    • Well, if they're not singing about women's liberties, these folks sure are.
      "Shaking The Tree", live with Peter Gabriel, Paula Cole and Company.

    • Very nice music.

      What do you suppose the odds are that they're singing about the liberation and advancement of women's rights?

      "While most of the world is celebrating women's achievements and contributions to society, many theologians in the Muslim world are hiding behind their distorted interpretation of the Koran and Shariaâ, which reduces women to objects than men can use -through marriage- to satisfy their selfish needs. According to recent statistics, of 100 seven year old girls, 51 will enroll in school, and only 7 of these lucky 51 will finish high school. The rest will end up as maids working 16 to 20 hours a day in very abusive homes, or in sweatshops similar to Nazi concentration camps. We should recognize that there are many inequalities and barriers that are preventing Moroccan women from enjoying their basic human rights and assure their participation in the development of our beloved Morocco."
