How to Behead

Hold him
Tie the arms behind his back
And bandage his legs together
Just by the ankles
Blindfold the punk
So that he won't hesitate as much
For on seeing the sharp pointy knife
He'll begin to shake
And continuously scream like an eedyat
And jiggle like a jelly
Trust me–this will sure get you angry
It's better to have at least two or three brothers by your side
Who can hold the fool
Because as soon as the warm sharp knife
Touches his naked flesh
He'll come to know what'll happen
It's not as messy or as hard as some may think,
It's all about the flow of the wrist.
No doubt that the punk will twitch and scream
But ignore the donkey's ass
And continue to slice back and forth
You'll feel the knife hit the wind and food pipe
But don't stop
Continue with all your might.
About now you should feel the knife vibrate,
You can feel the warm heat being given off,
But this is due to the friction being caused.

Reading the poem above, what do you feel? Do you feel instigated to commit an act of terror, or do you feel disgusted?

How to...

A Poetic Alternative

Image
You've all read the rather infamous "How to Behead" poem and expressed your strong views about it. A lot of you have articulated your disgust, a lot of you have questioned IslamOnline.net's editorial wisdom in publishing it and asking for views.

Some of you said that as Muslims, we should "Confront it, discuss it," because not doing so is causing more damage.

Others thought that "this poem is intended to hit a nerve in the human core, just in case society has already become numb to this atrocious act as it is glamorized graphically in Utube ..." and said that by reading this poem, no one would want to carry out the act.

You do not like it? Now it's time for you to provide poetic alternatives.

Start your poem with "How to..." and fill in the blanks.

Please note: We are asking for poetic contributions only. Any contributions that are not poems will be removed by the editor.
