Again to Mr. Muslim

Sir, when there is truth there is no need for fighting. When everyone agrees to allow each to find G-D, Allah according to his or her own lights then and only then will there be truth in our world. It is not my business to tell you what your relationship with the HIGH ONE is or should be and neither is it yours to tell me such a thing. Each of us must find his or her own way to the Holy Mountain. There can be no one way that serves all because all are not the same. Each one of us is an individual and that individuality must be respected.

When men try to create systems of belief they create only horror. For me to force you to see as I do and do as I do would be the greatest of violations of your person and that in my mind is against G-Ds laws. Though we might share perceptions in common still your own perceptions are unique to you alone. We can both look at the same thing but each one of us has a different point of view that cannot be changed or reconciled. Both views are correct within the context of the individuals perspective and one view does not cancel the validity of the other.

Our only enemy is the darkness of ignorance and superstition, fear and mistrust, unreasonable hatred and misrepresentation.
