"Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do learn are doomed to see it repeated by those who don't"

This song is the best anti-terrorism diss track EVER!

I like how Joakim sounds pissed singing the song

343 firefighters 60 police officers 8 paramedics Near 3,000 civilians 21 years later, yet there is still endless sorrow

Some rapper: i just dissed another rapper Joakim: that's cute

The most impactful act of terrorism in history has to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, a handful of Serbian nationalists taking out an heir in their fight against Austrian rule. And the aftermath arguably shaped the past 100 years of history.

a very underrated song in my opinion

Sabaton should play this live again Very underrated song, a hidden masterpiece. One of my favorites

Some great lyricist once stated, "Religion and greed cause millions to bleed." That wasn't contained to the Thirty Years War.

Damn, that ending was very hitting. Never imagined that you guys could have any conection to the Paris 2015 attacks.

As a French, seing tou guys feeling connected and concerned about the people who died in the terrorist attacks means a lot to me. Thank you for honoring the memory of those who are not here anymore.

"But thus I counsel you, my friends: Mistrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful. They are people of a low sort and stock; the hangman and the bloodhound look out of their faces. Mistrust all who talk much of their justice! Verily, their souls lack more than honey. And when they call themselves the good and the just, do not forget that they would be pharisees, if only they had - power." -Friedrich Nietzsche

The assassins get their name from the Hashashin who were a Nizari Isma'ili sect who lived in the mountains of Persia and in Syria between 1090 and 1275.

OK so I recently found a 7 year old interview with Joakim and now I wanna know: Does Joakim still drug people with viagra?

Me, two days ago, listening to "In the name of God": "Damn, nobody ever talks about this song. But ehy, the riff is super! Who knows, maybe it will be the next sabaton history video!" THERE WE GO!

For me "In the name of God" was really a personal motivation song to stay strong after each major terror attack in the last years here in Europe. It showed me the true cowardness of the terrorists and their pseudo justifications.

In the name of freedom, don't stop talking about this. Great episode

KZfaq's best days are the days when TimeGhost and Sabaton drop a new Sabaton History video. The effort that goes into these videos (and of course, the songs) are always appreciated. Thank you!

11 September 2001 was my Obi Wan Kenobi moment. I didn't know it had happened, but at the time it did I felt this awful feeling. It was only later I realised what had happened, & the fact it coincided with the time I felt awful. "It was like hundreds of voices suddenly cried out in terror, & were suddenly silenced." And those what, three thousand??? Those deaths changed the world as we know it.

I remember 9/11. I was 6 years old, didn't understand the gravity of the situation, but I recall the terror shared by my parents and other adults. And then the months of non-stop reporting by the media from Afghanistand and Iraq. I grew up scared of "the war", that "the war" will come to us too. Scary childhood, even though I lived thousand of kms away from New York or the Middle East... #343

What a valuable lesson, thank you once again! I only wonder if I made a mistake by watching this right before going to bed. Oh well, on the other hand, it's always a good a time for some Sabaton and history.

Eminem: I have the best diss track Sabaton: hold my history book

Very underrated song I remember seeing on the news about the Paris bombing and the Manchester arena bombing and I was scared for life. This episode really did help as shows the consequences of what happens after and peoples thoughts and it still is carrying on today. Thank you Sabaton 🤘❤

I was 4 when 9/11 happened, im a New Yorker something that you shall never forget. I love Sabaton too, they have nice music and historical music and they teach us history. Never forget any terrorist attack.

So here's a reason for contraversy that I didn't see addressed: stoking the flames of "Islamophobia." Despite myself being Muslim, I don't actually think that this song would cause Islamophobia, nor does bringing up the subject of Islamic Terrorism. But, I'm not like other Muslims in Western countries, I'm not particulary sensitive about the issue. Others, however, fear that the very reminder that Muslims did something bad, will just give ammunition to White Supramecists. I for one believe that notion to be false, as any mature human who's sound of mind will know everyone's done something vile in their history, and White Supramecists will hate us regardless. Either way, I think we shouldn't forget that this method of "warfare" exists. My second take: I personally consider the French Revolution to be the first true Socialist revolution: The working class rising up and violently toppling the rich in order to achieve equality. Hell, they did away with the "madam" and "miossur" (misspelled for sure) in exchange for "citizen" in much the same vein that Socialists refer to each other as "comrade." Of course, it eventually failed, and France ended up under the rule of a single man, much like every other Socialist country that's ever existed.

Something tells me this VID will be or is already demonitized. GREAT VID btw I love Sabaton and I love history

Diss tracking about terrorism is a brave move knowing that you can be a target to some extremist

Terrorists: Destroying what they could never build, with tools they could never make. The common enemy of all humanity.

