So long as your intent is good and you are rendering to the world what is the world's and so forth, you reap what you sow and no pianos will fall on your head or python feet will squash you. Check out Hazrat Inayat Khan for more along these lines. But if you're "just trying to sell records" then you'll all probably go to hell. I wouldn't worry about it.

thank you very much for this; makes perfect sense. i think we're in the clear as making money has never been a priority of MRI if i were then we would have given up a long time ago ;-) This song is about non-violence and not enacting on one's impulse to tell people off, hurt feelings & burn bridges. We can even donate a % of royalties to a charity of Islamic/Middle Eastern origin as a gesture of respect and healing energy. any thoughts on that?

cheers-
Daren

Well, it depends on the exact reasoning behind it. If you don't feel its neccesary to donate some of the funds, but want to do it only to stop some super muslim man from pissing all over your song, then that really isn't really a good reason. If you feel you would be doing something good by donating, if you really want that money to go toward a charity, go ahead. You shouldn't feel obligated to donating money to a charity just because you used a sample from a song that has lyrics from the Quaran.
