Ahab :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by AlbertE. (United States), Nov 4, 2014 at 15:12

From fifty years ago the song "Ahab the Arab by Ray Stevens.

"Well, let me tell you about Ahab the Arab the sheik of the burning sands"

THAT SONG COULD NOT BE PLAYED ON THE RADIO TODAY. Ray too would be a dead man.
