Though we just knew each other of recent
Your face I have not even seen
But I can see you are emotional
For Jihaad!
'Let's blow all of them up'
'The infidels and enemies of Islam' 'They are killing our people in Palestine, Chenchya, Bosnia...'
Emotions! Emotions! Emotions!
We were once like you
When 9/11 occurred
We jubilated on Samaru Campus
I could remember posting A piece on the Library Board
Praising and defending
'The Islamic heroes'
That made 'United Snakes' shed blood
I reasoned America ought to have defended itself
We were at war!
Just as your author reasons
By Allaah we were harakis and jihaadis
Always looking for fights
Just like you O friend
I was even called Osama
And I proudly took it
But we left the path Not the path of Islam
But that of radacalism
That's when knowlegde came
Since then we've been on the new path
Learning and teaching the way of the Salaf
No other pre-occupation
Even having read the 'best' of courses
Doing Jihaad
And awaiting the legitimate one
Alhamdulillah ala adhi-hin-Ni'mah So when we tell you
'Calm down'
We know what we mean
These emotions will take you nowhere
You will not help Islam
Neither will you break the enemy's back
This is sincerely from me
Hope you'l take it sincerely.
