I went looking for more references, and this one to Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev has the words duck and noose in it:

link

"The story tells of how young Peter ventures into a meadow (which his grandfather has made off-limits to him) and together with his animal friends (a bird, a cat and a duck) catches a wolf. He hands [the] captured wolf over to some hunters, and then all the characters of the story come together in the finale, where the wolf is taken to the zoo in a triumphant procession..."

"By now, Peter had made a noose with his rope, and very carefully he lowered it down. He slipped the noose over the wolf’s tail, and pulled it tight.

:The wolf, realising that he had been caught, leapt about furiously, trying to tear himself free.

"But Peter had tied the end of the rope to the tree. And each leap of the wolf only drew the noose tighter and tighter around his tail...

Above them all flew the little bird, chirping merrily, ‘See how clever we are, Peter and I. See what we have caught!’

"And if you listened very, very carefully, you could hear the duck, still quacking inside the wolf. For the wolf had been in such a hurry that he had swallowed her alive."

We're the wolf, I suppose, and islam is the duck which we are taking in whole, into our country.

Naw, I think the police are the rabbit and the shooter is the duck.He's telling his buddies that he is flying away because the police almost got him.

Hoping!
