Paranoiac

Mr. Chaudry: the extent of your certainty that these products' logos, which resemble the name Allah, are placed there deliberately, is the extent to which you are paranoid. Paranoia is a serious mental illness characterized by an unshakeable conviction; the inablitiy to even entertain the possibility that you could be wrong, is paranoia.

Let me put it into religious terminology: by pretending you can see into the minds of people other than yourself you are arrogating an omniscience that belongs only to God. Thus your letter here is blasphemy.
