i heard many ppl talking abt it so i read the lyrics and there were verses from the quran within the lyrics !! i mean its not only offensive and racist but it also stepped out of line to include quranic verse in the lyrics itself and singin it !
the lyrics included the first verse of sorat alfatiha and albasmalah
the case here is not abt arabs .. i mean i don’t care abt that but how could he use verses from the quran for song production ?!
raw: there r three versions of this song
this one is the remix version with basmallah and verse from sorat alfatiha

dear i am an arab .. and to be honest i don’t care whether he offended arabs or not .. wut made me mad really is the quranic verse that was included in the remix
i know … but still if he or they were muslims they wouldn’t have included the verses in the first place .. right ?!
@ crusader: i am not close minded at all dear .. wut made me mad abt this song is that they used quranic verses in a song .. which is according to Islam it is haram (forbiden) .. as one of the users said that they apologized as they didn’t know wut they did was wrong !
BTW: akon is not a muslim
closed*
oh and one more thing .. crusader .. take a good look at ur profile and tell me who’s the closed minded here .. and take a look at my answer to u and then tell me again who is the closed minded .. i have many christian friends .. but u dear .. u give a bad image for christians
@crusader: ..right right right .. islam is a sin and muslims r sinners u don’t hate muslims but u do wanna kill them … ok ok look dear u might wanna go get some help cuz u really need it .. u go ahead and hate me .. TRY to hurt my feelings .. i didn’t get offended by ur answer really and if u were trying to offend me .. then u might wanna try harder.
believe me .. ur answer is a joke
.crusader:. ok let me explain this to u … using quranic verses in a song is forbidden according to islam ..this is why i got angry .. cuz those muslims who sang this song don’t even know that its forbiden .. after knowing that they apologized for it
nothing here in my question proves that i’m a closed minded person
dear crusader .. i don’t need a definition ,, ur a perfect example
thanx for answering and editing ur answer like 3 times ..deleting “i will keep criticizing islam” that is so nice of u XD
► I might be wrong but I listened to it and did not hear any verses from the Qur’aan. It might be because it is a different version.
► Apparently Busta Rhymes and T-Pain call themselves Muslims and do not know right from wrong.

Thanks for the links. But when I listened to them, it seemed like they censored the ayaat with some gibberish.
I never heard the song “Arab Money”.
►►I dont think Artists should include the Quran in there work, since it includes all the Instruments, etc.
The only thing that annoys me about the song is that at the end of the song, he mentions Iran as if it’s an arab country
someone posts this about once a month. being arab or being muslim is like being the new black. everyones fine with black now. its us who are the enemy.. like that idiot with the song ‘rubber band man , wild like the taliban’ a couple years ago.. its like the new ‘bad guy’ to cheer on and youre gangsta if youre a muslim. i saw a group on myspace like 2-3 years ago called something along the lines of “an muzlims bang bang da jihad ..” these stupid @$$holes have no idea what theyre talking about, also a song by “freeway” talking about, “Muhammd(saws) walked with a sword, i roll with a gat..” are you serious??? like some gun toting hoodlum has something at all to do with islam or Muhammad (saws). it makes me sick to my stomach.
I heard two versions of the song, and i really think that Busta Ryhmes didn’t mean anything by it, he apologized to everyone that was offended and changed the lyrics to the song, i think the song actually sounds cool, but it was definitely wrong to put quranic verses in the song. He says hes muslim, and he didnt know what he did was wrong! The song is really not offensive at all!
Busta Rhymes is Broke.
The song has been suspended from Air.
YouTube is in work of removing all the “Arab Money” song off of YouTube.
Busta Rhymes has apologized for making the song in the first place.
All the Muslims involved in the Arab Money remix apologized.
Yeah, and do you know what’s more interesting? Many of the singers who joined in the remix were Muslims (T-pain, Busta Rhymes, Akon, etc.). How come they didn’t take it offensive but you, as closed minded and ridiculous, as you sound, took it as an offense???
Edit: Let me put it this way – Islam is a sin, Muslims are sinners. I hate Islam because it is a sin, I do not hate Muslims because they’re sinners and I am no different. So just because I hate an ideology which I think is not ‘healthy’ for humanity does not make me a person who hates those people who follow that ideology. So there is nothing that shows anything ‘closed-minded’ statement in my profile, and I do not get offended when a song is made up from the Bible or Christianity.
Edit: Questioner: Whatever my friend, but let me recommend you to look up for a definition of being ‘closed minded’.
Hello: Play it on another victim…pasting a virus site to harm my system is getting old now!
well never heard of that song but hey crusader this is for u …..i dont wanna offend anybody but i just wanna tell u the truth…….
