RASHID MUGHAL

"PEACE & VIOLENCE"

 

 

 
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
