I don't get why it has to be a big deal. it was back in the 70's. Robert Smith isn't racist and is not supporting people who kills arabs (what?). Didn't you read that little sticker on the boys don't cry cd/lp/tape? they have even renamed the song to killing another (killing in london?), just to be political correct! Nagging, nagging....

The song cites the scene when the person is killed at the beach from "L´étranger", a famous book since decades long before terrorism!!!! This has nothing to do with racism. FREEDOM OF ART FOREVER!!! = What a hypocricy and what double-standards to look for anything to criticise in a pseudo-poltically correct manner! = What a primitiviness of racists who isolatethe title to promote their fascistintolerance and messages of hate.

Alienacionglobal, can´t you read???Where in the lyrics is said:I´ll kill you arab ?The lyrics describe rather the astonishment and the "indifference" the books deals with.Camus was definitively not a racist ;-))))FREEDOM OF ART FOREVER!!!

Whoever the "Stranger" in this song kills, is irrelevant! Whether it's an Arab or a Chinese man or an Irishman.... The song is about how it doesn't matter whether he shoots a gun or not, because we all die in the end! And killing for peace is senseless.It's existential. Not racist. Read the lyrics and use your brain, instead of assuming because of what you first see.
