You should send a copy of "Waiting for Allah" to the Persian Journal?
Here's another analysis & objectivity lesson from their publication/website , though Islam should in no way be singled out, it is the pitfall of religion vs myth and fact that get inexorably intertwined with tales so enhanced for mass consumption & dellusion... and turning fanatics into martyrs and villains into saints, and lead people to revisit constantly flaming old hatreds ad infinitum.
"Islam, a Dangerous Political Ideology "
iranian.ws
It is so excruciatingly laughable that we are still stuck today with the business of suspicious derision , and name calling and war ...of Islamists accusing Christians of Crusading and yet Islam
forgetting their own glorious infamies of the same kind .
Each has walled itself in with the inevitable irrationalities , obsessions that accompany enforced belief without regard for objective reality . But things are changing fast, and each has much to learn from the other , and generations to come mingle commune and coexist.
God certainly must be crying eternal tears for his well-meaning children , to see all this corruption & turmoil over what is holy and originally true & inspired and borne out of original vision & essence of universal charity .....that maybe a Buddha saw simply or a Christ saw clearly ..or what inspired Mohammed under a crescent moon out alone in the desert , each in their respective places in time.
But we all were shaped originally out of the forces of nature and the seat of knowledge and growth has at its foundations the bare instincts of survival and neccessity at its foundation . How noble the stories of man , attempting to make sense & shape his life out of the chaos that has surrounded and enveloped him in the womb of time.....coming from out of an experience that is equal to 1 million times the life of a Methusela...and no Holy Book could even dare to begin to tell the tale or even depict one thousandth the whole truth of it.
And yet caught up in all this , we miss most of the gist of it , Life the great experience.
" Oh love , could thou and i conspire
to grasp this sorry scheme of things entire
would we not shatter it to bits
and remould it nearer the heart's desire..."
