In the Name of Peace

As long as we continue to accept 
the screaming of ‘allahu akbar’
in praise of those who gleefully
remove the heads of men,
whilst at the same time choosing to ignore 
the fact that the name of Jesus Christ 
is heard most often in the context of a curse;
then we are gradually, but inexorably,
handing over our future to the enemy.

The lord's name in vain! Yes, I have heard that too through out my life. Many believe the Second Coming is amongst us, who am I to doubt that.
