Yeh Hum Naheen - Say No to Terrorism
Yeh Hum Naheen¸ (This is NOT us) is an NGO headed by Waseem Mahmood and a number of like minded popular Pakistani vocalists have choosen to join hands and raise their voice on behalf of the Muslim world coming together in the form of a an amazing soul touching sound track, featuring names like Haroon, Ali Haider, Ali Zafar, Shufqat, Strings, Shuja Haider and Hadiqa Kiani.
Since the tragic events of 9/11 which shook the world to the core the world has started to label all Muslims as terrorists, the veil, the beard and other Islamic symbols have come to be recognized more as a threat to the world rather then a symbol of a peaceful Islamic religion. The movement aims to address the issues of the growing radicalization of the Pakistani youth and the rise in terrorist activities breeding locally as well as on the international front, the long term objective of this organization definitely remains to address the negative image of Islam in the West.
Yeh Hum Naheen is geared to become an unprecedented musical movement. Featuring the vocal talents of some of Pakistan’s biggest music artists, including Haroon, Ali Haider, Ali Zafar, Shufqat, Strings, Shuja Haider and Hadiqa Kiani, uniting to sing out the message the world needs to hear. (MP3)
Written by Ali Moeen, composed by Shuja Haider, the central message of the song that has compelled so many people to become involved. It is a message of reconciliation, a message of peace and a message of truth. Capturing the imagination of people across the board, Yeh Hum Naheen has given a voice to the silent majority, those in the Muslim world who have for too long been mis-represented. These are the people who although not appearing on our television screens are saddened and shocked at the high-jacking of Islam by terrorists, and want to stand up and shout “This is Not Us.
We as concerned Muslims must join hands to promote this message of peace and love to the entire world.
We plead the world to hear this cry, Muslims are NOT Terrorists…

Assalam-U-Alaikum,
Thanks for appreciating my efforts, your post also mentioned detail information about “yeh hum naheenâ€Â.
Nice haan!
Regards,
Tarique kamal
I am the person responsible fopr the song. I really would be interested to hear from others what else we can do to get the message across.
“Yeh Hum Nahin”-OK I agree with this part but “hum kia hain?”, it was not told by the video. Is there something between the lines? What all I see few guys and girls moving their butts and singing “Ye Hum Nahin”.
if this NGO has been formed to promote similar message of “Enlightment and Moderation” then I must say that they are worthless.
Dear Adnan… Before we tell anybody else who we are we ourselves have to decide what we are. This is something I found that we have been in denial about. Maybe the next song will celebrate what we are.
Dear Waseem Sb,
Assalamualikum,
I saw the video a few days ago and decided to explore the web and approach you for my comments. I just read about your book and your intro on that website. Also visited the yehhumnaheen website and read through.
First of all, a very commendable effort. Nice job, nice song, good to hear, impeccable lyrics, the video however, could have been much better.
The lyrics actually spoke about how we feel about terrorism. At least some of us have the time, guts, energy and motivation to do something about it.
On other note, although I know that you are a media personality and possess command on language, the technicalities involved with the language on your website (yehhumnaheen.org) might be new to you. I am able to help you in that. I work in the field of IT (mainstream) and also in PR and marketing (freelance). I have some ideas about how you can spread awareness about the NGO and its objectives. Kindly tell me if you would be interested to know them.
Best regards and good luck!

