My
intentions aren’t to antagonize and if thoughts and ideas do that, it ought not
to be necessary to apologize. Ishmael
got a bum rap and the Arab people have been behind the eight ball for their
entire existence despite few intervals of achievement. Are they to blame for being cut out of the
Warrior God Yahweh’s covenant with Abraham and Isaac? Do you sometimes wonder if the Genesis story
was simply a case of one tribe having better scribes?
A true
source of divinity wouldn’t have made such a choice if the source knew the
consequences would lead to thousands of years of dissent and war.
One could
almost see why the Arabs on the peninsula questioned the canonicity of the
‘book’ since the covenant and later Paul’s affirmation of the covenant left
them high and dry, no pun intended, with paganism. Seriously, where are the Arab people in the
New Testament?
And still you
have to wonder if the true source of divinity saw its effects of choosing one
tribe over another and gave humanity’s last revelation five centuries after
Jesus to Mohammed because a cosmically colossal oops was committed.
God doesn’t
make mistakes, dude, you’re losing it, yeah I’ve been saying it a long time,
and found folks like Elie Wiesel who think the same. Religion is flawed because of an error in
transmission and therefore so is mankind.
So what do
we do now? Islam, Judaism, Christianity,
they think they’ve cornered the truth.
Will Islam’s battles eventually pass and become tolerant of itself, like
the Catholics and Protestants?
Christianity was lucky to finally connect with democracy via an
enlightement, could the same be said of Islam in the Middle East?
And what
about violence as a means to any end?
The Sudanese woman who refused to renounce her faith, a draconian
response to an individual’s right to choose her belief. Islam wants to kill those who don’t believe
the same as them? What sura says that? How can one verse be interpreted like this?
Who wants to be told how to live and then be threatened with death if one
doesn’t? No God condones death.
And you have
to wonder how the Spanish Inquisition would have played out on CNN and Youtube.

If I don’t
get on this plane Thursday I would like to join the students in Hong Kong and
protest the meddling of the Beijing bullies.
By not allowing the people to choose their own candidates to vote for,
the commies demonstrate their complete lack of faith in the people. Do you know what’s in my best interest,
wanker Wu? They’re reinterpreting the
meaning of ‘universal suffrage’ and they blow smoke blaming foreign influences
and the protesters for not following the rule of law. Well if you wrote the rule of law it’s time
to rewrite it.
Syria’s
foreign minister is going to speak at the UNGA.
People in complete denial are so hard to listen to. Meanwhile why would I not be permitted on
this Thursday flight? I booked the
flight on line and a bank withdrawal from the airline hasn’t happened. The
airline website has confirmed my flight, twice and that’s why I go. Is there a sign here I need to understand?
The man
speaks. What is your priority? We’ve stopped waiting for the international
community to help us. What? Should they have taken your failed leader
out? Deflect your dysfunction with the
extremists. Oh yeah, ISIS is bad and
makes you look cherubic. Sure let’s
stand as one now to fight the enemy.
Come on admit you’re the cancer here.
Please let us cut it out.
It’s hard to
believe anything this man says. Who’s
supporting ISIS? Name names, not naming
Saudi or Iran (?) belies what’s left of your government’s integrity. He doesn’t see anything wrong with his
country’s murderous methods. Come on,
five million of your own have left the nation.
Come on, reiterate this, clown, request airstrikes on your capital, it
can’t be worse if a new government rises from the ancient rubble.
The Free
Syrian Army is managed by its Western masters.
What do the masters want in Syria?
Something more than peace, perhaps?
Am I just a little too naïve here?
You should not be allowed to use the word terrorism, stop saying
it. You guys wrote the biggest chapter
in the book, thank God Lebanon kicked you out.
The will of the Syrians aren’t in your country anymore, dope. The will of Syrians did not vote for Assad
again, fraud, you don’t speak for the Syrian people. Who is this guy, is there anyone in that
assembly, wait, I see a lot of empty chairs, is there anyone who is taking this
seriously?
Sharia for
Belguim, thousands of Moroccans fighting in Syria. Well, do I have to say it again,a new
interpretation of an ancient revelation must be the beginning point to
change. It doesn’t have anything to do
with democracy. So why would any
moderate refuse to look at reinterpreting sharia for a 21st century
civilization? It’s the spirit of the
law, shabob, not the letter of the law.
Forty years
after John Nash discovered his original thought he was awarded the Pulitzer for
it. In his acceptance speech he found the
logic in the mysterious equations of love.
If I ever find my original thought there won’t be any love in the
equation.
Iran is a
greater threat than ISIS? An indivisible
militant Islam spreads and more will eventually accept it. Netanyahu may have a
point there, the legitimacy of a government in the Middle East is established
when one demonstrates strength instead of common sense, and when strength
weakens loyalty fizzles. Why? Because
Muslims aren’t taught, nor encouraged, to question authority in the mosques and
yagotta wonder sometimes they act like Catholics a thousand years ago.
Seriously,
where’s your Luther? Hamas is a threat
to Israel, ISIS is a threat to everyone, Iran is the worst of them all. Israel are you stretching a general
truth? C’mon, if Iran has a nuclear
weapon do you really think they’d launch it at your cities before you
obliterated their millions? Shanti
Shanti.
Success is
showing up at the right time.

Beijing the
evil empire. There is no genuine
election when it’s rigged. Shameless
atheists, here it is put an atheist in power and you got Beijing.
For a month
I planned this trip and in five minutes it went poof. I feel bad I wasted so much time looking at
how I was going to spend nine days as a pilgrim and a tourist. What happened?
I thought I
could skip a day of work and today my boss asked me to be at the new teacher
orientation Thursday morning. My flight
was Thursday morning. I don’t know what
it is, my conscience, skipping out felt wrong when I booked the ticket thirty
days ago, I worried about doing it yet I told myself it was alright, shoot, I’m
surrounded by people who don’t even show up or do for ten minutes and then
leave. Why can’t I go a day earlier. Flights on Friday to this island in the
Indian Ocean cost $250 more and yet, while I could afford to pony up I am not
sure of this uneasiness. What to
do. What? Return to Sarangkot? Oy vey.
10.1.14
Faith hope
and love and the greatest of these, you know, is love. And how much of a stretch do I need to
connect love with the horrors of war and disease? You can’t, they’re opposites. You need faith and hope to end evil so that
love will emerge. Perfect love casts out
all fear and everything else tagging along.
Cheeky bastards the Beijing bullies are. Universal Suffrage doesn’t include the right
to nominate candidates and that’s all Hong Kong wants. It is a reasonable
request. Why are the bullies so hungry
for power? Blocking coverage in the
mainland, leaving your people ignorant for fear of revolt. There wouldn’t be a revolt if you were open
and honest. Never never trust an atheist
communist and never trust the Chinese who says he’s Buddhist and looks to the
jolly fellow only for good luck.
