Written and recorded in Zeb's home studio in the Lower East
side of Manhattan during the Winter of 2002/3. Spy From Cairo's
'An Eye On The World' album is a melting pot brimming over with
intense emotion and feeling.
Zeb says "I started working on 'Don't Panic I'm Islamic' about
two days after the World Trade Centre disaster (I don't want to
use the word 'terror' because I'm sick of hearing it!) and I used
that title as an ironic protest against the crazy people who went
around harassing and sometimes even killing innocent American
Middle-Easterners in retaliation for the Towers... every song
that I wrote on this album after 'Don't Panic I'm Islamic' was
part of my healing process... because I'm not American, I'm not
English, I'm not Egyptian and I'm not Italian - I'm a citizen of
the World."
