She may support the idea of a separate state because of the opinion she has of the SL govt, but she hasn't openly condoned the actions of the LTTE, so I'm gonna give her the benefit of the doubt. As for pro-terrorist views, I think the LTTE flag makes a brief appearance in one of her old videos, but she toned that down after the Brits questioned her (in accordance with the Terrorism Act).PseudoRandomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01993144590186704387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21657491.post-37774470788645076942009-02-11T07:01:00.000+00:002009-02-11T07:01:00.000+00:00I actually don't think MIA is pro-LTTE at all.Ther...I actually don't think MIA is pro-LTTE at all.<BR/>There's a LOT of misconception about her music, because of the fact that her dad was a terrorist and because the subject of her songs is war. And the shotguns and lines are often misinterpreted as threats than cynical parodies. <BR/><BR/>She's already said, this is not about the LTTE, it's just a non-violent perspective from the eyes of the Tamil civilians. Listening to her music, I really didn't interpret any of it as pro-terrorist either.Makuluwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644141967808925811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21657491.post-39823075532181458562009-02-10T20:35:00.000+00:002009-02-10T20:35:00.000+00:00Nope! not MIA...Nope! not MIA...myprerogativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540703161113333006noreply@blogger.com
