"'''Jihad'''" is a song by the [[United States|American]] [[thrash metal]] band [[Slayer]] which appears on their 2006 [[album]] ''[[Christ Illusion]]''. The song portrays the imagined viewpoint of a terrorist who has participated in the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]], concluding with spoken lyrics taken from words left behind by [[Mohamed Atta]]; Atta was named by the FBI as the "head suicide terrorist" of the first plane to crash into the World Trade Center. "Jihad" was primarily written by guitarist [[Jeff Hanneman]]; the lyrics were co-authored with vocalist [[Tom Araya]].


"Jihad" received a mixed reception in the music press, and reviews generally focused on the lyrics' controversial subject matter. The song drew comparisons to Slayer's 1986 track "[[Angel of Death (Slayer song)|Angel of Death]]"&mdash;also penned by Hanneman&mdash;which similarly caused outrage at the time of its release.
The season officially started on May 15, 2007 in the eastern Pacific, designated as the area east of 140°W, and on June 1, 2007 in the central Pacific, which is between the [[International Date Line]] and 140°W, and lasted until November 30, 2007. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Pacific basin. The season began slowly; through the end of July, the seasonal [[Accumulated Cyclone Energy]] (ACE) was the third lowest since the geostationary satellite era began in the [[1966 Pacific hurricane season]].<ref name="July TWS">{{cite web | author = Blake/Mainelli/Rhome/Brown | date = 2007-08-01 | title = July Monthly Tropical Weather Summary | publisher = National Hurricane Center | accessdate = 2007-08-01 | url = http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/tws/MIATWSEP_jul.shtml?}}</ref> The inactivity continued through the next month, which was the third quietest August in terms of ACE since reliable records began in the basin during the [[1971 Pacific hurricane season]].<ref name="August TWS">{{cite web | author = Blake & Mainelli | year = 2007 | title = August Monthly Tropical Weather Summary | publisher = National Hurricane Center | accessdate = 2007-09-01 | url = http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/tws/MIATWSEP_aug.shtml?}}</ref> In June, [[Tropical Storm Barbara (2007)|Tropical Storm Barbara]] caused $55&nbsp;million (2007&nbsp;USD) in crop damage to southeastern Mexico from heavy precipitation.<ref>{{cite web|author=El Universal|year=2007|title=Destruye tormenta tropical más de 9 mil hectáreas de plátano|accessdate=2007-07-26|url=http://www.teorema.com.mx/articulos.php?id_sec=47&id_art=4064&id_ejemplar=0|language=Spanish |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20070930065751/http://www.teorema.com.mx/articulos.php?id_sec=47&id_art=4064&id_ejemplar=0 |archivedate = 2007-09-30}}</ref> In August, [[Hurricane Flossie (2007)|Hurricane Flossie]] formed in the eastern Pacific and crossed into the central Pacific; the hurricane threatened [[Hawaii]] but caused little damage.

Joseph Dias of the [[Mumbai]] Christian group "Catholic Secular Forum" expressed concern over "Jihad"'s lyrics, and contributed to ''Christ Illusion'''s recall by [[EMI]] India, who to date have no plans for a reissue in that country. [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC-TV]]'s Broadcast Standards and Practices Department censored the song during Slayer's first US network television appearance on ''[[Jimmy Kimmel Live!]]'' Only the opening minute was broadcast over the show's credits, thus omitting 40% of the lyrics.

"Jihad" is a song by the American thrash metal band Slayer which appears on their 2006 album Christ Illusion. The song portrays the imagined viewpoint of a terrorist who has participated in the September 11, 2001 attacks, concluding with spoken lyrics taken from words left behind by Mohamed Atta; Atta was named by the FBI as the "head suicide terrorist" of the first plane to crash into the World Trade Center. "Jihad" was primarily written by guitarist Jeff Hanneman; the lyrics were co-authored with vocalist Tom Araya.

"Jihad" received a mixed reception in the music press, and reviews generally focused on the lyrics' controversial subject matter. The song drew comparisons to Slayer's 1986 track "Angel of Death"—also penned by Hanneman—which similarly caused outrage at the time of its release.

Joseph Dias of the Mumbai Christian group "Catholic Secular Forum" expressed concern over "Jihad"'s lyrics, and contributed to Christ Illusion's recall by EMI India, who to date have no plans for a reissue in that country. ABC-TV's Broadcast Standards and Practices Department censored the song during Slayer's first US network television appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Only the opening minute was broadcast over the show's credits, thus omitting 40% of the lyrics.

Origins

Mohamed Atta, who left behind a "motivational" letter following the September 11, 2001 attacks. An excerpt of these words was later used in a spoken text format for "Jihad"'s climax.[1]

Primarily written by guitarist Jeff Hanneman, "Jihad" features lyrical contributions by vocalist Tom Araya.[2] Both Hanneman and Araya had previously written about controversial lyrical matter in past Slayer tracks; while Hanneman had written songs like "Angel of Death" and "SS-3" which explored the atrocities committed by Nazi figures such as Auschwitz concentration camp physician Josef Mengele and Third Reich henchman Reinhard Heydrich, Araya had delved into the lives of serial killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Gein in the tracks "213" and "Dead Skin Mask" respectively. "Jihad" is written from the perspective of a 9/11 terrorist, and imagines the thoughts that "the enemy" might have.[1][3] The climax of the song features spoken text taken from a motivational letter left behind by Mohamed Atta,[1] who was named by the FBI as the head suicide terrorist of American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane to crash into the World Trade Center in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Guitarist Kerry King has been outspoken in his defense of "Jihad", and has claimed that the song has the "coolest angle" on Christ Illusion.[1] "These new songs aren't political at all," King states, "'Jihad', 'Eyes of the Insane' — it's what's spewing out at us from the TV."[4] He further clarified that the band was not attempting to promote the terrorists' perspective of the war, nor their ideological beliefs, although he expected others to assume that Slayer was doing so.[1] They did not wish to dwell on the topic "because every band on the planet already has" and "came from a certain perspective", so felt they had to present an alternative viewpoint.[1] "We're Slayer, we have to be different" was King's assertion.[1]

