than on their skill, or assigning gender roles according to sexes . http://www.google.com... Religion- A belief system usually consisting of one or more god, and/or an afterlife, with given rules on how one should live their life, in this case Islam. . http://www.merriam-webster.com... Shield- Something that absorbs attacks (or blame), so that the person yeilding the shield will not be harmed . http://www.google.com... In this case, Mirza, attributes gender roles to each sex. He also believes that women shouldd care for children and not work outside of the house because they are weaker and less capable, but more able to emotionally care for children. He believes that men should work because they are more physically capable. When asserting such claims he forgets that not all women are emotional, or physically weak, and not all men are physically strong, or emotionally depraved. He also forgets that not all work is physical, and not all of caring for children is emotional. You have to be physically strong, with high stamina in order to care for children properly, especially if you have multiple children. He is using his religion as a shield in the sense that he quotes his holy book[s] to address why he feels a certain way about issues such as gender roles. By saying "It is my religion to think this way. " he is deflecting any attack of sexism from himself and on his religion instead. Mirza, and Islam are both sexist.

"Spark my Soul' Is one of my favourite tracks of last summer! GREAT START! =D Here's Mine: http://www.youtube.com... My head aches, and feels the blunt vice grips/ hanging over my tequila sunrises/ Confide and write this to de-scribe a love life / that's feeling love lifeless/ I'm the type that'll cherish frozen winters/ stare at snowy blizzards and take it to heart/ Then break it apart, I carry hopes and blisters/ Cutting heart strings with a pair of broken scissors/ I'm still trapped in a middle school slow dance/ Stepping on toes in a mistletoe romance/ Misanthrope, discomposed who holds hands/ with grief...Kissing hope with no chance, but me/ I'm just searching for some beautiful/ a dream that I can catch And a person who's unusual/ When I find her, I'll try to face the tide/ Fight the hurricane, and tidal wave, goodbye… And I watch all the spectrums of angels/ Choking to death on the septums and halos/ Bread crumbs and fables, why change?/ I hang at the ends of the pay phone/ With no change or number to reach/ What blankets the sky I slumber beneath/ Under the speech, this song's about hope, joy, love and defeat/ All it takes is a peaceful autumn day/ For you to be happy and me to call it fate/ Even after a fucked up childhood, I'm still tryin'/ To believe in God and grace/ I try to get a piece of peace and sit and listen infinitely/ Holdin onto benefits, and isnt it so innocent? We/ Try to find another time and underline the cynical/ Its pitiful we run and hide and undermind the innermost/ When intervals of miserable will find a figure four/ And force the phyiscal and inner soul to find a bitter form/ And form another time and place where you can go and be so suitable/ When all I wanna do is go and search for something beautiful, in me/ I died once, and I knew that it was suitable/ I died twice, and I sang it like a musical/ I died again when I thought that the noose would hold/ Everything I love in the search for some beautiful/ I died once, and I knew that it was suitable/ I died twice, and I sang it like a musical/ I died again when I thought that the noose would hold/ Everything I love in the search for some beautiful/

Vote for the person you believe had the better song each round.Starting it off with a recent fav of mine, Inverse Ft. Substantial- Spark My Soul(lyrics can't be found online, i transcribed them myself, so might have some minor errors)Walking through the April showersthrough the broken glass and the changing flowers.It seems like the rain is poundingharder on those who have no way to get out of it.When every face in the crowd has verbals that chase that been weighing them down.trying to find their place and how to stay sane when that place just aint been allowed. The uncertainty, anger and doubt of the violence that makes it unsafe in that town.some deal with the pain that devours most but dont mistake that straight for power.The only thing that stays the same is change but we too afraid to break from now.Our parents had their day but now its our kidsthat we need to be making proud.My soul...Let the music be the fuse that'll spark my soulMy soul soul my soul my soulhttp://www.youtube.com...

