Stupid Muslims, Stupid Christians Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

Stupid Muslims, Stupid Christians

By: Freeyad Ibrahim

A Muslim from the Far East has once Said
The caricature staff of Charlie Hebdo
Were killed by the angels sent
by God to revenge and make them dead.

A Christian from the far West,
neatly dressed and extravagantly fed,
opens the door of his new shiny car
for his neatly dressed dog
which is warm and well-fed
The boss makes up his new expensive bed,
Flirting his dearly kingly Dog
until both have soundly slept!

At the same time, millions of people
all over the world starve to death
no food, no water, no bed, no bread.
Millions of tears from Fear and Hunger are shed.

The Eastern stupidity, seems to me,
differs from the Western idiocy, a bit

The Eastren Society where I was born and bred,
believes in superstitions and prophets,
and believes that the dogs are unclean, must be dead.

While The Western Society believes more in dogs than
in the human beings and the prophets,
The gap is, here, like that between foot and head.

But both histories East -West are red,
both have, due to Belief, so much blood shed
Thousands whose head cut off by scaffold in France
more than thousands by stoning by Islamic law
and thousands were -and still-are beheaded!
Two histories both are filled with dread.