Salam friends,
I am here to let you know all that I heard this song and it touched the strings of my heart with its lyrics,melody,chorus and more importantly the concept behind this fantastic song. And one thing more, infact I was the one who first wrote something about it on the internet in my blog given below; cos I was searching the internet for something of a picture of that particular video but got nothing at all. Here is that post on my weblog..
look guys wat these guys in the video gave done is just a small small step…a move to touch our hearts & awaken this generation of ours to do some good for themselves there family for there country…….but i still believe these singers can do more than just a song cum on there is ALI zafar STRINGS WHO NOT….yeh hum naheen aur hoon gey bhi nahin….kasam se
I seriously doubt that the world considers all Muslims to be terrorists. But it does consider us to be overly obsessed, curtailed and repressed by it’s presence in our lives. Repression never led to any good any where. All religions in the world if followed by the letter would pretty much amount to the same. But some, if taken out of context, can provide lethal combustible material. That’s our predicament. A change in global context… which we seem unable to grapple and adjust to. The failure not of Islam but of Muslims. We don’t know how to keep it in it’s right place.What we need to be saying is that there is more to Muslims than just Islam. Islam may provide the traditions and culture…the background tapestry but it does not hijack our independent thought and facutlies. That we are capable of moulding and adapting with the times. And that all the world is indeed our family. The message must project not teary-eyed rhetoric,anguish, remorse but clear sighted independent thought. A rejection of submission. A victory of the human spirit.
Khuda Hafiz …yeh ek hindustani Muslim ki awaaz hai.
We are like a pigeon who closes his eyes and hopes that the cat would walk away.
The cat offcourse likes the act of the pigeon, but do you think that seeing the ‘innocent’ act of pigeon the cat would walk away.
Please play the music again, let me close my eyes. I just hope the cat couldn’t digest the last pigeon she had and DIE OF OVER EATING.
LOL,
LOL,LOK
Hi All,
I think if you ask any Pakistani living in Europe or in America he/she would tell you that there is a def. need for a more acceptable medium for both east and west to understand each other. This is a great start, it is a touching video and the lyrics are good. Let this be the first step for some sort of journey of understanding. There is too much miss information and ignorance in this world. I am not pointing fingers just at the west; we are also seriously guilty of this. Let’s move forward and make this world a peaceful place for our future generations. Let this peace be our legacy.
Finally someone said “Yeh Hum Haheenâ€Â, now the question is what we are? No one is going to and tell us what we are, it doesn’t work that way. We have to find our self who, and what we are. Each and every one of us has to look within them self to find the answer. If we couldn’t then we will be named something else.
Hello uncle im shahrukh do you remember me im your bowler in your video. I really love this video and appreciate this video.My friends also liked your video. and i also agree with your aim. Thanks

Waseem,
Thank you so much for this much needed initiative, which will, I believe, do much to heal and to cement the bonds of our UK society.
I’m sorry for coming to your party so late but I posted a link on my blog (blogolob.net) yesterday. My guess is that you’ve reached the tipping point and are about to ‘go cosmic’.
Very good luck
Steve

Hi Adnan,
Two words for you…. SHUT UP…. if you dont have courage to do something than i will suggest that sit in a side and let others do something…. I really appreciate all these artists that they have come together to give the World a message, which is so desperately required. May be you dont care because you still live in a muslim country but there are millions of muslims living in Western World and we all need to get this message accross to the WEST that we are not Terrorists….
true……>>>>>
dere is a need for us to make ppl aware dat….dey r nt d ones whom we blame its being a great player behind dis chess….rottening the relation between…us…n nt them….
it says murder is haraam? but does that mean singing is NOT? or the fact that a singer (female) is wearing so tight clothes that we can visualise her body parts? why are we so hypocritical nowadays?
you guys are doing great to really prove that we are not terrorist but also dig at low level also cause probs are there
Just watched the video and I must say ‘yea hum nahin’.
It really touched the strings of my heart knowing the concept behind this fantastic song. I really appreciate the your work and would request all of you who feels for our country to spread this message worldwide.
Thanks.
FIRST WE ARE MUSLIMES THEN WE ARE PAKISTANI , AND THEY EVERY TRARIST BECAME A TARARIST WITH SOME PROBLEMS , WE HAVE TO IMPROVE THERE SELF .SOLVE THERE PROBLEMS , IF WE NOT SOLVE THEN WE ARE BIG TERRIST

