Radical

If it weren't true it would be fiction.

Close your legs,

clamp tight

your thighs.

Hide your body

from prying eyes.

Encase your breasts

in a formless vest

lest cleavage

any man should test.

Dress from head to foot

in a shapeless burka

for you must live

in man made purdah.

But I, the male,

am born to pursue

anything

that I choose to.

I can take a flat chested-

child and impregnate

her with the seed

of deception.

For I am the inception

of Islam's lies.

oh my sir! super powerful social commentary ..made more "Radical" ....as it seems, at least here in the USA, criticizing the hypocrisies of Islam is taboo .. politically incorrect as it is said ;{ women's rights are ground to dust with impunity in the East .. and i am sure here in the West as well ... some enclaves of Muslim immigrants have even the police fearing to tread ... lest the lawsuit of persecution be raised .. courageous write, John ... wouldn't change a thing ... the shock factor with the impregnated child is very effective says i!

Good, powerful poem that might provoke some negative reaction, but from its artistic content well written with a tough line structure and strong emotive pace.

Thank you Leslie. I don't support any religious group and in particular radical ones. And I detest those hypocrites who use the laws of their faith to do what they will, undermining the faith and belief of that group. In all religions thee is good including Islam. As you already know. Thank you again Leslie.

That's how it comes across. Who said it was a man's world? It certainly is in certain parts of it.

I detest all raical religions but zealous Islamist who subjugate women, behead people and yet impregnate and marry children are the pick of the bunch. The case of Begum is a point in case as she ended up with a forty year old man when she was fifteen and at nineteen has had 3/4 children. Thanks Chris

It's awful, and yet she has shown no remorse at all :(

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed but it looks like she will be returning to GB

[Chris Shaw]

People who go and fight for or sympathise with the enemy are traitors. None of them should have been allowed back into the UK. I have really strong views on this subject.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I think most right minded folk would agree with you Chris.

[Chris Shaw]

Our politicians don't with their too liberal views. They should worry about the human rights of the population of the UK before terrorists.
