You Can Take The Man Out Of Sharia Law Land, But You Can Never Take Sharia Law Out Of A Man Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Mr. Hassan wanted to ‘bridge’ the connection between cultures after nine eleven,
He just wanted for the majority of us to understand that all Arabs aren’t the same,
He founded a cable station, Bridges TV, to help with this connection,
His wife, Aasiya, became very western, very American,
She found that she could leave him, legally, a divorce,
This writer is not privy to all the circumstances surrounding this relationship,
But for Mr. Hassan, Aasiya became the enemy, what can be worse?
Mr. Hassan, who is most likely a Suni’i,
who did take matters in his own hands,
In his own way,
'Obviously, this is the worst form of domestic violence possible, ' Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said today.
Muzzamil beheaded her in his own TV station, Aasiya’s separated body lay there dead,
There wasn’t any “Bridge” connecting her torso to her head,
The founder of an upstate New York TV station aimed at countering Muslim stereotypes has been arrested on suspicion of killing his wife, who was beheaded, authorities said
The thoughts of videos by Islamic militants beheading their captors ran through my mind,
The videos played in my thoughts that Alljazeera TV unfurled,
…early Sunni Muslim practice of beheading enemies in war and putting their heads on pikes, and you get what one might expect in the reinvention of shari'a in the modern world, …
Islamic terrorists have beheaded so many people,
Including a geologist from Poland, Piotr Stanczak, in Pakistan,
There were beheadings in the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand,
Saudi Arabia and on and on,
(search victims beheaded by Islamic militants *) ,
So I see no difference between what has happened in upstate New York
And elsewhere around the globe,
I thought it was weird when I spoke to Bob Bauer,
not Jack, a past DJ from WLLZ,
Who was in Recon in Vietnam,
How he used wear a necklace out cut-off Charlie’s earlobes back in Da Nang,
But this is different, but it is the same,
Whatever this means, Mr Hassan you have set ideas back a few,
if not more, centuries.
