Noël Coward famously sang ‘Don’t Let’s be Beastly to the Germans!’ As always, the dour and humorless were not impressed.
Yeah, Daily Mail link… I know! How things change in a few decades!
You will see the analogy to modern times where people are not content to say Islam ‘is not monolithic’ (which is actually a fair point), and go so far as to insinuate that Political Islamism is also not monolithic, or that Islamists have ‘legitimate grievances.’
You know what else isn’t monolithic, other than Political Islamism?
…
Nazism! (Just ask good old Ernie Röhm!)
Or how about the Gulags and Stalinist Show Trials?
Hm! Looks like Soviet ideology wasn’t monolithic either. If ‘demonizing’ all those ‘moderate’ political Islamists is a bad thing, it’s a pity Paul Scham wasn’t around back then to put everyone ‘right…’ 😉
By the way, all the moderate political Islamist gangs (including the Muslim Brotherhood, the Moderate Taliban, Moderate Daesh, and the Moderate Scientology Community People’s Temple of Raqqah) hate music. So let’s shove it to them as we like it!
For, as the wily old mummering book-worshipper Ibn Taymiyyah once said:
Music is the alcohol of the soul!
So, let’s all get plastered. And let the shraps fall where they may!

Don’t let’s be beastly to the Islamists
Just because they said that God is one,
It’s only non-moderate Islamists
Who are blowing themselves to pieces
And after all, they’re nice to Moses
Abraham and even Jesus!
Let’s be tolerant to them
And make our knees go bent for them,
And respect how Lord Khomeini forbids them fun.
Niqab rape culture? Parity
Our cash? More dodgy charities
But don’t let’s be beastly to the scum!
We must be pious,
And without a hint of lying Zionist bias
We must endeavour one and all to silence gays
To let the Islamists know that, when their jihad is over
Our children, not the choppers, have to pay
Dear, no! We must not beat
Nor strangle them with sheets,
Nor should Egypt’s prisons feed them haram meat
We must give them concert benefits
Not tell them that they’re full of shit
That we’ll harangue them, then we’ll hang them
No! Sell ‘em Yazidis, they must bang them!
Don’t let’s be beastly to the Islamists
They’re only having a bit of fanny fun.
Let us treat them very gently
As we would a valued ally:
Our GOP neocons will send them megaphones
For their hopey-changey rallys!
Let’s be nice to them,
And scrape the bastard lice from them
And say ‘beheading simply isn’t done.’
Let’s arm the filthy ratty men
And take back our Levant again,
But don’t let’s be un-PC to the scum!
A few of us must be dynamic
Without a hint of moral panic
And make the world turn bright before their eyes
We must croon their vassals nicely
‘My boy, remember, we judge rightly!’
And let the moderates napalm as they please!
For many, many aeons
They’ve been weeping over Zion
Because the poor jihad community
Lack privileged diplomatic immunity
And only strove
To save the world,
To shave the world,
And behead the world to mincemeat;
And that’s the time we ought to drop a helpful drumbeat!
Don’t let’s be unpleasant to the Islamists,
For you can’t deprive a chopper of his ax!
Though they’ve been a little nasty
To the Turks, Egyptians, and Iraqis
I don’t suppose those sheeple
Have the wit nor reason to object!
Let’s be PC with them
As the BBC makes free with them
We mustn’t prevent them stoning all their gays.
Let’s gently hum sweet nothings, love
Give freedom one more push and shove
But don’t let’s be fearful of the scum!
Don’t let’s be uncivil to the Islamists
When their petty Caliphate already has begun.
Send them Soviet/Saudi-style munitions
And secret military nutrition,
For the purely moderate Islamists
Are quite a joy with nuclear fission!
Let us wield our arts with them
Be loyal ‘People of the Book’ to them,
It’s mere toxic masculinity, blame the age!
Let’s fill them full of rage again,
And hope they act like manly men ,
But do let’s all surrender to the scum!
