The Song is an effort against the extremism. A critical statement of Kafir which is frequently used for others in our society by some extremists religious groups. Everyone sticks to his sect and thinks he/she is pure Muslim and other one is Kafir. This became the main reason of Peshawar incident. The message in the song clearly depicts that If they think we the normal and liberal Muslims and our children as Kafirs then yes we are.