American singer/songwriter Steve Earle attempted a similar concept in penning "John Walker's Blues" (from the 2002 album Jerusalem), written from the perspective of the Washington-born John Walker Lindh, a Taliban member captured during the 2001 US-led invasion of Afghanistan.[1][5] Earle was criticised for this track; King anticipated a comparable reaction to "Jihad":[1][5] "People make an assumption before they (read) the lyrics. It's definitely not only human nature, it's very American-natured."[5]

Musical structure

"Jihad" is 3 minutes 31 seconds long.[6] A skittering vamp leads into the track, during which Lombardo shimmers his hi-hat.[6] Smoothly mixing up tempos, the band build the song with a fast,[7] "wonky, catchy and angular"[8] guitar riff reminiscent of the breakdown in 1986's "Angel of Death".[9] This guitar riff decelerates before bursting forward again in two-bar stretches underpinned by Lombardo's pounding, fifth-gear drumming.[7]

IGN reviewer Andy Patrizio was dismissive of the song's musical structure in comparison to other tracks on Christ Illusion: "'Jihad,' 'Flesh Storm,' 'Skeleton Christ,' 'Supremist,' and felt there was too much similarity in the riffs, tuning, tempos, and arrangements."[10] MusicOMH.com's Ian Robinson was also negative, remarking that the song "concludes with the 'now getting slightly old hat' Slayer trick (but still atmospheric) of over sampling voices over the solo."[11]

Reception and criticism

"Jihad"—alongside fellow Christ Illusion album tracks "Eyes of the Insane" and "Cult"—was made available for streaming on June 26, 2006, via the Spanish website Rafabasa.com.[12] The album was Slayer's ninth studio recording, and was released on August 8, 2006. During reviews "Jihad" received a mixed reception.

Blabbermouth's Don Kaye gave the opinion that "a handful of songs" on Christ Illusion "are either too generic or the arrangements are too clumsy to work well", and specifically singled out the track: "I'm looking at you, 'Jihad' and 'Skeleton Christ'."[13] Ben Ratliff of New York Times remarked that the song is "predictably tough stuff, but let's put it on a scale. It is tougher, and less reasoned, than Martin Amis's recent short story 'The Last Days of Muhammad Atta.' It is no tougher than a taped message from Al Qaeda."[7] Peter Atkinson of KNAC.com was equally unimpressed, describing the group's choice of song climax as:[14]

Not all reviews were so negative. Thom Jurek of Allmusic observed that "the band begins to enter and twist and turn looking for a place to create a new rhythmic thrash that's the most insane deconstruction of four/four time on tape."[6] The Austin Chronicle's Marc Savlov asked readers to "listen to the eerie, stop-start cadence of lunacy in 'Jihad,' with Araya essaying the role of a suicide bomber almost too convincingly."[15]

King would have appointed "Jihad" as the group's nomination in the "Best Metal Performance" award category at the 49th Grammy Awards, deeming the chosen track "Eyes of the Insane" "the poorest representations" of the group on ninth studio album Christ Illusion.[16] Despite King's statement, "Eyes of the Insane" won Slayer their first Grammy award.[17] The Slayer guitarist has also stated; "I like playing 'Jihad' because I'm back changing my guitars, and Jeff starts it and he starts it quietly so you can hear the fans go crazy about it and you can't always hear that at the beginning of a song."[18]

Controversy

"Jihad"'s lyrical matter provoked controversy from several quarters. Peter Atkinson of KNAC.com remarked that the song, "no doubt will be Christ Illusion’s most controversial track." In May 2006, World Entertainment News Network announced that revelations of the song's lyrical content had angered the families of 9/11 victims.[19]

Joseph Dias of the Mumbai Christian group "Catholic Secular Forum" (CSF) issued a memorandum to his police commissioner, in which he expressed concern that "Jihad" would offend "the sensibilities of the Muslims...and secular Indians who have respect for all faiths."[20] EMI India met with the CSF, apologising for the album's release, and recalled all copies, with no plans for a reissue.[20] On October 11, 2006, it was announced all stocks had been destroyed.[21] The track, alongside the album's controversial Larry Carroll painted cover art and provocative lyrics, were the specific reasons for EMI India's decision.[20] Araya had expected "Jihad"'s treatment of the events of 9/11 to create a backlash in America,[3] however it failed to materialise.

Comparisons to "Angel of Death"

Yeah, that was blown out proportion. People thinking they know what it says without really reading it. And that will happen with every record for everybody, because people like to take an opinion without being informed about anything. It's easier to just shoot your mouth off because the more noise you make the less basis in fact your argument has to be because people are too dumb to recognize the difference.
-Kerry King, KNAC.com[1]

On a number of occasions the song has been compared to "Angel of Death",[1][26] a Hanneman-penned Slayer track from 1986's Reign in Blood, which was lyrically inspired by Nazi physician Josef Mengele.[27] "Angel of Death" focused on human experiments conducted by Mengele at the Auschwitz concentration camp in World War II.[27] KNAC.com's Peter Atkinson commented upon the similarities, to which King responded that the whole affair "was blown out of proportion".[1]

Making the connection, King remembers thinking "Great, now we're gonna be answering for this one!" after listening to a playback of the song.[26] "But as with 'Angel [of Death],' we're not endorsing anything. It's just not an 'anti' song, either."[26] Hanneman emphasised, "Like 'Angel of Death,' it's just a documentary."[23]
