But you are absolutely correct, Islam is a violent political system in religious garb. mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7766273935038042110.post-58806836791025295522014-10-31T14:59:38.538-05:002014-10-31T14:59:38.538-05:00Jamie NZJamie NZJamienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7766273935038042110.post-62815383957219105822014-10-31T14:55:36.146-05:002014-10-31T14:55:36.146-05:00Scene from Tombstone...

Most of Islam remains at war with those considered infidels. This is what we need to face.</i><br /><br />Truth hurts. Ignoring truth hurts more.<br /><br />I'm reading "Schuon for Dummies" -or somethng like that, and the author insists that Islam is one of the great religions, equal to Christianity. The gist of the book is to learn the esoteric Truth behind the exoteric forms. The exoteric forms being the 5 major religions. But you need to dive into one of the religions deeply in order to pop out the other side.<br /><br />Anyhow, yes, I agree there are Islamists who have transcended Islam. But, in general, it is not but a violent political system dressed up as a religion.<br /><br />To be fair, the author said most people can't get past the "our religion is the true religion mentality" but I suppose I'll forgive him for that. Bless his heart.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />John Lienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302615225311776021noreply@blogger.com
