Allah and the Profit

ISIS-K blew up a girls' school* al-Qaida claim flogging is cool No girl is worth A clump of earth Wherever the Taliban rule Jihadists strive to be lanky To decapitate a Yankee If Allah were judge Would He prefer fudge To another bloodstained hanky? *whilst school was in session!

What a world! The Taliban happily blew up Afghanistan and murdered its talent; now they "own" a desolate land with starving people and they seek this world's benevolence?

Hello Rico ... you have to ask yourself; who finances these excuses for humans. They're no more than oxygen thieves - thanks Rico - Lindsay

Not as scary as running out of virgins! Left to themselves, Jihadists will run out of women to kill leaving only other Jihadists . . ..

So sad, Rico...yet, so true, unfortunately.

Jihadists treat women as they want others to treat their mother and sisters, but it seems Allah has a shortage of virgins for them, so ISIS-K determined Allah needed their direction and assistance, hence the slaughter of school girls, but murdering women in a maternity ward defies explanation!

Quite a change from Kahlil Gibran's, "The Prophet" . . . .
