Open Season
Music: Ward
Lyrics: Aborn, Nelson
String Arrangement: Eric Frampton

I speak peace when peace is spoken, But I speak war when your hate is provoking, The season is open 24-7-365, Man up yo time to ride, No need to hide behind slogans of deceit, Claiming that you're a religion of peace, We just don't believe you, We can clearly see through, The madness that you're feeding your people, Jihad the cry of your unholy war, Using the willing, the weak and poor, From birth drowning in propaganda, rhetoric and slander, All we can say is damn ya

My forefathers fought and died for this here
I'm stronger than your war of fear
Are we clear?
If you step in my hood
It's understood
It's open season

I don't need a faith that's blind, ...

Open Season- anti jihad music video
Uncle Jimbo

One thing I have wondered is why America has such a negative reputation overseas, yet we have the most gargantuan entertainment complex imaginable, If they wanted to make us look positive they could, but they view us as flawed and therefore project that image into our entertainment. Lately the jihadis have gotten into the i Life and started putting out some kick ass beheading and martyrdom videos. Sad as it sounds that qualifies as pop culture in too much of the Muslim world. Every once in a while you catch a little push back and Rich Ward of Stuck Mojo has got some for the Islamists

Call me an alarmist, but this is not about Iraq or the so called "War On Terrorism", this is about a worldwide movement that is compelled by spiritual teachings to convert us or kill us. It's not about Israel or America, if it was then why is this virus present in Algeria, Sudan, Somalia, Indonesia, the former Soviet Union, the Philippines, India, France, Spain and 1.5 million dead in Darfur. But I thought this whole thing was about Israel and America. Then why are Buddhist and Hindu temples set on fire and the followers of these peaceful religions attacked?.....

This video is NOT attacking Islam. This video is NOT lumping all followers of Islam in with the terrorists. No one in the Stuck Mojo organization is a racist or a bigot, but I refuse to ignore these events so as to keep from offending anyone.

If you don't like what I have to say, don't buy my album.

Respectfully, Rich Ward

His whole explanation was well thought out and delivered.  ...

Audio: John Gibson interviews Stuck Mojo guitarist Rich Ward
Allahpundit

Is Gibby reading the blogs? Yesterday he picked up on the Bonaduce-Truther showdown, today he’s gabbing with the man responsible for “Open Season”. Their video’s creeping up on 35,000 views at YouTube as I write this due in no small part to the blogswarm — a fact Ward himself not only acknowledges but seems genuinely grateful for.

What’s it like being the one of the few right-wing musicians in America who doesn’t specialize in country/western? You’re about to find out.

FYI, the songs from their new album are all available in mp3 format here. I recommend “For the Cause of Allah,” featuring audio of Walid Shoebat. ...
