backlash

the ArabSpring proposed to liberate
a free Islam for a new, freer age
beyond the tyrants' politics of hate
 religion full of love, and not of rage
IslamicState sprang up as from the sand
opposed to all hints of modernities
afraid lest wives and daughters understand
their place need not be always on their knees
uneducated men perceived the threat
as work is less about one's strength of arm
smart women won't accept their fates are set
since they can run a business or the farm
mechanization overturned their worlds
contributing to ISIL's war on girls
