The news in Nairobi, Kenya is pretty grim; to be gunned down because a non Muslim should outrage us all. It should also strike fear in the hearts of all peace loving Muslims and Christians. Obama as much as he avoids the term Islamic radicalism or Jihad and prefers to euphemistically portray Jihadist murder like the shootings at Fort Hood as "workplace violence", the fact of the matter is that we may be in a Holy War with no uniforms, no front lines, no quarter and no moral restraint or even the most basic tenets of humanity with Jihadists who by killing men, women, and children innocent all all crimes other than being in a school, mall, place of worship or going to work guarantees these demented fanatics a front row seat with the virgins in their Paradise: To all humans of all faiths, especially Muslims, and all humans without faith, join us in a new Crusade to eradicate the plague of Jihadism from the earth:
Kenya Wake-Up Call
This poet can only
pray that Obama heeds another deadly, bloody wake-up call
As yet another group
of fanatic Jihadists kill scores of nonMuslims in a Kenya mall
It is time to finally
call a spade a spade
Time to end this
politically correct, appeasing charade
We can continue to
have a reasoned, thoughtful, nonbiased debate
But the facts sadly are
that to the Jihadists no amount of infidel blood can ever sate
At least thanks to
our Seals, Osama bin Laden is dead
But Jihad has a never
ending supply of new terror heads
We can drone these
fanatics to death by the score
Yet like dragon teeth
a never ending supply coming through the door
We are with a portion
of Islam in an unholy crusade
A simple truth that even
in a PC world can no longer be delayed
If a new Marshall
Plan would work to give the unemployed Muslims a stake
Maybe then with
something to lose might hesitate to join the Paradise wake
Or if women could somehow shed
the repressed feudal chains
Lysistrata the
mullahs and Jihadists in a powerful voice to tame
What may be needed is
the Islamic equivalent of the edict of Worms
Ayatollahs, mullahs,
and Muslims of all sects branding Jihadists as heretics, scum, as unfit germs
That the Quran and Allah
the killing of infidels no longer condones or affirms
That the Gates of Paradise
are shut and in Hell the Jihadist will forever burn
A prayer by humanity
of all faith that millions of Muslims join in this noble crusade
And the Jihadists in
the sanctuaries of support and aid will no longer be able to raid
Until then we will be
driven to a unholy war against Muslims sadly wage
Daily watching our
precious Book of Soul, Tolerance and Humanity lose yet another page.
