 Charlie Hebdo Puts Muhammad on Its Next Cover

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.
