    I do not claim to be a teacher nor a person learned in various religious
    philosophies. I am a mere messenger with an obligation to convey what my
    spirit has received from God?Allah.

    Many books have been written on various religious beliefs. Most people have
    their own self attained or learned knowledge or deep religious convictions
    on spirituality. There are many spiritual people who know that Allah is the
    rational Purity who/that does not require servitude, ritualistic prayers or
    a forced slavery in order for the soul to be a part of the Purity of Allah
    for eternity.

    ALL religions have the same goal. A Transcendentalist is often a spiritually
    enlightened individual whose ultimate goal is to unite and strengthen
    communities or religious organization. Allah/God is the enlightenment of ALL
    who sincerely seek him/it.

    Project yourself into a scenario whereupon, after your spirit has
    established a communication link with the Spirit of Allah, upon your
    physical demise, all of the data that your spirit has accumulated and stored
    in your soul is transmitted and received by Allah into a spiritual dimension
    which contains any and all of the knowledge and experiences of the universe.
    You are now a part of Allah.

    I have personally experienced my spirit leaving my body and being united
    with the Ultimate Supreme Spirit (Allah/God?). In 1956 when I was 15 years
    old I had double pneumonia and I thought that I would surely die. My father
    took me to a doctor who gave me a penicillin injection and recommended
    immediate hospitalization. We had no medical insurance or money, so my
    father took me home to recuperate. I remember the drive home vividly. Every
    breath was extremely painful and my chest felt as though a great weight was
    upon it. I watched cars and trucks drive by and I wondered how people could
    make long term plans when life was so unpredictable.

    Several nights later it felt as if my spirit left my body and it experienced
    being in a place with a gathering of souls or spirits. I felt the greatest
    peace, tranquility and ecstasy. I felt a rapture that was beyond a person's
    imagination. I felt as if I was a part of ALL, a part of Allah. I was
    mentally communicating and in sync with everyone; Muhammad and many of the
    prophets of the bible and historical people whom I had read about, some of
    my deceased acquaintances and relatives. There was no dominant force, no
    forceful leader. Allah was the entire spiritual community. I somehow knew
    who everyone was. Every thought was interacted with the whole community. I
    had no questions; it seemed as if everything was revealed and crystal clear.
    I saw the universe stretched out before us like a vast expanse with spirits
    engaged in mental interaction like master craftsmen contemplating the
    creation of a new frontier.

    When I told my father who was a preacher of the Lutheran Faith about my
    experience he dismissed it abruptly and told me that this Supreme Spirit,
    this God/Allah that my spirit had witnessed was not the God of the Bible and
    he told me to pray for my salvation. We never talked about it afterwards.

    Since that time I never really gave it much thought until after the New York
    World Trade Center tragedy on 9-11-01. I went into deep meditation. I wanted
    to find an answer as to why/how some misguided individuals could believe
    that their actions would be rewarded with their soul's eternal life with
    Allah. I then had a couple of very similar experiences of my spirit
    communicating with the Ultimate Spirit. (God, Allah or whatever one desires
    to call him/it) On the night of 9-11-01 my spiritual experience was very
    similar to the one that I had 45 years ago at age 15.

    About a week later I had another spiritual experience that was in a
    progression which seemed to last throughout the entire night. My spirit
    observed the entire history and the evolution of the universe and peoples
    varying perceptions of Allah/God, as if in a fast-forward film. By what I
    had experienced, I perceived that I had been given a task by The Spirit of
    Allah to make an attempt to bring common sense to a belief in Allah.

    Some will say that my experience is nothing but a dream or a vivid
    imagination but if you discount everything else, there is still rationality,
    common sense and logic. Religions have originated from an apprehension of
    the unknown after physical death. We do not need to fear death; it is a new
    beginning. The Spirit of Allah has revealed to me that Allah is not that
    petty so as to condemn mankind for their varying beliefs.

    The messenger is of no significance, it is the message that needs to be
    taken into account and judged for its merits. I believe that I have
    personally experienced a oneness with The Spirit of Allah and as surely as I
    know that Allah exists, I know that my soul will be with Allah.

    Much of what I have written here and in my book is what my spirit has
    experienced and can be accepted or totally rejected by anyone if they so
    desire. Let us hope that man will eventually progress intellectually and
    evolve to a point whereby he can socialize with totally eliminated
    tendencies for barbarianism and without a fear of punishment from Allah;
    this would true enlightenment.

    By pointing out a flaw and reason for terrorism and violence in the name of
    religion, my only intent is to make people aware of the futility and
    intellectual gullibility of societies which have not progressed their
    beliefs since the Middle Ages. The main purpose of my book (all profits are
    donated to charities) is to have open-minded people peruse my writings and
    offer feedback on how our religious beliefs can to be brought into the 21st
    Century.

    A Muppet answer indeed.

    And your point is?

    How can we change Muslim religious ideology to stop terrorism?

    A fanatic passion to please God has been demonstrated throughout the Ages. We have seen vast destruction and useless killings by religious zealots that have followed us into the present century whereby even technology is unable to quell its tide. Muslims have been led to believe that they must expand Islam in order to please Allah/God. Since Judaism created God, it is the duty of Judaism, the originator to bring rationality to a belief in Allah/God if Israel and Judaism wants to live in peace with Muslims.

    If all the events that occurred as written in the Torah now, today, would humanity be as gullible now and accept all miracles and God as portrayed then? If the context entails incorrect exegeses and the vast tradition of hermeneutics and the translation is illogical, it is illogical whether it is by my interpretation or by any logic.

    Mankind has progressed past a need for a God who desires and requires servitude. We can eliminate servitude and still have a closeness and love of God. It was man who placed restrictions on himself for the good of mankind and attributed this to God. Most of us now live in a lawful society. Now laws are proposed and enforced by governments. God does not, and never has meddled in our affairs.

    If we take rationality completely out of context when establishing an association with present day problems between Jews, Christians and Muslims, we can come up with numerous solutions. Reality however dictates that if there were no distinctions between Muslims, Jews, and Christians, strife would be nonexistent. The major distinction is religion

    The best weapon against irrationality is logic. If logic is implemented in religion, eventually the inference of reasoning has to predominate and the illogical will be considered inferior and will ridicule itself out of existence. Today we have at our disposal the means whereby the media can reach even the farthest corners of our world.

    True logic is the science of inference and reasoning

    Theres nothing stopping you starting a thread in Humanities about legitimate protest and how it is best effected.

    Regarding this poster ... my eyes glazed over after two paragraphs.

    Hello?

    He doesn't seem to be explicitly advertising anything, though. at least not in the conventional sense.

    Personally, I'd like him to elaborate further on his experience of seeing the complete history of the world. How fascinating!

    My verdict? Pre-formatted lengthly spam, with no reason for debate. You wanna talk about your direct connection to Allah, God, Krusty the Clown? Get a blog.

    Locked. Oh and Admins are pussies.
