THE PHILOSOPHIC COMMUNITY PROJECTS

We saw a documentary film on Canvas TV
on the 25 July 2010
about the training of young Jews from around the World in Israel
to support the racistic war against Arabs and Palestinians
over a land they have taken from them by military force.
How does a philosophical mind relate to the
Israeli -Palestinian question,  for example?



Hate is the false prophet, love is the true master.
There is no holy ground which has been won by cruel violence and hate.

Holy is the love and understanding between all people.



What I try to say to this Muslim is that one does not enlighten someone by cutting off his head.





If a spirit, whether a chief of state, king, prophet or God,
condemns  honest critic, questioning  (unbelief) and  discussion but
would rather promote violence and war (like the Jihad), it cannot be  truly intelligent .

It cannot be of love.
So it cannot bring true peace to all people on the Earth.


Is it too dangerous to stand beside someone who says this ?

Dear Geraldine,
its to small i cant read it.
can you write it bigger.
Thank you


Dear Erci now I have a Nederland's Index page on our website with of the last things I wrote. Myriam has translated it for me.

If I always say the same thing, in a way, again and again, is in the hope that this time around you and other religious fanatics will get it.
ABRAHAMM's Story: THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF BLIND OBEDIENCE EVEN IN A CRIME.
If anyone first orders you not to hate and not to kill, and then, (instead of promoting healthy understanding through questioning what is and what is not just), commands you to hate and make war against and kill unbelievers, is this not a contradiction?
Abraham was tested for obedience by having been asked to murder his own son, then, a sheep instead, a story celebrated by Jews, Christians and Muslims alike: the beginning of monotheism. This particular story means the beginning of the  blind faith and blind following even in a crime.
As I have explained in the 'vegetarian meditation on the Islam',  why MUST we kill a sheep to eat if one can live as a vegetarian?
Why MUST we obey whoever or whatever without questioning?
Why should one follow orders from anyone which we find are not just, even if we are threatened do be murdered if we don't?

The same blind following and blind faith even in a crime will be also the end of the Monotheism, because blindly following the same tradition, irrationally, for the slightest difference of meaning or interpretation,  murderous opposition and bloody war is created and not the questioning dialogue which could be enlightening and peace bringing.  Do we follow someone blindly to be in peace with one's consciousness or because this someone threatens us?
If we can be free to question anyone authority with the sincerely of our heart's consciousness, why should we follow blindly someone who contradicts himself? Because we are threatened?

Killing in the name of God is this tyrant-like irrational attitude is no more than the product of servitude to thought, as my dear J. Krishnamurti would say.
Product of human pretence and irrational, unwise and  uncompassionate human pretence In looking for the divine love and  justice, one must rise upon fear and stop being a slave to forces of darkness and terror.

The law of an eye for an eye is barbaric.
If there is a spiritual justice, it is not that we must blind someone who has made another blind, simply that someone who did so intentionally was spiritually blind.
The truth is not we need not retribute a crime with another crime since every crime has in itself its (spiritual) retribution. The awareness of this spiritual blindness is its only cure.
Spiritual awareness is the only cure for the harm caused by hate, fanaticism, blind irrational beliefs. Then we will be truly free to separate the corn from the shaft, free, without servitude to what is said or written anywhere  and we may distinguish the treasures of love's wisdom from the unworthy servitude or vain love for power anywhere, even Sacred books.


A love-based justice lawyer-judge promotes rehabilitation of people, not their destruction.
Promotes the awakening of consciousness of love and human rights, 
rather than justification of with irrational murderous revenge slavery over people through marriage or belief .

C'est clair et simple!




Koran: “Slay the enemy where you find him (Surah 9.92).
Note by van Chapman;
If by enemy in the Koran t is meant  the Christians, unbelievers because Jesus contradicted this VIOLENCE in (Surah 9.92).AGAINST OUR ENEMIES by saying: LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, Luke 6:[27] "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, [28] bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.), or Hindus or Buddhists who will not kill another for a difference of belief, or even a sheep, if they are vegetarians, Mohammed will never gain his right in the eyes of the higher Justice of Love and Compassion, therefore his version of God is unacceptable, and he, Mohammed, is a false prophet.


Hate is the false prophet,
love is the true master.
There is no holy ground which
has been won
by cruel violence and hate.

Holy is the love and understanding
between all people.

