i like the sheikh and i think he is really smart but what a waste of gray matter.  spiritual matters are not physical matters.there are equivalents.  there are types and shadows.  there are parables and allegories.  but just like some of the really smart christians i know (of or about), i dont think the sheikh is tapped in to the creator.  i dont thing jehovah or yaweh or whatever is the equivalent of allah.  i think all three religions are false, becaue the characters that are put into those roles are not the real deal.

i am more familiar with judaism than islam so i will use them as a general example.  the israelites int he wilderness made a golden calf of their loot from egypt and called that baal, a word meaning lord or husband.  they said behold, this is the lord that brought us out of egypt.  they werent confused.  they did not have faith and only believed their eyes.  i'll copy/pasta the passage at the end here.  that calf just magically came out of the molten gold!  lolol  sounds like any other religious hokus pokus, just like christians blame anything "good" on jesus and anything bad on the devil.  and they should know about devils, they are full enough of them.

so these are genuine people and they are genuinely wrong.  they think they can pick and choose their religion.  there is no such thing.  there is only the truth and the the lies used to obscure it.  the truth is there are many gods.  our god.  our creator.  he wants us to be sons and daughters.  he placed a description of how this can happen in our hands.  his first son is complete.  all we have to do is follow him.  none of the rest of this matters in comparison. 

also, the sheikh falls for the fortuneteller aspect of judeoislamichristianity.  this is the kind of thing that evil men use to lead people around byt he nose.  and they do, with the skill of a ninja.

 Exodus 32 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

32 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the Lord. 6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

7 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 8 they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 9 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 10 now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. 11 And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 14 And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. 16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. 17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.

19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. 20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it. 21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? 22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief. 23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
