Many Muslims will say that Mohammad was the perfect example of a human being and will imitate him to the point that they walk and dress like him. Some will even imitate his everyday habits, and some will refuse to eat camel meat because Mohammad didn't like it. That is worshipping him whether...
The message behind the poem is that while we do indeed need to pray for Paris--it also means that, more importantly, we need to understand why the world is in this violent state. No one in their right mind can justify the attacks, but the Paris attacks are a symptom of a much larger disease.
