Terrorist Poetry - Not Criminal

Never ever forget that we are dealing with cold blooded killers who have co-opted Islam. Even when they are found “not guilty” of writing bad poetry, “these” people are dangerous.
NEFA has released a new slide presentation about a woman known as the “Lyrical Terrorist” Samina Malik, who along with Sohail Qureshi was accused of planning terrorism in Afghanistan and other places against coalition. Malik was prosecuted for possessing the documents, and not for her poetry. See Kohlmann’s post at Counterterrorism Blog.
Excerpt from “How to Behead” by Samina Malik
It’s not as messy or as hard as some may think.
It’s all about the flow of the wrist.
Sharpen the knife to its maximum.
And before you begin to cut the flesh.
Tilt the fool’s head to its left.
Saw the knife back and forth.
No doubt that the punk will twitch and scream.
But ignore the donkey’s ass.
And continue to slice back and forth.
You’ll feel the knife hit the wind and food pipe.
But Don’t Stop.
Continue with all your might.
About now you should feel the knife vibrate.
You can feel the warm heat being given off.
But this is due to the friction being caused.
More of Malik’s poetry:
• In a poem titled “Raising Mujahideen Children,“ Malik suggested that indoctrination should begin at 7 years of age: “Show the children videos and pictures of mujahideen and tell them to become strong like them…Explain how the Mujahideen fear no man - they fear Allah alone, and for his sake they are able, willing and capable to do anything in defence of Islam.”
• In a poem titled “The Living Martyrs,” Malik wrote: “For the living martyrs are awakening and Kuffars [non-believers] world soon to be shaking.”
• She also wrote, “Let us make Jihad/ Move to the front line/ To chop chop head of kuffar swine,” as well as that “Kafirs your time will come soon, and no one will save you from your doom.
• Malik argued: “to partake in something and to write about something are two different things.” She continued, “this does not mean I wanted to convert my words into actions.” She even claimed she “did not realise there was such a thing as extremism.”
• Her defense team also drew parallels with the WWI poetry of Wilfred Owen: “Poetry can be described as disturbing, shocking, even repulsive. What is the intent? Is it to shock, to revolt? That in itself doesn’t make it criminal and it doesn’t help you to get into the mind of who has written it.”
And now for the “punch line.” While at first convicted, she was let go because the British courts rules that actions and not thoughts were illegal.
Lyrical Terrorist, Samina Malik
Sounds like a veiled way to pass on some training. BTW, while exposing the name of the lead interrogator of KSM the NY Times mentioned that Mr. Mohamed is a poet, too. Just like Saddam.
All poets are not created equal;
Of course the end of the sequel;
In all cases of terror and the rest,
The result can be none but eternal death.
May as well let her go, other Brits have written much better terrorist poetry. My personal favorite would have to be:
I count the corpses on my left, I find Im not so tidy
So I better get away, better make it today
Ive cut twenty-three down since friday
But I cant control it, my face is drawn
My instinct still emotes it
I slash them cold, I kill them dead
I broke the gooks, I cracked their heads
Ill bomb them out from under the beds
But now Ive got the running gun blues
It seems the peacefuls stopped the war
Left generals squashed and stifled
But Ill slip out again tonight
Cause they havent taken back my rifle
For I promote oblivion
And Ill plug a few civilians
Ill slash them cold, Ill kill them dead
Ill break them gooks, Ill crack their heads
Ill slice them till theyre running red
But now Ive got the running gun blues
— David Bowie, 1970
I tend to agree with the court on this one. Bad poetry is not illegal. Besides, it should give the Brit government a lot of leads.
Although poetry has been used throughout the ages to incite feelings, this Muslim’s poetry is being used to incite and encourage hate against Kafirs.
But I wonder how effective her poetry really is? I seriously doubt it’s inspiring masses.
Good contrast/comparison though with Bowie’s composition, Running Gun Blues (from The Man Who Sold The World).
One example of a song taken the wrong way was Judas Priest’s song, Beyond the Realms of Death, which supposedly incited a teenager into suicide.
I agree with the court’s position with the appeal; however, if they ever discovered the poet was influential in any way toward a terrorist act, she should be put down and punished.