I only wish we had a few more rounds. A classic Jedi Mind Tricks track... I was thinking of bringing up my own JMT track ('Razorblade Salvation') but I have to end it with a fellow Canadian. I had a blasty spewing tracks back & forth with you =D http://www.youtube.com... Well there's no ‘I' in ‘team', but there's an ‘I' in ‘win' And every guy wanna win so folks is eyeing him The ‘I' in ‘pride' They say pride puts the ‘I' in ‘sin' – puts self in the centre I and I come in 'cause I am imperfect, none of us is iron men Please be my third eye when the light gets dim Even my story's not mine, where do I begin Not with ‘I', I'm reminded see the ‘I' in Him In my enemy especially Him and I are twins Gotta love him as I love I Him and I are kin Take the thing outta my own eye Then see if the word is where the world begin Then at the end of the word ‘friend' is where I end And all men become I, and I them So who am I then? Just dust in the wind With a pen and a grin I'm goin' in (you goin' in?) I'm goin' in like, yes Chorus: We all in agreement/ If you hear the song and you feel it/ put your palms to the ceiling like yes/ yes, everybody/ yes x 2 What can I say for myself? Where I'm at ain't where I stationed myself So I'm grateful I do okay for myself I wanna do better for y'all I'm afraid of myself God said, ‘You trust me, now have some faith in yourself' When I made my first record I would say to myself I'm glad to share this I don't wanna just play for myself The thing with rappin is It helps me get away from myself Go put these thoughts and feelings out So they don't stay on the shelf Stay in my soul 'cause I find the more I stay to myself The less I find the real me The more I stray from myself And can't relate to no one else I don't have to make a way for myself Just make my thoughts point away from myself And what else (Chorus) We are Greater than the sum of us All greater than the some of us Greater than each piece or part We are a body, an army Greater than any single art piece (peace) And love in our hearts And we are who we are behind doors in secret In our deep depths and recesses We aren't free yet We are how we treat our sick folks and widows The rich with broken hearts The broke and the crippled And the soul that's weak We are not what we eat But what comes out of our mouths when we speak Most of y'all don't speak truth Can't play me, playboy I'm no kid- I don't play Wii We are parents Cherished Proud and embarrased We've come a long way, but we're still not there yet And we don't always get along Me, myself and I When we do, we in tune like the song Singing, yes… (Chorus)

One of my favourite atmosphere tracks- Gunna have to step my game up! Here's a track from the late Eyedea. A fellow from the same rhymesayers crew. May he rest in Beats. http://www.youtube.com... [Verse 1] A prince can practice moans for the attention that he wants/ But most this town won't even dignify his ignorance with a response/ Left to a crowded foster home by a fifteen year old mom/ Never been held in any one's arms/ When you've never been moved, it's really hard to move on/ A young saleswoman sets up shop on the sunset/ She'll make your wildest dreams come true at a price you won't forget/ But sadly Mary'd setup alibis, no harm no regret/ Hoping they'd meet an angel in bed that could wrestle the devil right out of their heads/ The city burns fast, no one has time to sit with themselves/ Time to look into our pain or see the same despair in everyone else/ It's here, it's there, it's everywhere – tears soak each card the dealer's dealt/ Time taught me how to see every second as heaven even though they're perfectly disguised as hell/ And I refuse to let past bruises cover the light/ It ain't all good, but it's all good enough, so I know I'm alright/ Agony is truth, it's our connection to the living/ And I accept it as perfection and keep on existing in the …/ [Chorus] Now/ I can only build if I tear the walls down/ Even if it breaks me I won't let it make me frown/ I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground/ I'll still smile/ I can only build if I tear the walls down/ Even if it breaks me I won't let it make me frown/ I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground/ I'll still smile/ [Verse 2] Ear to ear as if that's all I'm here for/ Despite the wars founded by the rich funded by the poor/ Kids barely eighteen are dying so billionaires can make more/ Elsewhere hungry mothers watch their babies starve to death in a beat up shack on a dirt floor/ The aged professor quotes freedoms without a path/ Now he dresses like a widow and preaches love is dead in every class/ Curiosity killed the cat and taught the dog and them how to act/ It burned it's bridge to Jill so he tries to drown the guilt with a bottle of Jack/ Self-proclaimed rebels say we must oppose the system/ You gotta take a stand – if you're not against them, you're with them/ Signs read support the troops, bring ‘em home, no more innocent victims/ But when a homeless veteran asks for spare change, you're too busy protesting to even listen/ And I'm no different I live in conflict and contradiction/ It can be so beautiful when I don't reject what lies within/ It's beautiful the way agony connects us to the living/ I think of the world when I hurt and keep on existing in the … [Chorus] Now/ I can only build if I tear the walls down/ Even if it breaks me I won't let it make me frown/ I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground/ I'll still smile/ I can only build if I tear the walls down/ Even if it breaks me I won't let it make me frown/ I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground/ I'll still smile/
