there is no best injustice

Dear Junaid Bhura

I would never suggest that if one feels wronged that they should live with it. You are a person of this world and entitled to the same respect as any other individual. Do not allow your self to be consumed by REacting to what others perceive.

Many of these people (westerners) talking harshly about Islam would be the first to have you in their home, share their food with you, and keep you safe from danger. These people are REacting because they understand that the innate nature of Islam is authoritarian and dictatorial and counter to the basic principle of a free society. Primarily the rights of the individual over the State. Also Islamic republics have very poor track records when it comes to respecting any diversity of opinion.

That dictatorship certainly is not something we want to manifest as du jour with in society. And because we believe so strongly in democracy and individual freedom we are not content to have such a form of religious dictatorship be exported around the world as a form of government. If we are ever as a global people going to defeat war and disease and hunger and unemployment and the multitude of issues facing mankind we will require first a consensus of governing. The world is mostly democratic and those few countries holding to their dictatorships need to come on board for the world to make the next step to resolving the worlds issues.

Cheers