DIALOGUE WITH A MUSLIM

Part of a long dialogue (at least since 2003 ) between van Chapman (Geraldine) and a Muslim I will call  Erci.
COMMENTARY BASED ON THE HISTORY OF THIS  DIALOGUE,
most of which  was previously published on this web site.


WHO IS THROWING PEARLS TO THE SWINES



exchange

Mohammed could kill people who criticized him.
told to stone people to death when they broke his rules.

To the EGO, as to your belief, you cannot be a friend of someone and see their faults.
To the EGO, as to your Prophet, (see the example of Gaddafi) you cannot be a friend of someone who sees your  faults.
You have to destroy them. Your tradition says
"Slay the enemy where you find him" (Surah 9.92).

I say: destroy the evil in people through awareness.


I do not defend the Western nor the Eastern World. I am a friend of both when I see their faults.

It is obvious to me and to anyone that 'keeping appearances' the way you do even on behalf of a prophet,
or even God,  is not want to face what is.

Violence is the way of brutality.
Truly civilized and intelligent solutions for relationships break that cycle of violence.

Arabs are questioning tyranny worldwide. And that is good.

Thanks for the honesty, Erci.
That is all that I need in our spiritual or philosophical relationship. I forgive you.
A love-based justice lawyer-judge promotes rehabilitation of people, not their destruction.
Promotes the awakening of consciousness of love and human rights,
rather than justification of with irrational murderous revenge slavery over people through marriage or belief .
C'est clair et simple!
If you want to be a lawyer in Europe, which shall you chose to follow?
The way of love-justice and rehabilitation in confession,
or the way of  'human property through belief or marriage'
and 'death penalty even in confession' power-loving Justice, of Mohammed's belief ?

You can say what you want, Erci, but according to the history of Muhammad's in hadith verbal accounts,
your prophet ordered people who confessed, to be stoned alive to death
(when breaking his obstinate 'property marriage'rules, though he could posses sexually many women, even married ones,
( if he killed the husband), and justify it). see the history below.
'It was standard practice, and made legal by Muhammad, to take as a "wife" in addition to captives, the wives of men killed in battle (or executed). On one occasion when Muhammad launched an attack on a Jewish tribe he personally witnessed their beheading and then took some of their widows to bed.' Semitic scholar and historian A.B. Davidson (a professor at New College, Edinburgh) recorded one such instance: "On one day he caused 800 Jews to be beheaded in cold blood, himself standing by and watching the butchery; and in the evening, to efface the unpleasant impression from his mind, and give a more happy turn to his ideas, he took home the wife of one of the murdered chiefs, and added her to his harem."Source: A.B. Davidson, Biblical and Literary Essays, ed. J.A. Peterson (London: Hodder & Stroughton, 1902), p. 228.'
' Bukhari 7:63:196 Narrated Abu Huraira: A man from Bani Aslam came to Allah's Apostle while he was in the mosque and called (the Prophet ) saying, "O Allah's Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." On that the Prophet turned his face from him to the other side, whereupon the man moved to the side towards which the Prophet had turned his face, and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet turned his face (from him) to the other side whereupon the man moved to the side towards which the Prophet had turned his face, and repeated his statement. The Prophet turned his face (from him) to the other side again. The man moved again (and repeated his statement) for the fourth time. So when the man had given witness four times against himself, the Prophet called him and said, "Are you insane?" He replied, "No." The Prophet then said (to his companions), "Go and stone him to death." The man was a married one. Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari said: I was one of those who stoned him. We stoned him at the Musalla ('Id praying place) in Medina. When the stones hit him with their sharp edges, he fled, but we caught him at Al-Harra and stoned him till he died.Sahih Bukhari 7:63:196'

Commentary by van Chapman :
We read the News. Arabs are questioning tyranny worldwide. Muslim suicide bombers
not only kills themselves but innocent people indiscriminately.
Is the work  of true faith or pure irrational hate or despair?

We read in the News: 'Churches and civil authorities hold accountable clergy members guilty of sexual abuse'.
However,  Muslim traditions justify the abuses paedophilia and the possession of children as wives
because Mohammed justified it to himself to marry a nine year old girl.
The Holy spirit would not have justified neither Moses nor Mohammed in violent bloody Jihad
they committed against those who did not believe them.
Anyone who commits acts of violence against others even in religious or territorial disputes,
does so without the approval of the Holy Spirit:
'Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you'. 'My kingdom is not of this world',
so why violate people and kill for terrestrial possessions?.
The Taliban will rather despise the evolution brought by Christ's forgiveness of sin to go back to the primitive
and barbarian anti human punishments of the Torah or the Sharia law.
Concerning terrorism and Islamic jihad, when the Sharia law promotes murder and torture as punishment,
torture, sword or fire or with simply spiritual irrationality and unquestionability, it is barbaric and inhuman violence.

