Reply To Truth TellerReader comment on item: [Brandon Mayfield and] Preempt Terrorists, Or Not? Submitted by Seamus MacNemi (United States), Oct 6, 2007 at 02:15 It is very clear to my mind and my experience that it is today Islam who takes up the garb of oppressor in our world. If that was not so there would be no jihad in our world. If each man was truly free to pursue G-D according to his own lights and understandings as is proper there would and should be no need for conversions of any sort. The whole idea of "Conversion" is a farce. It is a meaningless political ploy made simply to satisfy the egos of those who would wield power. It is a practice meant to demean the individual and rob him of his soul so that he becomes the willing servant of his masters whoso ever they might be. The convert is worse than the dhimi because he does not even realize that he is a slave and that he has willingly sold his soul to the devil. We would not be the slaves of Rome. Why should we be the slaves of Mecca? You foolishly presume yourself the legitimate rulers of our world. Who elected you to rule over us? Why should we bow down to you? Is it that you are so much more pious than we? And what,.pray tell, makes you think that? Is that what your Imam told you? HA,- you make me laugh. You are a real joke. Generation after generation we have fought to gain our freedom from tyrants and dictators, priests and Imams, Kings and Pharoes. Do you really think that we would willingly put back upon our necks the yoke of servitude to mere mortals? No man is G-D and no man can claim to be HIS sole representative upon the earth for the spirit of G-D dwells within the heart of every man equally . You are in no position to lecture us about G-D or to give us lessons in morality. You don't even know us or anything of our history. You are an ignorant foreigner who presumptuously comes to our land and piously assumes yourself to be so superior to us and our ways. We can have nothing but contempt for you and your ways. May the G-D of heaven have mercy upon your soul. I certainly cannot help you. One day prehaps the light will dawn in your mind and you will no longer feel the need to go about converting the world. Then you will be truly living in the light of G-D. I pray that day to come swiftly. The only place you will ever see an unbeliever is when you look in a mirror.
