The song has been preformed as Killing an Arab for the past 35 years ! Politics don't dictate punk ! This song should not be changed based on the political situation of today... The Cure changing this song to Killing another is a complete cop out ! The song is not even racially motivated. Do your research on the song you will find it's based off a French novel that has NOTHING to do with Arabs , or freaking Muslims...

Only someone looking to justify their own hatred would interpret this as racist."One of the themes of the song is that everyone's existence is pretty much the same. Everyone lives, everyone dies, our existences are the same. It's as far from a racist song as you can write. It seems though that no one can get past the title and that's incredibly frustrating."The fact is it's based on a book that's set in France and deals with the problems of the Algerians, so it was only geographical reasons why it was an Arab and not anyone else." - Robert SmithThe song could just as easily be "Killing Another" rather than "an Arab" and indeed has been performed that way at some shows.

fyi....not a racist song as some think, it's actually Robert's 'summary' or 'expression' of Camus Book 'The Stranger'
