The Radicalisation of Moderate Muslims

Showkat —

What are your views on false arrests of Muslims?


[size=18][b]The Radicalisation of Moderate Muslims[/b][/size]


[color=Navy]They came for my friend at dawn

Smashed his door

And pinned him to the floor

The strong arm of the law

Was felt on his body and mind

They Abused and insulted him with

words unkind


His wife was shocked

But in her room she was locked

His children cried

But they showed no mercy

Except joy and pride

They arrested another

In the war on so called terror


Didn’t matter

That he worked in the city

Was proud to be British

And attended every England match

including the friendlies


They had no pity

His little practice of Islam

And short trimmed beard

Was what they feared


He was guilty of association

With those he met at university

While studying for a science qualification

Attended a few talks and demos

Read a few books

About changing the Ummah’s situation


He thought he was safe

Went to work and paid his taxes

Moderate Muslim he claimed to be

But how was he to see

That if you’re a Muslim

And disagree with western values and policies

You’re on their radar and hit list


He thought it was a dream

Being dragged down the stairs

Unable to believe or scream

Can’t be happening

It’s not real

But the pain he could feel


Put in a cell

On his own

He could tell

They would question

About his past and his views

And to answer

Would later

Incriminate


Caught in a dilemma

To deny Islam

Or to obey Allah

Those were the options[/color]


[color=DarkRed]Heaven and hell flashed

In front of his eyes[/color]


[color=DarkGreen]What views do you have about Iraq?

The Caliphate?

And the Ummah?

Was the intro

They were clued up

While his lips glued up

He remained loyal

To Allah and his messenger


They tried all sorts of tactics

Threatened him with loss of job

All to open his gob

And for him to sing like a parrot

Even offered carrots

To incriminate innocents

He had never met


During the interrogations

He counted the days

In between loss of sleep

And saying

" No comment, no comment"

Even in his sleep

Until eventually he hit 28th day

In captivity

And they reluctantly released him


No apology

For false arrest

Loss of earnings and reputation destroyed

Didn’t even pay for his damaged door


Before he was a moderate

Now he’s a lot more

Before he was blind and believed in British justice

Now he knows the score

Who’s the enemy?

Who are the allies and brothers?

And what’s the solution for the Ummah’s sad situation[/color]

[b]Alhamdulilah he rabbil alameen

Allah guides whom he will via means we never imagined[/b][/CENTER]

[quote="You"]he was guilty wasn't he?[/quote]


The majority of those arrested have been released and the few who have been charged have been in relation to other non terrorist related issues.

There is no such thing as false arrest of muslims, well not in this country anyway. 9 times out of 10 they are guilty of the crime they are being accused of. I've heard of a handful of ppl (who are not related to me) who knowing got involved with the wrong crowd and as soon as the cops got a wiff of it they have gotten a one way ticket to paki land!


ps I knew what you meant admin, but I think you should have added a smiley face to show sarcasm. The question mark, which is grammatically correct, does imply you require a response to your question.
