108 The Islamofascists

free verse written by Sabina England
September 2011


GIF artwork by Princess Hijab

My piece addresses Islamophobia and anti-Muslim racism. The piece explores the concept of the racist word "Islamofascism" which was coined by neo-cons to encourage Islamphobia and racism against Muslims, Arabs, Middle Easterns, and South Asians. The very word "Islamofascism" is an attack on ordinary Muslims everywhere and portrays Islam as an evil, primitive, backward religion in the aftermath of September 11, 2001 hijackings.

"ISLAMOFASCISTS"

Islamofascists
I’m a fascist
Islamofascists
I’m a fascist
Islamofascists
They say I’m a terrorist and I wanna blow up America
and the world
They say I hate freedom
and good beer
They say I’m an oppressed woman
not allowed to think or feel
or enjoy good sex
They say I’m an Islamofascist
who wanna bomb the world
and kill everyone
They say I’m a radical
A dangerous mind that gotta be shot down
from the blue sky
Islamofascists
I’m a fascist
Islamofascists

They say I hate Jews and gay people
and good white people
Islamofascists
I’m a fascist
They say I’m a criminal
straight outta Lahore
They say I’m angry
with burning hate for whores
They say I’m ignorant
Born into an immigrant family
Raised in da hood
Taught to hate white people
They say I’m a mastermind
Trained in private schools for rich A-rabs ‘n’ Paki’s
Taught to build bombs
and fly planes into buildings
Kill all whiteys
Blow shit up
Islamofascists
I’m a fascist
Islamofascists

They say I’m an extremist
too obsessed with human rights
for the Palestinian people

for the Indigenous people
for the global south
for the whole world
They say I’m angry, too serious, too unhappy
I speak the truth
I make people uncomfortable
I tell it how it is
I make people think about the horrors of the world
I speak of the Western bombs that bring terror to my people
These people, they don’t wanna think about it
They hate it
They wanna live in bliss ‘n’ comfort
and call me an Islamofascist
They want me to sit my ass down and be quiet
Human rights, for brown people?
Only good white people are allowed to speak
They say I’m crazy, I make everyone look bad
I’m brown, I’m Muslim, I’m female
Shut up and be polite
and let the white woman speak for me
Pull the black veil over my face
Push me to the door
while I stare down at the floor
and pretend to be weak
Take my voice away
Remove my face
Erase my identity
I’m just a blob in a black cloak
Another nameless woman
Oppressed ‘n’ terrorized
by evil dark men
Islamofascists
I’m a fascist
and I gotta be put down
and shot at
and stunted
and mocked
and degraded
and humiliated
and analyzed
and dissected
like I’m a dirty insect
They hate us
and I hate them too
Islamofascists
I’m a fascist
I’m a terrorist
I’m a criminal
I’m an illegal alien
I’m a beaten housewife
Islamofascists
I’m a fascist
I’m a terrorist
I’m a criminal
I’m an illegal alien
I’m a beaten housewife
Islamofascists
I’m a fascist
I’m a Muslim
They hate me
and I fuckin’ hate ‘em too
You want me to blow shit up?
Hey I’ll bust jihad on yo ass
Hear me bustin this rhyme
and let me blow your mind away
Islamofascists
I’m a fuckin fascist
and I don’t care
You see my brown skin
You think you know shit about me
You see my Muslim name
You think you know shit about me
You see I’m from South Asia
You think you know shit about me
You see me in hijab, saree, abaya, burqa
You think you know shit about me
You think you know shit about billions of Muslims all over the world
Thousands of cultures,
Thousands of languages,
Thousands of customs, traditions, beliefs
Thousands of tribes, families, communities,
All Muslim
You think we’re all the same
You think you know shit about us all
Hey shithead
You don’t know shit
You’re an ignorant assfuck
You’re a fuckin’ racist
and you can shove this racism up your ass
Islamofascists?
I’m no fuckin fascist
You’re the racist
You’re the fascist
Tryin’ to impose your western mentality down my throat
Tellin’ me how to think and how to feel
Warning me how evil my own religion is
Screamin how evil my people are
Hey bitch
We just wanna be left alone
and live our lives in peace
So fuck you
and shove that Islamofascism shit up your ass!

