MODERATE MUSLIMS ARE SINGING THEIR SONG. "Yeh Hum Naheen": "We are not that"

The lyrics say it all: “This story that is being spread in our names is a lie. … The name by which you know us we are not.”

Taking a page right out of the hugely successful all-star relief song “We are the World,” the song is performed by top young singers in Pakistan.

...The reaction has been huge. The song shot to No. 1 in Pakistan. And thanks to the Web, it's gone global. There have been 65,000 downloads thus far.

And to hear them, they have only just begun their mission. The next priority is an Arabic version of the song. Then an English version. Then a “Live Aid”-style concert. And a few other interesting projects they don’t want to talk about yet.
