How strange it is. The odd happenstance
of two groups with like characteristics
one held universally in odium for appalling
human rights abuses, the other infamous
for the same reasons in storming towns and
villages to kill at random, beheading enemies
abducting women as sex slaves, slaughtering
entire families, inculcating hate in children
teaching them to become efficient future
martyrs to the cause of religious conquest.
In the passion of their violence inspiring new
generations, their exploits funded by religious
bodies yet both held to a vastly different standard.
Each recognized as fundamentalist extremists
who in the execution of their lethal ideology
are monstrous vehicles of death and destruction.
Their terrorism a mirror reflection of each other's
but one interpreted by ardent supporters as a
just cause, the other just because. The group that
brought the horror of medieval-barbaric atrocities
to the public eye when it recorded its atrocities
for all to view and shrink back aghast reviled as
its audience was repulsed and terrorized while the
second group proudly recording its own ghastly
abuses against humanity is championed across
the world -- for their victims are singularly Jews.
