WTF?!

Is not Boko Haram the real face of Islam?

Or are there Muslims intervening,

when mosques fill up five times from

mornings till noon, and on into evening?

Do they ever collect for their purses,

or exercise such faith-muscled intention

to exorcise themselves of these four
                                                    curses:

self-pity, supremacy, misogyny and
                                                   aggression?

I can joke about Jews, I can criticize Christians,

irritate Evangelists, satirize Sikhs, polemicize

Pentecostals, pun on names of every nation,

but it's "offend not the Muslims" for they're on the rise!

These peace-loving Muslims I keep hearing about –

are they there, do they care? Tolerant are they indeed, but of whom?

God knows their hearts, our politicians clearly not –

confront Boko Haram or just distance themselves, conceding room?

Sunni and Shi'ite compete in loathing and murder, in scheming

bound hands and feet since the origin of their species; no love

is lost where none there was, "There is no room for God!"

                                                    is what I hear them screaming

from minaret to minaret, region to region, age to age.

Sufism, being of no traceable age

in embodying light, quite conscious'

took on the mantle of Islam, minus the rage –

in order to clean it of its darkness.

I do not have the means, I'm afraid, to deliver, or bring

succor to all who've suffered by this "Islam" – do not

wonder that I sleep with the weight of all their killing

and barbarism, Damascus or Baghdad, in war and prior to it.

How odd, that ISIS carries the name of a goddess they'd abhor,

ask any one of these Jihadis or their wives, they don't know themselves;

puerile hatred of the modern which they use, rejecting all and wanting more –

perhaps reading right to left they see 21^st century as 12^th.

How odd, that there, among whom Compassionate and Merciful

are repeated in millions of mouths a thousand times daily, one is told;

there, among whom it is said "In Islam there is no compulsion,"

are women whipped, gays hanged, boys raped, children sold;

Christians ousted, churches mocked, no discusssion, bibles burned;

woe to you should you convert to something else, your loathesome

daring will be repaid by those who keep their women interred –

yes, go be Christian and die a martyr by the blood-soaked knife

                                                              of your own family's bosom.

Come let us be tolerant, though, let's all be politically correct now;

let churches in all Muslim lands disappear, and Christians as well;

leave them their patriarchy and let them have a Caliphate, allow

for ever more mosques to be built here, everyone else go to hell.

Let Shari'a come, and see how you like it, it's making inroads –

try on a burqa, ladies, a hijab – you'll love it, there's no compulsion,

so long as there's compliance, your life decided for you by wiser heads;

outwardly chaste, now everyone chaste: no holding hands, dears,
                                                                              that's only for men.

In light of Nigeria, Sudan and Mali, Somalia, Iraq, Iran and Syria –

I have but my craft to put down some lines, and what conclusion
                                                                            can I draw this hour:

only this, let everyone worship as they wish, formulate their faith
                                                                               without hysteria –

let Muslims have Islam in their own Muslim lands; and never
                                                                   give Islam political power!
