Live/Band Aid

Guess what VH1 did last night? They had Live/Band Aid specials! What are the odds :) But here's a thought about that song and the lyrics - "let them know it's christmas time". The song was about poor Africa and the starving children down there right? So I've been to africa - thrice - but as far as I know this is true for most african countries as well... THEY'RE MUSLIMS! Isn't that like a slap in the face? I'm pretty sure they didn't care that much but somehow it just doesn't fit...