Impressive, as expected of Sabaton. You people really give effort in properly understanding the topic related to the songs. Wish more people would understand the true nature of terrorism like that.

Very grim subject but you guys explain the effects terrorism has very well. Your stories on how you've experienced shows are touching. Great episode guys ❤

I'm a devout Muslim and IMO the world is torn apart because clashes between doctrines and religions. For doctrine is self explanatory, but for religion, I think any religious person should keep religions to themselves and not forcing others to believe what we believe. The 911 incident heavily effect Muslims around the globe, especially the minority ones became the subject of oppressions. Hope one day we can put religions to ourselves only and unite for peace. What y'all think?

Hands down, this song is one of the most underrated one of sabaton

I'm a little surprised that the Munich Olympics in 1972 and the plane hijacking in 1976 that lead to Operation Thunderbolt, among other incidents in the 80s and 90s, weren't mentioned when talking about the rise of modern radical terrorism.

Do not forget the Marawi Siege of 2017 where the ISIS-backed Maute group tried to set up their HQ in Marawi and transforming the area into a stronghold until they were wiped out by the Philippine Army... this song is also related to them as well..

I like listening to Pär sharing stories. But this one just made me remember all the horror of that time.. I fortunately wasn't THERE but all the people around the world (including me) were on the edge of panic attack for quite long time because of what happened. I simply cannot believe that people can do such horrible things to other people just because of some "incompatible beliefs" or something!

this is not the "in the name of god" song i had in mind.

Now for sure a Sabaton Hater on the internet after seeing this episode will say "SaBatON GloRIFies TeRrorIsM"

Sabaton and Powerwolf should cover each others In The Name of God

Sounds like an all too familiar loop we seem to choose to stay in.

Absolutely brilliant. I love this series. Very intelligent and insightful dialogue regarding the issue of terrorism and indeed, current affairs. Thanks chaps!

An absolutely brilliant episode as always.

I don't mean to nitpick but, the fourth 9/11 plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania due to the passengers fighting back. Great video none the less.

You should made a song for dessmond doss a medic who goes to war without bringing any weapon and saved atleast 75 lives

Hey, remember when the Pope compared the Charlie Hebdo massacre with punching a friend on the nose (for insulting ones mother)? Pepperidge farm remembers

I don’t carry what people say but suicide bombing is one of the worst things in war it kills to many innocent people if two armies fight each other’s they should never attack innocent people.

Suicidal, in a trance, a religious army Fight without an uniform and hide in the crowd Call it holy, call it just, authorized by heaven Leave your wounded as they die and call it God's will!

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. As is happening today.

The history repeats as we speak

I am learning of more Sabaton songs through this channel than any other method

Loving the casual sword on the desk and AK in the background

Thank you for an incredibly well written and informative episode. The depth of perspective is greatly appreciated.

In the end, conspiracies or terrorism cannot reverse the flow of history. But they can make it stagnant.-Yang Wenli Legend of the Galactic Heroes 1982-1986

Maybe do Ruina Imperii next? Since the last few episodes have been about heavy stuff, Maybe you can do a video on one of the most heavy moments for the nation of Sweden? The moment We lost Our empire and how the urge to regain an empire lead to stuff like the ugeninics programs in sweden, that gave (extra) inspiration to the nazis. And Maybe talk about the famous painting and how it isnt accurate to how it was?

This is probably the best Sabaton History video yet.

I have a very strong memory of me going home from school in April of 2017, listening to this exact song and really feeling message of the lyrics for some reason. When I came home, the news was on the TV and they were broadcasting from Stockholm where a terrorist attack had just taken place and several people had died.. It was such a creepy moment that I will never forget

I'm kinda shocked that the Provisional Irish Republican Army / The Troubles weren't mentioned, though I understand it may be a sore topic. I've often heard that modern terrorist bombing tactics came from the pIRA, but I guess i'm wrong - and/or that it could be considered more paramilitary than terrorism? I'm not sure.

You can hear hate in Joakim's words. The hate towards terrorists.

I love this video! So informative. Thank you!

Thats why all lives matter Every live matters and has value. Who frees himself of this ethic, is doomed for atrocitys in the name of whatever cause is popular at the moment

And there in lies the main difference between chrisitianity and Islam. If Christians follow the bible closely, they will see that it encourages the obedience to your government. As they are considered a rod to be used by God to punish the unjust. Which consequently, Is why some governments receive harsh judgement too. You see, though chrsitians have been violent throughout history, the bible encourages violence as only a last resort. "As far as it is possible to you, live at peace with everyone." So for those of you who may compare Christians to islamists, remember that difference.

