#1 Since the Irish Halawa women were arrested in the company of a number of hardcore Muslim Brotherhoodlums, would it be a good guess that their home mosque in Dublin, where their Daddy is imam, is also home to hardcore Muslim Brotherhoodlums? Like maybe Daddy and brother Ibrihim? If I was Ireland I doubt I would try hard to get these people back.

Oh, but they will, Glenmore. They will...

#3 Bringing the secret of the potato boom to the ME should be considered traitorous.

#4 Omaima O'Halawa, tell me why you hurry so
Bismillah, hush and listen, and her cheeks were all aglow
(Though of course I couldn't see 'em, there beside the peaty dune,
For all of her besides her eyes was hid by a cocoon.)

[Chorus:]
By the rising of the moon, by the sigh of the simoom,
For the scimitars must glitter by the rising of the moon

And do tell, Hussein Halawa, where the gatherin' is to be
At the mosque down by denial, quite well known to you and me
Allah' akbar for the signal, whistle out some Um Kalthoum,
With your powder in your drawers, by the rising of the moon

[Chorus:]
By the rising of the moon, smite the infidel baboon
With your powder in your drawers, by the rising of the moon

Out from many a shuttered harem eyes were watching through the night
Many a manly heart craved one last buggery before the fight
Muezzins sang down the valleys like the banshee's lonely croon
As the faithful stuffed their underwear with stuff that goes kaboom

[Chorus:]
By the rising of the moon, by the sigh of the simoom
And the faithful stuffed their underwear with stuff that goes kaboom

By that ululating river that black mass of men was seen
High above their shining scimitars flew Al's beloved green
Death to every pig and monkey! Let our martyrdom be soon
Inshallah, me boys, for freedom, when our drawers go kaboom

[Chorus:]
'Tis the rising of the moon, soon we'll sigh like the simoom
And hurrah, me boys, for freedom, when our drawers go kaboom

#7 Looks like that Mosque back in Eire should get a raid too.

#8 #5 thanks, Zenobia Floger6220

You're most welcome. One of my favorite tunes. Thought I might piss people off with this one. I'm not the sharpest judge of humor in person, let alone in writing, so I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one to get a laugh out of it.
