Coercion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Lyrics: Kenneth Nyman]
Breaking of the silent dawn
Through a field red from blood
With pride, we march among the dead
Maimed bodies lie buried in mud
Driven by the smell of death
Covered with blood of our enemies
We will march till the very end
Keeping heads as trophies
March!
Until death claims our souls
March!
Until death claims our souls
Charge!
The lyrics to Coercion's song March speak to a sense of pride and determination among soldiers who are marching through a field that has been stained red with blood. The opening line, "Breaking of the silent dawn," suggests that this is a momentous occasion, and the use of the word "breaking" implies that there is something significant that is being disturbed or interrupted. As the soldiers march, they encounter the gruesome aftermath of battle, with "maimed bodies" lying "buried in mud." However, rather than being deterred by this sight, the soldiers are driven by the "smell of death" and are covered "with blood of our enemies." They continue to march, determined to keep going "till the very end" and to claim "heads as trophies."
The repetition of the word "March" throughout the song emphasizes the importance of this action and suggests that it is both a physical and a mental task. By marching, the soldiers are not just moving their bodies forward, but also their minds and spirits. The final line, "Charge!" is a call to action and suggests that there is still more to come. This can be seen as a commentary on the toll that war takes on individuals and society as a whole, as it glorifies the idea of marching through a field of blood and collecting trophies. Overall, the lyrics to Coercion's song March speak to the complex nature of warfare and the ways in which it can both motivate and destroy individuals.

This video is mostly good (and some bad) That happens.
It seems to me that the Emir-Stein Center seeks to build EMPATHY.
This is good and a worthy goal.
They are optimistic— as I am, that Islamic Civilization can climb the mountain of its Civilization and fully honor Human Rights (and acknowledge that the Age of Empire/Caliphate is OVER) Please, please do not pretend that this work has been accomplished in Islamic Civilization which is struggling mightily to incorporate human Rights principles into their societies.
One need only read the OIC Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam (1990) to immediately understand that Islamic Civilization is struggling to understand and implement basic and elemental human rights principles into their societies.
That having been said, the video seeks to build empathy by showing (truthfully) that during Islamic Civilization’s Empire Period (Caliphate), it’s system of Dhimmitude practiced a MEASURE of tolerance by protecting the persons, the property and the honor of the People of the Book. (Nobody is saying that it was perfect, and Nobody is saying that this is a workable model today— because it isn’t.)
Every measure of tolerance in this difficult (and often wicked) world is to be valued, understood and appreciated as a “climbing of their mountain.”
Think of things in relative terms— as the video does well (which is to say truthfully).
The West’s Medieval Period (often, uncharitably, called the Dark Ages) is contemporaneous with Islamic Civilization’s Empire Period or Caliphate Period (often, charitably, called its Golden Age) (650 CE - 1400 CE)
The truth is that during these respective periods, Islamic Civilization was RELATIVELY more tolerant than the West.
This point was driven home in the video by the fact that the West, from time to time, engaged in Inquisitions, Pogroms and Expulsions, while the Islamic Civilization did not.
The best lesson for ALL of us to draw from these facts (and by practicing Empathy) is that every measure of TOLERANCE is to be valued.
Tolerance is the key. (btw, Tolerance is the answer to the question, “What do we do with error?”)
Tolerance is good, right, salutary and noble; and invariably, leads to a more just and a more peaceful world.
It is tolerance that prospers us.
Now for a hard truth. We live in the modern world , characterized by the End of Empire and the Age of Human Rights. And the truth is that, in the modern world, the West is far more tolerant than Islamic Civilization.
The West, for all of its warring madness, tyrannies and injustices, has climbed the mountain of its Civilization (through the arduous process of Renaissance, Reformation and Enlightenment) and has adopted (in real terms) the values enshrined in the UN Declaration of Human Rights, while Islamic Civilization is still struggling with the basics of Human Rights, which, in fact, have been rejected, in significant part, by the execrable OIC Declaration of Human Rights in Islam.
The true hope for Islamic Civilization in the modern world is for it (and all of us) to remember its early measure of tolerance — and build on that !
Tolerance will work. It is a part of your (Islamic) pattern of civilization.
Make it grow, and enjoy the promise of peace and prosperity.
Peace
(Btw, the “bad” of the video is that near the end, the author engages in Socialistic, Collectivist, Postmodern nonsense about the “Equality of Outcomes” “Rigid Heirarchies” “Systemic Oppressions” all of which is a rejection of Classical Liberalism— is false and wont work)
Drop the Wokeness. Not every inequality in a complex world of free people, in free markets, making free decisions is an INJUSTICE.
Grow up.
kokori
so Andrew March does Dhimmi system is a good or bad law to you compare to modern law of citizenship? is it outdated?
those muslim with a sound mind and open minded what are you thought on this?
2:15 doesnt mean social & legal equality with muslim
2:33 non-muslim were not allowed to build new place of worship
2:50 non-muslim cannot carry weapon or riding horses in public
4:50 what are you trying to say here? dhimmi system in not relevant ? those muslim who doesnt believe in dhimmi system is a product of liberal belief?

Also Zakat (annual charity of 2.5% of wealth) for eligible Muslims used to be higher than Jizya (Dhimmitude) tax. Jizya was collected from free, sane, adult men who are able to pay it. The monks living in their monasteries or those too poor to pay it were exempted.

Muslims rulers had responsibility to protect lives of non Muslims ...

A very concise narration of the facts in just 7min.
Emir Stein Center keep up your excellent work.

It seems that lots of people here in the comment section don’t understand the difference between religious laws and civil laws. Not everything you heard in the video was a a religious law. Some were civil laws only. For example like riding horses and carrying weapons. Those were civil laws.
emyrshah
Very well explained.
Even in Indo-Pakistan, "dhimma-dar" (zimmedar in Urdu, Punjabi, etc) means to carry the responsibility for others.

Gotta thank emir stein centre for this informative video and spreading the truth

In most recent muslim majority states right now, as for example was:
Aceh Darussalam Province of Republic Indonesia, they implement more casual approach of justice. as for muslim they get rule stated to have equal rights for all citizen. even if a muslim was commited a criminal act that in match arrange with syariah rule, they will be in applicable penalties stated. but for non-muslim, if they commited same act, they can choose to be punished according to a law of syariah or in law of indonesia. well, most of time, its in their choice.
and i gladly said, today muslim was more woke than ever. they accept differences more than ever, but if they was also respected, like kindly. almost all muslim i know was a kind loving person, totally if they arrrange their lifestyle with islamic values.

Thank you for such a clear explanation.

It's funny because in Egyptian Arabic we use the term "Dhimitak" when you are challenging someone to tell the truth. I never connected the words until now.
