Why do muslims and others think Jerusalem. Please highlight the exact bits??
And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green And was the holy lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen
And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark Satanic mills
Bring me my bow of burning gold Bring me my arrows of desire Bring me my spears O'clouds unfold Bring me my chariot of fire
I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand 'Til we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land 'Til we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land
I'm not really sure what your point is, but glad you are enjoying the Proms, which at least for another year appears to have escaped political correctness, although there were a few ethnic minorities spotted on camera.
Is it not because it's about the holy wars out there back in the day when for some reason England thought enforcing christianity on the world might work out well? That's what I got from reading the lyrics anyway, I'm not mad keen on the actual song.
