From the perspective of giving those who would fight against I and I ammunition to use against I and I, perhaps I can see the I's point but I have been thinking about the role of symbolic threats of violence in I and I RastafarI movement recently and I can see how it can be a potent tool in I and I arsenal. Of course I and I do not fight physically. You won't find Rastafari people out on the streets beating up or killing people but you will definately hear I and I saying very violent things towards babylon. I personally would not agree with gun talk being a part of that, since guns are something I and I stand against but for I and I to use violent language in chanting down babylon in all it's forms is only natural. Think about it, I and I chant fire on wickedness. Can the I think of a worse way to go than being burned alive in a fire? By comparison, a gunshot to the head doesn't sound so bad.
Of course, all this is talk, not physical action. I and I know that Words have power and I and I can see they do in the effects they have. Think about what happened with Buju Banton and Sizzla and others when they sang these songs. I remember reading an article written about Sizzla from around the time the man was banned from England where the writer was accusing the man of violence saying he advocated burning homosexuals alive. That man had no idea what he was writing about. He probably couldn't even overstand the words of the songs he had listened to, let alone the symbolism I and I place on the words. Anyone reading it with even the slightest knowledge of I and I would know the truth of the matter.
When I and I speak out, I and I sometimes do it with talk of violence. Burning fire and brimstone, earthquakes, tidal waves, lightning and thunder and sometimes even gunshots, but I and I know the words are enough. If I and I actually went out and started shooting and killing politicians and wicked people, think about what would happen. They would call Rastafari people terrorists and build up a straw man image of I and I like they have with the Muslims. I and I would see Rastafari people suffering in Guantanamo bay. But while I and I sit and chant fire, they can only try and turn I and I words against I and I which only fools those with a babylon mind.
Blessed love.
I agree, it's ok to chant them down with "fire", since it's a kind of symbol for Rastas when doing that, but no gunshot. I'm not against chanting them down, but I'm not going to do that.