AOA,
As a nation v r under deep stress and unable to take some decision and at this point of time we do not know how to tackle this situation. We should look for combine effort to bring change regarding the world’s opionion about us. This effort(Yeh hum nahin)should be appreciated. I m agree with those people who said that there other ways but dear if there is someone who initiated somthing for the common cause then we should respect that step. If you people thnk tht there r some better ways through which we can send our message effectively then you guys should initiate that we will be with you. Its time to rethink about our(Muslims) current standing in the world and am cent percent agree with the people saying its the worse period for the muslims living in the west. So its our resposiblity to set an example and change world’s opinion.
Take care, Allah Hafiz.
Salam
This is really a great effort to wash the false stain of terrorism from us.
It should be encouraged & fully supported.
Islam is the religon of peace & love.And we pakistanies also hate wars , killing & diturbance.
muslims are not terrorists at all in the history of the world history itself evidence ofthat thing that always muslims lead the world and fight against terror so i think that it is wrong to say that the muslims are the terrorists.I would like to tell whole of the world that we are not terrorists and i love Pakistan.And i
musalman terrorist nahin hain. woh log jo aisa smjhte hain woh ghalti me mubtla hain musalman aman aur sukoon ke perokar hain woh jng ko napsnd krte hain aur pyar o mohabbat ka pegham dete hain puray pakistan ko salam
terrorism America ke qyam se wajud me aya hai lehaza is ki jr america hai aur pakistan ko ilzam dene ki bjaye acha ho ga k apne greban me jhank kr dekhe
Assalam-u-aliakum.
i think this is a very good idea to say no to terrorism.: yeh hum nahee”
our image is going to fall in the world’s eye due to the extremism. they think this is ISLAM but i want to say clearly thet ISALM is a religon of Peace. there is no place in ISLAM for extremism. these extremists we are facing are not Muslims and they are not muslims not muslims……………. let me say in short America is responsible for all this. thanks. tnx to all people and starsfor doing this good job.
bye
Hi,i just wonna say that”talabaan nay huud he kar di hai”may God bless Pakistan and hold it in his hands till end.”may christian hu bt pahlay Pakistani hu.say with me Pakistan zindahbad!Love u Pakistan and its nature.Thats really true that YAH HUM NAHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.
I really appriciate the step taken by the organization and i disperately want to do some thing on voluntarly basis.Now is the time taht we should show HUM KIA HAI.
Just want to mention taht we should embose our society as a peace maker.
and eenately Yeh Hum Nahi…..
Amir Bukhari
we are the muslims so I follow the steps of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW).
Belive me yeh hum mulims nahi hain
Asslam-o-Alikum!
Yes all of us are right.
We(nation) are not one of those(nations), how do this type of activities. How is it possible, a person says Come and Kill me. Supose, If we are, then why we are killing our poeple/brothers.
I think so, these are situations created by some other nation to make us fight with each other, for his taste.
I don’t think so, there is need to mention how are those(nations), which are trying to do this.
My message to all of my Nation(Muslim Community), is to live together and help each other. I am also a educated person and doing job in lahore. i am also not true muslim, not praying for myself. and i am also not against modronism and gaining the style of western culture. But these are the activities, which are making them able to do such type of activities. We have to…………
1) Together
2) Help poor and needy peolpe even they are non muslim.
3) Elect a person, how has think power, and have some islam and his soul(Zameer) wih him. how can think what are the against our and islam benefits.How can stand against such wrong activities. All of our nation love him and his style of actions
4) we should be aware of Islam not all but try to get all.
5) We(all) should be aware of these type of activitis/situations created.
ok
Allah Hafiz
May ALLAH bless us

T e r r o r i s m
Well, there is a huge difference among the views of people regarding the issue.
Problem is its association with any religion.
Basically, TERRORIST has got no religion.
One is killing innocent or unknown human beings jst 4 the benifit of his own and his masters.
So, kindly dont attach ths word with any religion.
thanx.

