[Tariqas] More On Dr Wafa Sultan

[Tanzen Two-feather]

Hello, Amany, and all here and there!

It's all a sign of the times... every religion is going through 
examination, by leaders and followers. For, we see that throughout 
history it has been mainly religion, masked as economics, that has 
caused wars, torture, and very hard feelings among races. It is time to 
look at the origins of each religion, how it came to be what it is 
today. Dr. Wafa Sultan's interview and upcoming book balances Dan 
Brown's "The Da Vinci Code", don't you think?

We stand now at a critical moment in the history of civilizations, which 
is usually the case: beset by enemies who irrationally embrace their own 
destruction along with ours, our fate in the hands of leaders who make a 
virtue of avoiding reflection, our cultures hijacked by those leaders 
seeking control over vast populations, and much of it based on 
foundations of drifting sand. These foundations, based so much on 
promoting fear leading to hatred and ignorance, were established by 
similar earlier leaders. Such leaders seek followers, those who don't 
delve much into truth, don't recognize that they can experience it 
themselves directly. So be it.

At a higher level, one can see that all is perfect just the way it is 
unfolding, permitting Allah to know Self through self.

Love, only love,
