There is always hope, there is always God...and there is always you. The projected future serves more as a plan for self gain...at least in mainstream media.

I emailed myself just to construct a proper arguement, and the email was entitled....cleric demonized.

Religion is a lot of interpretation I think, the book might say this or that...and might have not always said this or that...whatever. I don't doubt that a certain interpretation is spelled out very clearly. I'm not particularly religious, and I admire your will to spell things out to people who are asking the question...people are probably wondering, what's the book really say? What are there, one to two billion who claim islam...or apparently, have it claimed for them. A nice convenient mix of religion and state huh? ...Not any different from the situation of US citizens.

I do feel sorry for those being controlled by laws, everybody is really....even those who claim to be above the law, self proclaimed dictator George Bush for example... is naturally governed by certain laws. I claim allegiance to no laws except my own...I may even make them as I go, as you say we are all probably "guilty" of this. I am, however, affected by the laws, because others follow them and seem to believe in a reason to follow them. I suppose you are just pointing out what the book actually says to those who claim to follow it, but I doubt that many are reading into their own book very closely....and more likely, they are just reading into the mainstream news.

I just wanted to say that I don't encourage anyone reading too deeply into the Islam/ dark side paradigm...it takes away from considering the possibility of your own family handing you over to authorities for believing in yourself. Why people have to control the free will of the rest of the people...I can't say that I would be able to answer that either, but that question hasn't made me a big believer in anything in particular. I keep looking for answers and keep finding them. I can guarantee though... any mainstream news you see has some kind of agenda behind it, and is far from being able to accurately portray reality or Truth.

Perhaps many of the Islamic people are taking this very interpretation as their own, word for word. At least most of them are somewhat in between right now though, at a time when people seem to be joining sides. There are afterall, over a billion who claim islam? If they were really united on this death to non believers thing, we would be in much more dire of an emergency than we are at this time. I can only remind you that the islamic cleric himself had to feel as though he was being attacked...that is the mainstream agenda in times of war, ATTACK!!!! Who is doing the attacking??
