10 Upbeat Bollywood Songs To ‘Torture’ ISIS Extremists
British forces in Libya are using Bollywood music as a new psychological weapon against ISIS.
They got the idea when Pakistani intelligence said Bollywood music would be perfect to bring out ISIS extremists in Libya, as they consider music un-Islamic.

So now British soldiers are using Bollywood music to unnerve extremists, blaring the music near their hiding places.
According to some media reports, this musical weapon against ISIS is helping reveal their locations. ISIS members complain about the music over their radios.
Here are the 10 best Bollywood songs we think British troops should use.
1. Razia Gundo Mein Phas Gayi — Thank You
How about this song with Mallika Sherawat asking Allah to save her from the men she’s caught between?
2. Mashallah — Ek Tha Tiger
Or this song with Salman Khan praising the beauty of his leading lady?
3. Chayya Chayya — Dil Se
This song is a must, with SRK saying he wants find the girl of his dreams like a verse from the Holy Book.
4. Race Saanson Ki — Race
So is this song that makes Allah the protector of love.
5. Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai — Sultan
This song would be another good one to play since the actors are playing Muslims dancing at a wedding.
6. Piya Ke Bazaar Mein — Humshakals
Another good choice, this song has a qawwali feel, and the men ask the women to become part of their bazaar.
7. Chikni Chameli — Agneepath
Or even this one, where Katrina is the hot centre of attention.
8. Mar Jawaan — Fashion
This song is also a good option, praising two people's love in Arabic.
9. Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai — Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
This song is definitely one of the best options since it’s all about SRK loving his girl more than God.
10. Jumme Ki Raat — Kick
Lastly, this one is also a good pick since Salman Khan asks for a kiss on a Friday — a very important day for Muslims.
