Father Abraham, Speak to Your Sons



(CNN) -- On the morning of July 7, 2005, Islamic extremists detonated three bombs on trains and a bus across London, killing 52 people and wounding hundreds.

That night, U2 performed at a stadium in Berlin, where during "Sunday Bloody Sunday," frontman Bono donned a headband bearing the word "Coexist," designed to incorporate a Christian cross, a star of David and an Islamic crescent.

"Jesus, Jew, Mohammad, it's true. All sons of Abraham," he chanted, pointing to the symbols to plead for religious tolerance during a time of war -- a gesture Bono repeated throughout the tour.

Father Abraham . . . What have you Done?



Some graphitti was written up on a wall not too far from here
It says coexist
Jesus, Jew, Mohammed, it's true
Jesus, Jew, Mohammed, it's true
All sons of Abraham
Father Abraham, Father Abraham
Where are you now
Father Abraham, look what you've done
You've pitted your son against your son
Father, Father Abraham
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more
