 I Thought... I Was Wrong
By Linda D. Delgado - Copyright 2005

I thought you were my brother I thought I was your sister I am Muslim... But who are you?

Your goal is an Islamic State To get there you use death and hate Is your goal Jannah ? Or the Hell on Earth you create?

At what price?

You kill me again and again You seal your fate I thought you were my brother I thought I was your sister...

I was wrong

I am every child you blow up I am every woman you rip to shreds I am every body charred and limbless I am every headless man You hid in a shallow grave

I am Muslim

You lie to our children Suicide bombers you make Never worrying at all That it is Jannah they forsake

You bomb schools and masjids You tear families apart You create hunger, want and need It is from the Ummah you depart

You celebrate with weapons Held high above your heads Muslims weep after your destructive wake It is Allah you forsake

I thought you were my brother I thought I was your sister I thought you were Muslim I was wrong

You are not my brother I am not your sister You are a Killer! Look in a mirror and you will see

You are Islam's Enemy

*Definition Key:   Jannah = Heaven   Ummah = the Global Musim community   Allah = Arabic name for God   Masjids = churches/Muslim places to worship God
