i have always loved this song ever since i was a little kid when it first came out. it had all the big pop stars of the year for 1984. so ya i recognize half of the stars in this video. people are soo hung up on morality, that they seem to forget the main theme of Islam, which is alevetating poverty, remembering the poor, those less fortunante than us. people who dont even have food and clothes to wear, and most of the Muslim world continues to live in dire poverty, where little kids are begging on the streets of baghdad, cairo, delhi, bombay, hyderabad and karachi etc..
after all why do we fast in ramazan? its to remember the starving poor who have no food to eat when the sun sets. why do we sit on the floor in the masjid? after all churches have pews thier worshipers to sit on? its to remember the poor who cant afford recliners and other nice soft cushions that we take for granted, since all they can do is just sit on the floor.
this song may supposed to be a christmas song but the words are very moving.

In our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
First say a prayer pray for the other ones
Theres a world outside your window
And its a world of dreaded fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
WELL TONITE THANK GOD ITS THEM INSTEAD OF YOU!
The greatest gift they wil ever get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Here's to you raising flags for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
