In what The Rebel Media's Victor Laszlo perfectly labeled "a stunning display of sanctimony and insensitivity," pop superstar Sting opened last weekend's gig at the Bataclan club in Paris with a song called "Inshallah."

The Bataclan, you will remember, was the site of a ghastly Islamic terror attack in which jihadists tortured and slaughtered 90 trapped concertgoers. Sting's performance actually took place on the anniversary of that massacre, making his choice of "Inshallah," Arabic for "if God wills it," even more repulsive and inappropriate.

Sting introduced the song briefly in French. Below is the translation:

The next song is called "Inshallah." It’s a prayer [unintelligible]. It’s a proof of humility, courage and hope. It’s a story about a family on a small boat. I don’t have, unfortunately, any political solution to the migrant crisis, but I think if there’s any solution, we can find it if we show empathy, if we imagine ourselves on one of those boats, with our children and the loved ones. Here goes: "Inshallah."

Where is Sting's empathy for those innocent French citizens who were butchered a year ago in the very venue in which he was performing? Why didn't he write a song in solidarity with them and their children and loved ones? Where is his song condemning the ruthless violence of the jihadists who laughed at their moaning victims crying for help?

The true sentiment of Sting's performance of "Inshallah" at the Bataclan on this anniversary is not empathy but submission. Not righteous anger but cowardly self-righteousness.

Sting has a brand new album out called 57th and 9th. 'Inshallah" is on it. Boycott it.
