I read the text with the same mixed feelings. One thing, however, struck a cautious note - before I jumped for Elders of Zion etc - and that's the immediate intended audience. The umma and the Prophet were mentioned in every second sentence at least. It looked to me like some kind of borrowed-interest approach to capture the audience - away from the alternative of the virulent, aggressive terrorism, that also tells everybody, God's is on its right and the Prophet on its left-hand side. This hidden fight for minds of 1.3B potential listeners could (and I mean could) also imply the use of "self-evident truths" - whatever the speaker really believes to be the truth[]. btw, I was in ME only once - for a few days in Kuweit. The Friday night transmission from the Great Mosque of Mecca was an eye opener - there's much I did not and dont know - I just assume, but that's the same thing. Applies in my case also to Palestine and a lot of other subjects (why not be self-critical now and then;)... RegZ dj [ - edit] - hypothetical - for facts check Message 19414695
