Notes	The speaker of the poem describes the ideology and activities of a terrorist whose religious ideology is apparently deeply connected to his warmongering (which includes bombings, battles, and ethnic cleansing of other races). Interestingly, the speaker of the poem does not specify who exactly this terrorist is, or what he represents. Therefore, the poem could equally refer to the activities of governments and state armies as well as those of insurgent and rebel groups. See also the poem 'Terrorist' by Helen Soraghan Dwyer and the translation 'Sceimhlitheoir' by Bernadette Nic an tSaoir.
