Muslims! When you perform your wudu,
What is that you think you do?
With what care you perform ritual ablutions,
Five times daily for your habitual intrusions
Into this world of creative spontaneity,
Hating Nature, loathing kuffar, and serving your own vanity!
Salafists, Wahabbis! wash your faces, forearms, feet –
While worms fill your hearts on which they feed!
I've relished wudu, learned the script, revelled in prayer ...
Then, absorbed in dhikr I reread those suras, became aware
Of what you're doing, have always been doing, will go on doing:
Not joy you sow but stark despair, and all of your wudu-ing
Will never cleanse a single hair; you love jihad but know no God!
You love to conquer, just not yourselves; claims of peace deception, fraud.
Taqiyya your gospel, and mighty hospitable, as it suits you, as it suits you –
Supremacist and underdog unified in Umma, addressing others, Christian, Jew,
Or East or West: your plans are laid, appeased and blessed by States who've screwed
Their peoples for less, dhimmitude without conscience courage or character to confront
An ideology of such massive proportion, with an own ideology which would grant
Islam all that it wants and hankers after – how the imams do sheikh with laughter,
At the suicide of nations – full of patience, speeding their haste for dominion – gullible kuffar!
And so I weep, and go on weeping, for all your victims, my head bowed –
My weeping is my wudu, my tears are my ablution now.
How do you propose to pursue a
discussion
with someone who's identifying
– much or little,
with a nearly three billion
population of believers
in a 14 centuries-old doctrine
which proposes
that you are kuffar
and thus unworthy; or dhimmi,
and therefore second-class and
taxable for it –
unless you should decide to
forgo and identify as well?
How do you propose to approach
a discussion
with one who either
perpetrates, aids, or abets
the practice and
implementation of unspeakable abuses
on an unspeakable level at an
unspeakable frequency,
with an ever double-sided
habit of speaking, whose
stated agenda is to make you
and the world bend to its image
or else bow to its
all-encompassing domination?
How do you propose to begin a
discussion
with those who demand your "tolerance" but have none themselves,
who mis-use the multi-culture
you already had and press it into mono-,
who will not conform to the
modern jurisdiction of lands they've entered
but demand you and every land
conform to the archaic court of the bedouin;
who shun the clothing you wear
and the meat you eat while demanding
that you break your neck to
suit the design of their environment?
How do you discuss coexistence
with one who is not only
incompatible with but entirely
against the very notion of democracy,
who withdraws his hand from
any Western female encountered in greeting,
or who withdraws herself
behind her niqab
and insists
it's her choice and right,
who hold Jews to be apes,
Christians to be pigs, Hindus to be worse,
gays to be less,
and generally despises animals
and nature anyway – emphatically insisting
that this is about a religion
of peace, asserting this argument most aggressively?
God alone knows your real
name,
don't let the ignorant name
you.
If you are critical,
non-appeasing and awake,
don't accept the mantle of "Islamophobic,"
tell them who would name you:
that you are "kuffar"–
it's more honest, and exposes
their own game
of card stacking, of dice
loading, of branding you
intolerant, negative,
populist, a public danger –
when you've confronted them on
just that and more –
of projecting their venom and
their bigotry on you.
Cheer up, stand straight, look
ahead;
go into your love, stay there
in your love;
their aggression will test
your resolve;
relax in your Infinity, this
love is far far older.
