Re: My email to Newsweek…
I hold no degree in Christianity nor is it a subject I have studied in depth, but I have read the Bible…Both the St. James and the RSV…
You and Seminole seemed to be hinting at something that happened during the BC and later years…
The Christians had been progressing, as Seminole put it, by coming up with bizarre and weird methods of torture…
All this time, it was the Khilafat which had preserved the peace and tranquility of the Muslims by giving them a sense of direction to take…
If the Inquisition, the wars of greed-driven bloodshed between the empires of England, Portugal, France, Holland and Spain in which thousands died, then the 1st world war, then the II, then the slavery, the Vietnam war, Pol Pot, are not enough to bring you to your senses, then what is? I am missing a million other incidents…
Compared to the devastation brought upon this earth by western ideologies of a false sense of security, which lead to fear, then hatred and ultimately ignorance…This ignorance is draped with lies, deception and smiling anchormen…
Seems that everytime someone has a brilliant idea in the west, millions die…
The Communists decided, “oh look! It works for us…Let’s give it to others…”, millions die…
Then the Nazis with what they thought was right…Again, millions died…
Now, that same ‘works for us’ ideology is at work again…It’s draped in carefully rehearsed words that come out of Dubya’s mouth…It’s called Democracy and it’s sights are now set on Muslim lands, meaning you and me…(By you I mean the reader, not the Qadiyani)…
Muslims take heed of past lessons, and the lessons from Musa :as:, the Children of Israel and the Pharoah guide us well too…
If Osama Bin Laden is a hero to many, who hold him in high regard, then there should be need for afraid to take precautions…Insulting him would only lead to more misunderstandings, and your calling him a pig doesn’t have any desire to wrong a right in it…
Since the initial topic was about Hazrat Eesa :as:, and since you have so much insight into, you might be aware that the leaders of the Jews considered Eesa :as: to be an illegitimate child…
Mr. Meacham himself in one of the articles mentions where in the Bible itself a Jew elders says to him ‘At least we know who our fathers are’…They spread rumors about him and pointed at him when three times being asked by Pontius Pilate ‘what has this man done?’
The elders whispered to the masses, and Eesa :as: became a dead man walking…Sent to death by the same people he had come to as a Prophet to liberate…
So Madhwanee, we Muslims take our time before we get ready to hurl stones at someone…Our religion tells us to consider a lot of things most spiritual before we act…Our actions are not meant and designed to move for greed…We are Muslims…
