A massive loss of life in Algiers
Al Qaeda is suspected, naturally
The usual focus of the media’s
The death toll, of course, but what’s hard to see
Is why they attacked a Muslim country,
And UNHCR which helps their poor.
Maybe they see it more symbolically,
A western branch cut off by Muslim saw.
Or are the causes internal affairs,
One group against another? Could it be
The smouldering embers of civil war?
One thing’s for sure: expect to have your fears
Built up about all Muslims generally.
