“They are madmen!” the media shout.
They’re not crazy, these guys are devout.
A Jihadist who cuts
Off a head isn’t nuts,
For he clearly knows what he’s about.
He’s a warrior for the Koran.
He’s Mohammed’s fanatical fan,
And his closed evil brain,
It is twisted but sane;
He’s of Islam’s dark army – the van.

Twisted brain is right — and demonized soul. Both the warriors and the ones who defend them. The predominate attitude of the world these days is that insanity is the new normal. Good job on making that point.
