MARTYR

What ever happened to Martyrdom?
It used to be the bastion of heroes
The preserve of those seeking a greater good
People laying down their lives for others
The ultimate sacrifice one could make
It has now been deliberately hijacked
Hijacked by Islamic extremists
Cowards flying a black flag
Deliberately targeting unarmed innocents
Too cowardly to face equally armed opponents
In a proper theatre or field of war
Innocent holiday makers can’t shoot back
Innocent school girls cannot retaliate
Innocents riding the bus or the train
Innocents shopping in street markets
Innocents going about their daily business
Innocents for drawing cartoons
Innocents delivering aid to other innocents
Innocent medical staff providing care
Unarmed non combatants an easy option
For cowards promised up to 72 virgins
In heaven for them to abuse at will
There is no such heaven
There are no virgins
For suicide bombers
For bus bombers
For beach murderers
They are not martyrs
Their cowardice prevents them from being so
Their cowardice establishes their true nature
Subhuman filth with no redeeming features
Immediate Condemnation is required by all
Especially those closest to them
All must be brought to a true understanding
Of what it means to be a martyr
