Translation of Den Haag Connection rap calling for death of Dutch MP

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a highly talented Somali immigrant who started as a cleaning lady and, although still only in her mid-30s, was elected last time round to the lower chamber of the Dutch parliament on a VVD (liberal-right) ticket. She has been threatened frequently since being elected for describing Islam as a backward religion, an opinion which she later retracted, and for drawing attention to conservative Muslim misogyny.

Dutch-Moroccan rap group Den Haag Connection (DHC), whose other work is notably anti-Semitic and anti-women, released their Hirsi Ali Diss last summer (informally, they say; as a joke, they say) and, since the mainstream media is unlikely to do so, I’ve translated it:

The Dutch public prosecutor is charging the group, which includes “Omar Montana”, brother of the chairman of Belgian-Dutch Islamo-Nazi organisation, the Arab-European League, under article 121 of the Criminal Code. This is rarely used and allows the courts to punish those who prevent members of parliament from fulfilling their duty freely and without restriction with a life sentence, a sentence of 20 years at the most, or a fine. I am worried that, despite Hirsi Ali having spent recent months in hiding or accompanied by heavies, the courts, accustomed to the use of article 285 in these circumstances, will not be convinced. I am also worried because of the extensive support this kind of material enjoys in the neighbourhoods whence it came.

   Some American stuff gets about half as bad as this, but it’s always directed at fellow artists.

   There’s some pretty bad French things. I’ve got a dance track called “I want fuck you up the ass”, but it’s admittedly not rap

   ha ha ha charging people over a song??Can this country be any more ridiculous? And they wonder why dirty-ass criminals walk the streets here if courts deal with this kind of nonsense. There are enough things in this country to prosecute other than music, come on!

    ahahha haha people get a life. This is rap. And DHC is right though, if you would see that hypocrite of hirsi ali you all would agree with me. Allthough the language of the song could be a little less aggressive. But prosecute them for a song. hahahh hypocrite Holland. As soon there’s a song about a politician. Everybody makes a fuzz of it.

    In the Us there are hundreds od songs like this one about bush. That’s what’s rap is all about. Expressing your feelings

    So:
    - White boy sings about killing uppity niggers = neo-Nazi.
    - Arab boy sings about killing uppity niggers = OK.

    I’ve closed the comments on this post because of it seems to have become a shoutbox for ultra-racist/-sexist Belgian and Dutch Moroccans. I’ve also removed the decapitation comments; that’s not my scene, yet.