107 Laila Majnu

One Act play written by Sabina England
September 2011

It is often narrated in Indo-Persian folklore that Majnu killed himself after being unable to marry Laila due to her father’s refusal to recognize their love. In another version, Majnu and Laila made a promise to be with each other, but before they could consummate their relationship and solidify their love, Majnu had to journey across the desert to seek fortunes in faraway land for one year so he’d earn enough money to take care of his future bride. While trekking the desert, Majnu encountered Bedouins and was kidnapped and sold into slavery. After 1 year of enslavery, he was finally let go, on charges of kindness by an Arab sheikh during the holiday of Eid-ul-Fitr. Majnu began wandering through the desert to find his way back home. Laila, in the meanwhile, got word from villagers notifying her of Majnu’s return. For many weeks, she waited patiently for his return, often retreating out to the neck of the plateau everyday, waiting for her beloved to appear.

106 Bollywood Vampires, Part 6

TIKKA MASSACRE!

Click on the image below to enlarge the picture.

Don't you ladies just hate it when you spend all day in the kitchen, cooking delicious food for your husband and then when he comes home, he doesn't appreciate one damn thing you do for him? And even worse, you dress up in a beautiful silky saree imported from the high street in Mumbai or Calcutta, so you can look nice for your jaan. Some jaan he is -- what a jerk!

105 Family Honor

For all my brown sisters out there who suffer from some nasty effects of the patriarchy, whether it be some stupid shit or something serious. Pleaze note that the concept of 'family honor' has nothing to do with girls being abused, beaten, or killed, like the idiotic white western media claims. 'Family Honor' is about the old-fashioned sexist idea of being a 'proper' South Asian female.

FAMILY HONOR
written by Sabina England

Family honor,
Gotta uphold the shiny image of my family,
Put on fake smiles & wear beautiful sarees,
We so happy, so grand, so fake,
Gotta stay humble ‘n’ bring no shame to the fam,
Or else they gonna blame me for makin everyone look bad.

Family honor
Bullshit!
It’s a sham game,
Keep the sisters down
Silence us & crush our souls,
Mold us into obedient robots,
So we can’t revolt ‘n’ smash the system
Destroy Patriarchy
Destroy Destroy Destroy
Patriarchy

Family honor, gotta stay pure for the fam or else bring shame to the fam,
Bullshit, what a sham
Ive done nothing wrong,
I’m who I am,
You made me the way I am,
This is me, accept me or fuck off,
This is me, accept me or fuck off,
This is me, accept me or fuck off!

U stirred up Kali in me,
My eyez filled with fire, my soul full of anger, my body trembling,
I’m ready for the battlefield, all eyez on me,
I’m tall ‘n’ strong ‘n’ proud,
Sorry Baba, I ain’t backin down, I won’t be quiet or sweet,
U want me to uphold the family honor but u don’t care about me,
Reputation, Represent, it’s all a game ‘n’ I don’t wanna play,
I ain’t a fraud, I’m no fakeass,
This is me, I’m a rebel, I’m a lover, I’m a fighter,
I’m a woman, I’m a lioness, I’m a thinker,
I am Kali, this is my jihad and Imma fight,
Sorry Baba, I don’t care about no family honor bullshit

Ive done nothing wrong, don’t blame shit on me
It’s all a fuckin ploy to keep the sisters down and crush our souls,
Keep the patriarchy alive, uphold the family, blame the gurls
Revolt and smash the system
Destroy Patriarchy
Destroy Destroy Destroy
Patriarchy!

Family honor, what bullshit!
What I do is on me and not on the family,
I’m an individual, I live my life, I follow my dreamz,
What I do has nothing to do with my fam,
I don’t play the game so don’t fuckin blame me.
This is me and I aint gonna change
This is me and I aint gonna change,
Accept me or fuck off
Accept me or fuck off,
Accept me or fuck off!

Family honor, what bullshit,
It’s a sham game,
It’s a fuckin ploy to keep the sisters down
So we can’t revolt ‘n’ smash the system
Destroy Patriarchy
Destroy Destroy Destroy
Patriarchy
Destroy and kill!

Family honor?
Hey family!
See this honor?
Shove this up yours!
