Metalhammer **caution to those easily offended**

so, one of my friends was ecstatic to tell me about something she found on youtube. it is a video of a German synthpop band called AND ONE. this band has a song called METALHAMMER. in wacky german synthpop fasion, they sampled the Azan which is the muslim call to prayer. now, by doing this, do you think they meant to offend anyone? how far is artistic expression allowed to be pushed and still be called artistic? in my opinion, its fine. however, while searching for it on youtube, i happened to stumble upon another german synthpop group which covered METALHAMMER. this time, i think they may have gone a bit too far by having one of the singers pretend like he is prostrating and then begin dancing in the kneeling position. too far?

here is the song:
