Kamli Wala Mohammed, by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

The qawwali songs and chants of the Sufi Muslim tradition are expressions of generosity, compassion, love and ecstasy -- the very antithesis of the intolerance, hatred and violence of the 9/11 attackers and their supporters, and equally the antithesis of benighted anti-Muslim reactions in America and abroad. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was a Pakistani qawwali composer and singer who died in 1997.
