Dear Akhtar Sherazi and Safdar Agha:
In post #074, you wrote:
Mr. Rashid Mughal, I am asking you once again to show me any
verse from the Qur’an, which exhibits once and for all that Allah is
evil and revengeful. Either it is your total ignorance of the Qur’an,
or your biased approach, nurtured by the absolutely defaced and
desecrated Scriptures, that you are making such illogical and
unintelligent remarks about Allah, Mohammad, and the Qur’an.
It appears to me that
you cannot see the big picture because your nose is too close to the
grindstone of your own conditioning. You do not realize that
Scriptures are one thing, and our understanding of them quite another,
regardless of whether one scripture has been "absolutely defaced and
desecrated" and the other, by subjective judgement, is not. On Sunday
you heard me say that human thought contaminates everything, and
thinking is an intellectual process, not the actual process of
realization.
The language and the
idiom I employ fly over your heads, Akhtar and Safdar. Both of you
appear so steeped in the contents of the one book as if God appeared
to you and pleaded, "Please defend my Book because Islam hatray
mein he!" You act and react as if Allah, Muhammad and the Koran
are your personal property when they are mere subjects of discussion
and debate.
You also get personal
because you are subjectively attached to those ideas called Allah,
Muhammad, and the Koran.
As ideas go, ponder
this: As man is saint and sinner rolled into one, perhaps Allah and
Shaitan are the two faces of a higher being.
You are being terribly
obnoxious by sticking your guns at people just because you have read
one book so thoroughly that you think other books are worthless.
Reading one book, and one book alone, has contaminated the minds of so
many.
If you read that book
again with an open mind, every time you see Allah saying he will burn
you in hell, or he will do something nasty to you, you should know
that Allah is vengeful.
If Allah wasn't
vengeful, the ummah wouldn't find their solace in Him. A vengeful God
is good, because then we can pray to Him to destroy our enemies, and,
please read again, the Koran dwells extensively on false gods, evil
and the evil ones, fear of Allah, the Day of Judgment, death instead
of life everlasting, Allah's curse, the deities of paganism, fighting
and striving in the cause of Allah, the blazing fury of Hell,
homosexuality, Jesus and the cursed children of Israel, Kafirs and
Kafirun, peace after war, prisoners of war, punishments, Satan, sin,
slaves, and the punishments to be meted out to Unbelievers are some of
the vengeful schemes and acts of a God who is merciful and tyrannical
by turns.
Rashid Mughal
