To stop terror the tree of terror must be cut first then it will bear no fruits.
picture by somali cartoonist Amin Amir
When terror is the hope
Disaster is the fruit
Those who feed on them
Shall only breed terror
From one terror to another
The world lives in terror
Oh Lord May there be peace

Abdi-Noor, as always, the only antidote to religious terror is religious peace. Just as Christian peace activists went to Iraq to protest the invasion, so Muslim activists must come out to refuse to accept terrorism - and base their case on the Q'uran.
We must also work together to defuse terror as a tool of religion; just as Christians in the West must remove the arrogance and pride that led to Iraq, so Muslims must remove the hate that has led to the fatwa in Iraq, telling Iraqi assyrian Christians to convert to Islam or die.....
We work together on that; begin to change the world where we live.
A very good dipiction for a good picture. In this case I would suggest root kill after it's been topped so no branches return down the years. May we all find our peace within. Good write. Lady J
New Poetry by Abdi-Noor Haji Mohamed (Eagle Of Hope)
Grab those side-irons, saddle up and join former Civil War sharpshooter Luther Henry for a ride into pure terror, western-style…think ‘Wild Wild West’ meets ‘The X-Files’.
The fortunate inherit riches, prestige, positive notoriety. Those not so lucky bear legacies filled with poverty, infamy or, worse yet, the unhinged insanity and murderous urges of their ancestors.
