The Islam Rap

Here is a rap a student in 3rd block created for his religion RAFT assignment. It shows a lot of creativity but also gives a lot of information about Islam, including some examples of how Muslims should live their life:

Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
I'm about to go to Mecca to bow my head
Yes I'm Muslim and that;s what I said
I fast through the month of Ramadan while I'm reading the Koran or sleeping in my bed
Waiting until night so I can eat
I don;t see how Hindus don't like meat
I don;t see why the was tripin' when Keith Ellison prays with the Koran
Cause that's what he wants to do and when I become a congress man that's what I'm gonna do
Now I'm the youngest religion in the W.O.R.L.D.
Now I see why all the other religions be hatin' on me
Now see Judaism is my mother and Christianity's my older brother
And when we quit talking I knew we lost one another
