#1 The poetry is nice and all, but it wasn't revealed to the Profit (may his infinitives never split.) As a matter of fact, my Spidey senses are tingling; I definitely think I detect the influence of Shaytan in this 'verse'. It merely distracts the believers from the One True Path and there will be a fatwa against this as soon as the Elders can properly draw it up.

And Allan knows best.

#4 There was a man called mohammed,
who memory will never be deaded.
He liked fiddling with small girls
and waging jihaded.

The mosque and TV,

So from predators we do flee but
the kuffars they do see.
And the inside of our pickups
they turn reded

#5 It makes perfect sense to me that anthropologists are among the best qualified to explain Yemeni society.
