As Salamu Alaikum
So, let me get this straight:
You tear my veil to free me You jail me to rid me of my terror You kill my beloved to liberate me You shoot my baby to erase my misery You starve me to show me how to vote You threaten me to bring me to my senses You wage war on me to help me find peace You slay my people to teach me compassion You humiliate me to aid me live with dignity You insult me to illustrate freedom of speech You crush my bones to save me from my evil You demolish my home to elevate my morality You uproot my tree to raise my ethical standard You steal my resources to bring me social justice You assassinate my leaders to bring me security You bomb my town to train me into democracy You destroy my history to educate me about progress You dehumanise me to coach me into humanity You wipe me out to push me to civilisation You scorn my faith to bring me salvation Thank you sir How can I -ever- pay you back?
