A Protest Against Religious Intolerance (For Kurt Westergaard And Lars Vilks) Poem by John Thorkild Ellison

Beheading cartoonists? Give me a break!
Remember when witches were burnt at the stake?
In primitive ages when ignorance ruled
The Popes and the Prophets had everyone fooled!

Of course it's a fact that everyone's scared
Of a man in the East with a very long beard
And no sense of humour but a heart full of hate
Who'd snuff out compassion 'cos Allah is great.

Now jihad and fatwa are everyday threats
And weak politicians are hedging their bets
It's no time to dither and sit on the fence,
Get rid of Religion and vote Common Sense! !
