"We were like a tiny bird born in a cage"

I happened upon this video of Muslims Say God Bless America and thought it so remarkable I want to give you the YouTube link with the translation by MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute

We did not know what democracy was
Until America brought it against our will
We are like a tiny bird born in a cage
Its father and mother were born in the same cage.
And so were its ancestors
— For the past 1,400 years…
Along came America and
Broke the cage open.
But the bird does not know how to fly.
Because it has never used its wings.
We do not know what to do
With the values of freedom
— Because we were born slaves, the sons of slaves,
the sons of slaves for the past 1,400 years…

Hat tip No Pasaran
