Producer Cry Lehlaka only realised the serious error of judgment which DJs
Tea and Kay had made on their latest hit house mix when he received a bomb
threat.
The sound of the Muslim prayer known as the Ayat-ul-Qursi had "simply
appealed" to them, so they had lifted a version of it and used it as part
of their new House Therapy compilation.
But it wasn't long before Lehlaka, operations manager at the popular House
Therapy production house in Pretoria, was taking calls from Muslim fans
furious at the apparent blatant exploitation of a sacred verse.
"There was only one person who threatened me with a bomb," Lehlaka said,
"but most people who phoned were angry. We honestly didn't realise how
serious the lyrics were, so we immediately promised to take the song off
the CD, which is what we have done."

If you go into Sudan today; Your heart will fill with dread
If you go into Sudan today; You might just lose your head
Because on the sands; With blood on their hands
Every nut that ever was; Will be there because
Today's the day the Teddy Bears; Have their Jihad!
