Is It Ironic That the "dean of Arabic Literature" is an Atheist?

Taha Hussein wrote : “I had worshiped the Devil” poem :
I thought you are the deceiver and that you guide who you want

Harmful hateful and humiliating for the arrogance of pride

Powerful bass to the people not subtle and cunning

Cut off hands of thieves and stone the bodies of women

you uphold justice by the sword and your justice is by bloodshed

if you are the creator of the killers tell me where is the God of the weak

If you were the creator of all why did you deprive some of them from living

What to reap the murder of non-demolition and yard

Do you worship a butcher that crushes innocent livers?

or I worshiped the devil who send us the seal of the prophets

Calculated the Paradise for the mujahideen where the powerful will live

Dates and grapes and figs and rivers of wine of the pious

Best haven for hungry who lived in the desert

and beds made of a precious ruby stones , and virgins, singing

We are faithful lovers came to fulfill their demands, waiting to obey any command

Praise God our best and see how God’s reward

Is paradise struggle and shout and penetration without flexion (endless sex)

The virgin will be replaced as soon as she loses her virginity

Renewed poplar previously married and you’re a virgin you Balrfa

Did I worship a pimp playing with fools minds

or did I worship the devil who send us the seal of the prophets

Suggestion:

Since when does literature equal religion?????

So they are well versed in Arabic Literature. This has nothing to do with whether or not they believe in god.

I could be a Dean of Modern Literature and not believe that the Harry Potter novels are real.

Why is it ironic?
You don't have to have to be a bloodthirsty jihadist to speak or read Arabic

Arabs practice more than one religion. There is also Arabic poetry written in a classical Arabic which predates Arabic religious writings, some of the most famous Arabic Classical poetry describes things such as storms over the Marib dam.

Congratulations on getting into a college which has proper faculties, departments of language and literature etc.

Taha Hussein had a big head as "Dean of Arabic Literature"
It made him to claim finding grammatical mistakes in Qur'an, he was blinded since birth so nobody cared for him.

I'm not sure about the poem if he is the one who wrote it or not, but history says that many people noticed his mind turning off in his late-life.

Not at all.

Usually, the dean of classical studies doesn't worship Greek gods either.
