Colonizing Shakespeare: History's Greatest English Short-Poems Rewritten Through A Muslim Lens

by Deen Farooq

This is war. Do not let the subtle prose and rhyme fool you, they colonized the world, tore us up and spat us back into sniveling generations of infighting and border mongering. We must rise. Colonize their treasured work, make them our own, make them better, and fight back. Colonizing Shakespeare lays bare the greatest short-poems of English history side-by-side against a reinterpretation through a Muslim lens. Easy to follow for readers of all backgrounds and ages, yet intricately worked for the prose, style, and structure aficionado or student of poetry. It includes footnotes for the reader's benefit on Islamic content. This work is split into five sections, each with a different poetic theme-Jihad, Politics, Love, Family, and Choices. This work contains poetry from William Blake, Lord Byron, Rudyard Kipling, Wilfred Owen, T.S. Eliot, Alfred Tennyson, A.E. Housman, and of course William Shakespeare.
