Campaigning for Peace

The religion of peace has
spawned its death brigades
in honour of the god who
commands a universality of
global surrender to the holy
spirit's compassionate dedication
to the welfare of humankind.
The holy scriptures circumscribe
the means and imposes upon
its faithful hordes their sacred
obligation to colour the
civilized world in the blood
of violent conquest. Witness
the verbal gymnastics as
Western targets view the
Islamist jihadi atrocities
denying the terrorists could
possibly represent Islam, for
their victims are also Muslims
practising their faith in the
misbegotten belief of the
sacredness of all human life.
It is a contortionist's challenge
to avoid charges of inciting
suspicion of Islam even while
its ardent followers burn, sack,
destroy, rape, enslave, torture
and delight in mass murder to
convince the skeptical world
their only mission is peace.
