There Was A Young Doctor From Perth/A Muslim From His Very Birth

Here.

You can continue the limerick, with or without the inspiration supplied by Gershon Legman.

The point is not prosodic, but that this doctor’s views, apparently, were well hidden from view. And if his best friends were amazed at what they saw as his sudden metamorphosis — he’s in Raqqa now, urging others to join him — how can the security services possibly know what Muslims are thinking, including those we think, because they do not go off to the Islamic State, or display the Black Flag of Islam, must surely be “moderate” — and what, for god’s sake, does that word “moderate” mean? Does it mean that they don’t take Islam fully to heart? Is that what a “moderate” Muslim is — someone who is not completely a Muslim, whcih shows that we understood that the full message of Islam is dangerous? And if we understand that, and we also know that there is no permanent barrier between the “moderate” Muslim and the real, or full, or immoderate one, so that any “moderate” can become, for any number of reasons, a direct threat, why should we not regard the “moderate” Muslims as themselves a danger, forming the  inland sea in the Western world, in which the immoderates can swim?