ALLAH HAFIZ.
Obviously yeh hum naheen
Those who promote terror cannot be Muslims
But at the same time we instead of promoting the so called “enlightened moderation” we must promote the true Islam
Like terrorism the open and free society as promoted by the west is not a part of Islam
We must promote the real modest Islam
In my opinion promoting Islam by dance and music is not correct
It can be Indian or preislamic culture of Pakistan but cannot be the culture of Islamic Republic of Pakistan
salaam
mere bhaion islam main khud kushi haram hai jab allah pak ki sy apni nazar hata detha hai to us ko koi rastha nazar nahi atha aur o khud kushi ki taraf barna shoro kar detha hai yahan tak k o khud kushi kar letha hai.sucho bhaion k aj hum kahan hain band karo khuda k lay 1 khun par allah pak sari insano ko dozakh main dal dega agar o nahaq howa.
sab bhai in logo k lay duwa karo k allah pak in py rehaim kary aor in ko hidayat de samethy hamare .amin.
yr yeh jo terrorism haan yeh kon haan yeh bhi insaan hai yeh log yeh q nai sochte k hum kisi aur ko nai apne muslim bhaiyo ko jaan se maar rahe haan.mari tu bas yeh doa hai k allah in logo ko naiki ki hidayat ata kare(amin)
SALAM,
yeh hum nahee,yah koi or hai jo sazish ha hamary khilaf or ISLAM k khilaf.ISLAM is the only relegion which teach us to live with peace even with non-muslims.who r they.i m 1oo% sure that they r not muslim they r terrorist.now this our mission to kill them and kick them out from PAKISTAN.
Assalam-o-Alicum Very Low Persentage of Muslim Says that but i dont want to mis that Thank you So Much My Allah for making me Muslim, We muslim follow Quran and the Act which taken place through Last Nabi but still i have not found that ke apne muksud ke leye kise ka khoon bahaw
“Ye Hum Nahi” Islam means Aman Just Spreying Love & As for as Taliban Concern so every one knows that they are born by America and in the name of Osama America did war on it’s desired Country for getting oil War happened in Erac Afganistan and they Can do it again in Muslim Country because America knows that The Muslim Country are not United if We really Wash this stamp so we will have to United
Koe Song Bunane ya kise jaga juma ho ker nara laganey se nahe bulkey bulkey apney kirdar sai humey ye kehelwana purega ke “Ye Hum Nahi”
You really have done great Job for any help i am with you
Yehhhhhh Hummmmmm Naheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
We are lover not Killerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Something like that’s been needed since long
Islamophobia is something we need to curb before it’s too late
pakistan is taken for the name of islam. islam which is the universal religion. it teaches the respect of humanity & killing of human is the killing of the whole humanity according to islam.the country which is based on such universal & beloved religion how could b the terrorist & killer of mankind when at the same time the citizens of pakistan esp. muslims who r tied in relation of brotherhood. so we r not terrorists or suicidal bombers.
aslam o aliqum its good to hear that although its too late but atlast pakistanis has become unitied to show the true face of islam alongwith pakistan. its true k yeh hum naheen but what r the trouble lines which r showing contraty aspect. it is our weak economy which is gift of our corrupt representatives & self serving policies which has make us bound to bow for begging before westren lords who think themselves legible enough to not only rule our policies but to blame us that we r responsible for this chaos which has truly proved dangerous for our sovereignity & integrity. now the time has come to recognize & discriminate the friends & foes lest its too late.
We are the most peacefull nation of the world.God gifted us a small country in which we are living like a family. There are some people who don’t want that we should live together like brothers and sisters. We are 100% against of terrorism, the people who are doing this are not the muslims and even I don’t consider them as human beings. I don’t know who ever they are but I am sure that they are not the PAKISTANIS. ye log Jo dehshatgardee kar rahe hay ye hum nahi.”YE HUM NAHI”. HAMAY IN KE KHILAF MUTAHHID HONA HAY.
********”"ISLAM ZINDABAD….PAKISTAN PAYENDABAD”"********
Of course “yeh hum naheen”
Those who promote terror cannot be “Muslims”
But at the same time we instead of promoting the so called “enlightened moderation” we must promote the true ISLAM
We must promote the real modest ISLAM
In my opinion promoting ISLAM on that dangerous way is not right.
Allah Hamari or hamary Mulk ki Hifazat fermay (AmeeN)
“PAKISTAN ZINDA BAAAD”
This is a good effort by you to show the world that ” YEH HUM NAHEEN ” we condemn torrorism, we r not terrorist,we r peaceful, we should hold hands together, to show we are identical.. we should make efforts to promot Education,, Inshallah future of MY LOVELY Homeland PAKISTAN is BriGht….
PAKISTAN Zinda Painda BAAd…
AASI..
Assa la mua alakum! this campagiane should have been started very early. islam is religion of peace. islam condemns terrorism in all of it’s forms.
Hi
I think it is great work to fight against the terrersiom. We put up the great and soft image of Pakistan through this medium. I encourage this these type of campaigns.
May Allah bless this country and peoples.

Head about this some time back. Good initiative, IMO. We need more such organizations with more media exposure.