Polygamy, Concubines, and Mistresses in Islam

“No one is allowed to wed more than four women, but he is permitted however,
in addition to them, to buy (women), as many as he wants.”

Here you will find some of the historical scandales of Mohammed estimated by scholars and the refferences:
http://www.internetparodies.org/muhammad.html

Here are som quotes from that:
HISTORICAL DATA ABOUT MUHAMMAD

* Mohammed is estimated by scholars to have had somewhere
between 15-25 wives. All agree that he had 9 wives at the time of his death
(5 more than the Quran permits for other Muslims)!

* He died at age 63 in the home of Aisha, his favorite wife,
and was buried on the spot where he died in Medina.

* Earlier, he fell in love with Zeinab, his cousin, and wife
of his adopted son Zeid. He then received a "revelation" from Allah that it
was permissible to marry the wife of an adopted son. Zeid divorced Zeinab
so that Mohammed could marry her.

Libraries Press, 1971, P. 343, and Washington Irving, Life of Mahomet. New
York: Dutton & Sons, 1911, p. 231.

* On his deathbed, Mohammed said: "Do not fear those who
disbelieve, fear me" and called for the conquest of Christianity.
Source, Essad Bey, Mohammed. New York: Longmans, Green & Co., 1936, p.
330.------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marriage to Six-Year Old
In 624 Abu Bakr (Muhammad’s daily companion and one of his first believers
and successor of Muhammad) gave Muhammad his daughter Aisha when she was six years old,
although the actual marriage was not consummated until she was nine.
This fact is uncontested by all Muslim scholars and chroniclers without exception).
At the time of their marriage Muhammad was 54 years old (the age of her grandfather)
– a difference of 45 years in their ages.


Aisha herself testified to these facts: “The messenger of God betrothed me
when I was six years old and then married me when I was nine years old.”
Source: Sahih Muslim (by Imam al-Mawawy), vol. 3, p. 577.

Islamic law has codified this principle of non-consent for under-age women based on Muhammad’s precedent:

“A father may give consent to have his young virgin daughter married without obtaining her permission,
for she does not have a choice, exactly as Abu Bakr El Sadiq did to his daughter Aisha,
when she was six years old. He married her to the prophet Muhammad without her permission.”

Source: Ibn Hazam (acknowledged by all Muslims as one of the greatest scholars on Islamic Law)
in his al-Muhalla (“The Sweetened”). Vol. 6, part 9, pp. 458-460.

Abd El Schafi, author of Behind the Veil stated in response:
“These are cruel, hard words and iniquitous Islamic principles which the free human conscience
utterly rejects and detests because it is related to the most important subject in the girl’s life,
that is, her body and her future” (p. 83).

Polygamy, Concubines, and Mistresses in Islam

“No one is allowed to wed more than four women, but he is permitted however,
in addition to them, to buy (women), as many as he wants.”
Source: Ibn Hazam, vol. 6, part 9, pp. 441, 467.
However, exceptions were made for the Prophet and his successors:
Muhammad had 11 wives and an Egyptian concubine
Umar Ibn al-Khattab had 7 wives plus 2 maid-salves
Uthman Ibn Affan had 8 wives
Ali Ibn Abi Talib (cousin of Muhammad) married 10 women plus 10 concubines and maid-slaves for a total of 29
Al-Hasan Ibn Ali (grandson of Muhammad and called by the Prophet
“the master of the youth of Paradise”) married 70 women (and was said to sometimes divorce two women in a day!).
Sources: Biographies such as Ibn Kathir’s, Bidaya and the Nihaya, vol. 7 & 8, and Suyuti’s, Chonicles of the Caliphs.

