FOX Trolls and Foreign Policy

 

FOX News brand conservatives have all been up in arms;

Angry at Obama - claiming his discretion harms

Our war on extremists who use violence as their tools.

They insist he use the word "Islamic" but they're fools.

Make this a religious fight and world consensus fades.

Countries in the region, who remember the Crusades,

Want to join a war on terror - not one on Islam.

Why would he offend our strongest ally - the imam?

Most imams say terrorists are  un-Islamic thugs

Murdering in Allah's name... Not worthy of the rugs

Where they kneel for daily prayers or else they would have heard

With their gruesome actions they're perverting Allah's word.

We're all hunting brutal killers, call them what you will.

President Obama's showing diplomatic skill

Using nuanced language to achieve a common goal.

I guess that's too subtle for your average FOX News troll.

Je suis Ahmed

 

Muslims are offended (not a shock; they always are)

Saying, once again, that Charlie Hebdo's gone too far.

Can't portray the Prophet on their cover... That's a sin.

I think Charlie had to - or let terrorism win.

Followers of Allah and the Prophet also say

How are they responsible for ISIL, anyway?

Claiming double standards when we ask them to condemn

Terrorists whose targets, up to now are - mostly - them.

Problem is; these criminals are acting in their name.

Muslims don't agree a strain of Islam bears some blame:

Thinking lack of education, poverty, and strife

Are the only reasons young men choose to take a life.

I agree; those play a part in helping to recruit

But, when Imams preach that choice, these finer points are moot.

Islam may be peaceful but its angry youths are not...

That should be their focus - Not what cover Charlie's got.
