Children of the Koran
The first publication from Widows Press, a book of poems of recitations from the Koran in dialogue form.
In Part 1: The Recitation of the Glorious Book, devout Muslim father Selim tests his son’s and daughter’s knowledge of Allah’s words in the Koran: how ‘all believers true/Cannot be friends with infidel or Jew’ and how those ‘who fight for God and give their lives shall enter Heaven indeed.
The poems in Part 2: Children of the Koran describe the results of such teachings and the parental grief that comes from the loss of jihadi sons in acts of ‘destruction, war and killing in the name of God’ that followed in the years after the attack on the Twin Towers on 11 September 2001.
