Dear
Mr. Sina:
I want you to know that I admire your courage and knowledge about Islam. I
agree with everything you say about this Religion. It has proved itself
over and over that it is nothing but a violent Faith that traps people by
force in its domain, with the only way out is total rejection from Family
and the community and even Death will be the ultimate price paid for the
deserter ( MURTTADD).
My sincere apology to these people that are blinded and kept in this awful
trap, and I do my share in trying to open my Muslim friends eyes to the
truth to the extent that sometimes a seed is planted and on the other hand
another friend is lost branding my efforts with blasphemy against his
faith.
All that in place, I am very surprised that your attack on Christianity
calling
Holy Scripture "mumbo jumbo" and your the one that is promoting
all the virtues of Christianity with labeling as such. You want people to
love,respect,forgive,help,be tolerant of other people, peaceful etc....all
that and then some is what the Holy Bible preaches, these are the
commandments of our lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
You talk about "Morality" as if your Atheist god has invented
it. Who laid down the law that the whole world abides by even the secular
courts? The definition of morality that you preach is taken almost in its
entirety from the Bible and even sometimes you quote our Lord and Savior.
You are preaching Christianity without a label. The whosoever power you
prescribe for in your ideology is manifested in Jesus Christ.
It is true that you have seen the light about Islam, but you are still on
the same destination on a different ship. The Bible says" Every knee
that is in Heaven, on earth and beneath will kneel before Jesus
Christ." At that point, nobody has a choice but kneel to the Author
of life.
You may criticize Christianity (priests, preachers, crusade wars etc.. )
and my response to you is that the "Christian Dogma " never
teaches any of that, it is Man that is imperfect in implementing and
living God's Will. We have the free choice in accepting God or Not.
God is very compassionate and loving and wants every person to come to
the knowledge of His Truth. He did not create us as Robots that we do
exactly as He says (He could have done that!) but out of His great
love and Wisdom, He gives us the full freedom to accept or reject Him. It
is the same with your own children (if you have any) you never force them
into doing things, you teach them the right way and continue with love
raising them the right way. You want them to know the truth in every
manner possible.
Mr. Sina, You cannot attack Christianity and preach it as well. There is
in no way shape or form Christianity can be compared to Islam. Islam is
man made but Christianity is from above.
I hope the same way you researched Islam, you will give the same
opportunity to Holy Scriptures and the Holy Saints of the Church.
If you need any material please let me know.
Sincerely,
George
Dear George,
Thank you for your encouraging email and your
kind words. No I do not preach Christianity. I “preach” (if this is
what you want to call it) commonsense. It’s not just you, I receive
comments from Hindus who say that the essence of what I preach is in
Hinduism, Jews, Buddhists, Bahai’s and even someone from Transcendental
Meditation cult wrote to say what I say is part of their religion. The
reason is that what I preach is commonsense; is ancient values. It does
not belong to any religion or cult. It is the patrimony of humanity. We
all agree on that. We all believe in it. Even Muslims who follow a
religion of hate agree with the message of peace and oneness of human kind
when they do not think as a Muslim.
My question is if we all agree that we should
love each other and be like unto refreshing water to one another why we
hate each other and burn one another like flames of fire? Why are we
divided in so many religions, sects and cults?
Why so much estrangement? Why we have built tall walls of distrust
between ourselves?
My friend, what you claim to be Christian is not
Christian at all. It is Human. You take for granted that Christianity has
divine origin and therefore assume that all these good things thought in
Christianity must have come from a god. But that is not the case at all.
Christianity is also manmade. People in all ages and all parts of the
world knew that love is better than hate, that forgiveness is better than
vengeance, that compassion is better than ruthlessness, etc. It is natural
that when they made their religions they attributed all these good things
to their religions. But the very fact that in all religions there are also
many evil teachings that cause intolerance towards people who do not
believe in those religions, that promote disunity, that are discriminating
towards women prove that these religions are not from God. They are
manmade and since man is fallible religions are also full of flaws.
You exhort me to research Christianity as I did
with Islam. I did that. I studied the Bible from cover to cover after I
read the Quran. I can dismantle Christianity with the same ease as I
dismantle Islam. I found the Old Testament is full of violence and the New
Testament filled with nonsense. This book is an insult to human
intelligence. But I do not wish to waste my time writing about the jumbo
mumbo of the Bible. Partly because this task has been already accomplished
by others. Here is just one site that I find quite informative. http://members.aol.com/ckbloomfld/index.html I
challenge you to read few pages of this site to see why I say Bible is
nothing but a book of mumbo jumbo.
Anyway, I am not against falsehood. Humanity has
lived with false beliefs for millennia and it can keep living with them
even now. What is evil in these religions is hate. All these religions are
discriminatory. All of them preach disunity. They make you feel as if you
are superior to those who do not believe in the nonsense that you believe.
Still I am not trying to take your spurious religion away from you.
Obviously you get some benefit from it and that is why you cling to it.
Religion is often compared to a crutch, I am not going to take away that
crutch from those who cannot walk on their own and need the religion to
lean on. There are many people who need someone telling them not to steal,
not to do evil, not to commit crimes, be good with your fellow human
being, do not covet the wife of your neighbor, etc. These are the people
who need the heavy hand of authority or they will go astray. These people
need religion and I will not take the religion away from them. But please
understand that there are also people who know how to conduct a moral and
ethical life, who can love humanity, who can be honest and truthful on
their own. These people follow their inner compass. They follow the Golden
Rule. They would not do to others what they do not wish done to them.
These people do not need an external authority to tell them what is right
and what is not. They are mature enough to do the right thing because they
themselves are now that authority.
I am against Islam because Islam tells its
followers to kill those who do not believe in it. I fight against this
cult not because it is false but because it is evil. Islam is destructive
to peace. Islam is a danger to humanity. Islam must go if humanity has to
survive.
You and I have no time to sit and talk about who
is right and who is not. If you want to believe that Jesus walked over the
waters or he raised from the death or God created Adam and Eve as it is
described in the Bible, if a Hindu wants to believe that a cow is sacred
or a Jews believes that Moses parted the Red Sea that is none of my
business. If these beliefs make you happier, all power to you.
I am not here to make every wrong belief right. I am not the
champion of truth. I am a soldier of love. Truth to me is secondary. Love
is my main motivation. And please don’t tell me love is also baptized as
a Christian.
Today we have very little time on our hands.
Today a dark cloud of hate is building up in the skies of the Islamic
world. Humanity is in danger. Millions, if not billions of lives could be
lost: all for a religion of madness. You are a Christian; I am a
non-theist, and others who believe in myriads of faiths. We do not agree
with each other. We do not see eye to eye on many issues. But today we
have to join hands and become united because today we have one common
enemy. That enemy is Islam. You and I and the rest of the humanity with
their diverse and often absurd beliefs can tolerate each other and live in
peace despite the differences in our creeds. But Islam is poised to
destroy our world and kill, subdue and enslave all of us. This danger is
now looming.
My friend, there is a time for everything. There
is also a time to preach your religion and promote your god. But today we
do not have time for that. It does not matter who is right and who is
wrong when millions of lives are in imminent danger.
Please my fellow human being; stop preaching your
religion for a while. Join my cause and let us destroy Islam together.
When the danger is passed, when Islam is slain, you can resume preaching
your faith in peace. I will not convert to your religion but as long as
you preach love, I wish you success.
Kind Regards
Ali Sina
