Good to see this on the FP. It deserves even more. (Must be published in a literary print magazine).

As I said in my comments in the iLog section:
"excellent poem with deep sentiments for a great man and a greater tradition"

And very timely ...

JAYP:

"...People like yopu always leave it ambiguous, jihadi doest not permit the killing of innocents, but you never say that infidels are not innocents and hence killing them is true jihad....." Don't be too unreasonable and parse on'es words too much. I don't think the author means that at all. Words are flexible and are not engineering specs to be precise.

Kashkin,

What si new, they blew up the bhumian budhas, that survived the ghouris and the gaznavis, but could not survive the paki strain, teh TNT- strain of islam for the madrassas of pakistan.

Harappa mohanjodoro all will go simply because you remain silent, you dare not say that killing of kafirs is not jihad. People like yopu always leave it ambiguous, jihadi doest not permit the killing of innocents, but you never say that infidels are not innocents and hence killing them is true jihad.
