Charlie in Paris

[Sue Littleton]

Je suis Cherif…
Je suis Said…
Je suis Amedy…

JE SUIS MORT.

As dead as the blasphemers,
those who mocked God and the Prophet.

Born in France, rejected by France,
always accepted by Islam, the true Islam,
not the weak whimpering Islam of the false Muslims.
My blood brother, my brothers in blood,
we became martyrs, and now we are in Paradise.

Is Paradise an empty desert, filled with burning sand?
Of course, it must be!
Or we would not be wandering here…
Allahu Akbar God is great!!

We went to hear my brave teachers speak,
to learn to use the guns, the bombs,
and we returned to Paris
to share knowledge with our brothers.
We went forth,
hooded and dressed in the true color of Islam--
black, black, black.
The guns thrilled in our hands as the bullets
spilled the red red red blood of the blasphemers,
those fools who dared to mock Mohammed, the Prophet.
We three died martyrs, taking with us
a few of the dogs who had defiled us,
and now we are in Paradise!

Is Paradise an empty desert, filled with burning sand,
beneath a merciless sun, under a white sky?
Of course, it must be!
Or we would not be wandering here…
would we?
Allahu Akbar! God is great!

I replied to this on another site where we had an extensive discussion about the news... but want to reply to it here again. Your writing is dynamic. This is a fine piece of work, Sue... tough topic ..

Well you know, the West has been trying to take over the world, especially since the end of "WW2," the so-called "good war," and that obviously includes Middle East oil fields. And yes, "the Communist East" had similar designs on that area the whole time, so they were the first convenient, hated enemy. And then we had Israel taking land from Arabs, and it started to get ugly in a hurry, and remains so. And then you have the Iran-Iraq war and its chemical warfare, with an incomprehensible matrix of weapons supplied mostly by Russia early but also France, and then almost solely by Americans, who out of nowhere cozied up to Saddam Hussein (and supplied him). And all of these world powers at the time were just going for it, hell-bent . . . But meanwhile on the ground, after decades of war, death and invasion in the "Middle East," generations of sons have been ripped from their fathers, so what the hell did anyone expect anyone caught in that manufactured hell for so many years to say or do?

dune - the reason for reasons. sadly.

Sadly, it seems.

We never know the "other side," we just learn to hate it because it's evil. And with good reason it seems, most of the time.

bro; I think I become more and more cynical, and acerbic with a sallow jaundiced eye as I rapidly age, and believe more and more that there is only one side. too big too powerful to fail; and to paraphrase someone, as we slowly strangle the planet and humanity, all will simply whimper inexorably away as it dies a slow death.