Hmm, I would have said that Guy Fawkes and his conspirators were the first terrorists I knew of, though there are some key differences between that and the Reign of Terror - primarily the targeting. While Fawkes did target a civilian institution, it was specifically Parliament that he was after. (Nevermind that if he'd succeeded, he'd have killed many times as many servants and functionaries as actual Members of Parliament). As a Canadian, I can safely say that an attack on Parliament by a religious extremist certainly provokes that same sense of outrage and violation that I've seen in people from countries that suffered terrorist attacks against ordinary citizens. (For anyone who doesn't know about this, it happened in 2014, when a single gunman killed the soldier standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Ottawa, then charged up Parliament hill and into the main building. It ended when the sergeant-at-arms (a normally ceremonial title given to an old guy who carries a mace that represents the Queen into Parliament at the start of each session...because yes Canada has weird pomp and circumstance built into how government works) shot him with the sidearm 99% of Canadians didn't even know he was required to carry.) When you consider the magnitude of what Guy Fawkes had planned, the ceremonial burning of Fawkes in effigy that continues to this day starts to make more sense. (I mean, it doesn't - at 500 years after the fact, it's a *bit* much, but you can understand the anger needed to start that kind of tradition) But yeah, if your definition of terrorism requires targeting ordinary civilians rather than those in positions of power, Guy Fawkes would not qualify. And most of the other incidences of civilians being targeted to spread fear that predate the reign of terror were by military forces, or primarily had other goals (Viking raids, for instance, were primarily motivated by the profitability of looting rich, poorly defended areas, the fear it spread was mostly a side effect). Personally, I'd argue that a military force is entirely capable of committing terrorism, but that opens so many cans of worms when you look at 20th century history - particularly conflicts like WWII and the Vietnam War - that I'm not going to go there - this is already a long enough comment.)

Great episode, thanks for this episode I have been listening to the song in the name of God quite a bit lately. It's becoming one of my favorites.

Definitely one of my favourites, although the lyrics are quite dark. Kind of like what I have with the final solution or to hell and back.

all of this could not feel more current. history is about to repeat itself for x-time. we dont learn, but we think we do.

I was wondering if there's specific story, an important event behind this song since I listened to it first time. Now I know there's even more to this. Thanks for making this episode!

Great episode guys

Meninos, amo vocês demais!! Ouço todo dia!

This is sounding eerily familiar.

I’m really curious, does sabaton history have a dedicated group of people to reply to comments? If not,who does it?

Today my French Revolution class just finished the Trial of Louis XVI and started the Reign of Terror, and now this video drops. Weird coincidence, I guess

Another well made video

Tough topic and beautifuly handled there Indie.

"I have been made victorious with terror" - sahih al-Bukhari 2977

Very good food for thought, thanks guys!👍🏻 Skal🍻 from Kentucky

Nice video again😃

This was one song I was not expecting to see on Sabaton History

Good video and Sabaton rocks

I loved the well rounded description of terrorism

I have a lot of respect that you left comments on

There's been an attack in the next province where a man drove his car into an anti-racism protest, as well as several counter protesters who committed attacks on the organizers personally.

Interesting subject and video as well to. Was at a Iron Maiden Concert the Night before the Manchester Arena bombing and that alone was shocking

This was a great overview of terrorism as a whole. If you guys do another part to this as an American i would appreciate if you were to go in depth on the September 11th attacks.

Was just listening to this song yesterday and thinking about when they were going to discuss it in Sabaton History. Imagine that shit.

I absolutely love the story told by Par... Best episode of SH. I cried.

Love the riffs of this song

I actually use this channel both because history is interesting and to sample Sabaton songs.

The last words of Indy are the most true. "We can never justify it...."

wow this was darker and heavier than I first anticipated... well anyway thx Indy for sheding a light on this important, yet kinda neglected fact, and Par for sharing the stories... really interesting episode

The terrain untimely determines the battle, but the best kind of battle is an unfair one.

Great job I really liked this song it is good to see this get some attention

Thank you.

Uuuff, this is a deep one. I'm hard to touch emotionally at the moment, but the end nearly made me drop some tears. Let's always try to fight terror with fellowship and love ❤️

i like how indy and joakim didn't just bash Islam

History is so metal

It's always people's abuse of power that causes destruction. People claim that they have authority from God and use that to insight terror and destruction.

This kinda summarizes what's happening in the US right now. People are trying to rise up, and those who don't agree with them are counter-revolutionaries.

More relevant now than ever...

This was me and my friend's favorite song to listen to coming out of the second intifada days

Probably the best sabaton song imo.
