Once upon a time:
An Islamist decided to run for political office
He won! … They said, “Only because of his religious platform & hollow slogans.”
He lost … They said, “What did he expect? Religion and politics do not mix!”
He Boycotted the election race … They said, “Look how negative he is!”
His party won third of the electorate seats … They said, “Of course, he wants to veto all the bills”
His party won only minority seats … They said, “Look at him, that’s his true size!”
He won a unanimous victory … They said, “He has been eyeing a mandate to make it a theocracy!”
He let his beard grow … They said, “He’s all-rituals but no substance for piety”
He shaved his beard … They said, “Hypocrite!”
He sued them for libel … They said “He is abusing the judiciary to assail free speech.
He lost control and heaped them with verbal abuse … They said, “Look how degenerate he is!”
He abandoned them and retreated to meditative seclusion … they said, “Look how melancholic he is!”
He took to meditative reading of the Quran … They said, “Witchcraft!”
He prayed “Suffice I am in God’s Protection and his is the pinnacle of Agency… They said, “Black-magic!”
He sprang to head for work … They said, “Greedy for the booties of life!”
He took to Tahrir Square … They said, “He is just riding the revolutionary parade!”
He abandoned Tahrir Square … They said, “He’s Betrayed the revolution!”
He gave up and threw the towel … They said, “He skipped town after he had ruined it!”
He took to flight from Earth and headed for Mars … They said, “He is brain-washing Martian simpletons with his voodoo!”
He gave up and committed suicide… They said, “Son of a kaffir-mother killed himself!”