Marriage to wives of men killed by Muslims, including the murder of Jews
It was standard practice, and made legal by Muhammad, to take as a “wife” in addition to captives,
the wives of men killed in battle (or executed). On one occasion when Muhammad launched an attack
on a Jewish tribe he personally witnessed their beheading and then took some of their widows to bed.
Semitic scholar and historian A.B. Davidson (a professor at New College, Edinburgh) recorded one such instance:

“On one day he caused 800 Jews to be beheaded in cold blood, himself standing by
and watching the butchery; and in the evening, to efface the unpleasant impression from his mind,
and give a more happy turn to his ideas, he took home the wife of one of the murdered chiefs, and added her to his harem.”

(London: Hodder & Stroughton, 1902), p. 228.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sexual License in Islam – The Temporary Contractual Marriage
According to all Muslim scholars (especially in Sahih Muslim) the temporary, contractual marriage
was made lawful by Muhammad simply to satisfy the sexual passions of his soldiers. The “marriage”
only had to last 3 days, after which the woman could be deserted and left without any rights.
Only the fact that it is temporary a “marriage” separates it from outright fornication and adultery
(forbidden in Islam), but there is practically no difference. It was practiced during the beginning of the Islamic
era (during the caliphates of Abu Bakr and Ibn Abu ‘Umar) and is continued in practice today by over 100 million Shi’ite Muslims worldwide.
Concerning this .practice the following Islamic authority states:

“While in the army, Allah’s Apostle came to us and said, ‘You have been allowed to have Muta (“pleasure”),
so do it.’ If a man and a woman agree to marry temporarily, their marriage should last for three nights …”

The Massacre of civilians Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 358: Narrated Jubair bin Mut'im: ...
'Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab: ...When the first civil strife (in Islam) took place because of the murder of 'Uthman,
it left none of the Badr warriors alive. When the second civil strife, that is the battle of Al-Harra,
took place, it left none of the Hudaibiya treaty companions alive.
Then the third civil strife took place and it did not subside till it had exhausted all the strength of the people.'

Erci I, I neither defend the West nor the Eastern World  In the way you blindly defend Muslims, your prophet and the Islam.
I am a friend of both when I see their faults.

It is obvious to me and to anyone who is true that 'keeping appearances' the way you do on behalf of oneself, of another,
of your prophet, of the Muslim world or whoever is not to want to face what is.

To the EGO, as to your Prophet,  you cannot be a friend of someone who sees your  faults.
You have to destroy them. Your tradition says "Slay the enemy where you find him" (Surah 9.92).
I say: destroy the evil in people through awareness.
Violence is the way of brutality.

SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU BUT SEE THIS in your credible BUKHARI COLLECTION:
Don't tell me now it is not true about a slave Safiya bint Huyai.
First he (your prophet in a war) kills her people, imprisons her then he makes her a 'free' woman marrying  her!!!
What are the high standards for himself and his men??

Bukhari    Sahih Bukhari 1:8:367
Narrated 'Abdul 'Aziz: Dihya came and said, 'O Allah's Prophet! Give me a slave girl from the captives.
' The Prophet said, 'Go and take any slave girl.' He took Safiya bint Huyai. A man came to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostles!
You gave Safiya bint Huyai to Dihya and she is the chief mistress of the tribes of Quraiza and An-Nadir and she befits none but you.
' So the Prophet said, 'Bring him along with her.' So Dihya came with her and when the Prophet saw her, he said to Dihya,
'Take any slave girl other than her from the captives.' Anas added: The Prophet then manumitted her and married her."

  In theses Bukhari collections of yours I found translated in English, someone tells that your Prophet
ordered the "two adulterers to be stoned to death, and they were stoned to death near the place where biers
used to be placed near the Mosque. "and he "saw her companion
(i.e. the adulterer)  bowing over her so as to protect her from the stones." http://chittarkottai.com/bukhari/search.php.

Understanding this story spiritually for men  means when
'the adulterer was bowing over her so as to protect her from the stones',
he was proving his love for the woman.
Where is the love of Mohammed in this story?

Jesus has said is a similar situation: ' He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone' (John 7:53-8:11).
Justice, from the point of view of love, means that Mohammed would be going to hell for his arrogant,
unforgiving and cruel pretence, and the adulterer to heaven, for their love.

Because love is the only true light giving force, the only spiritual unifying,
the true justice and peace giving force, the only true heaven.

Mohammed  found that to have as many women as pleased concubines or wives marriage such as buying or taking a woman as a slave, was OK.
But  Mohammed  presumed  himself the authority to judge and condemn others to death for breaking a marriage contract.


Here you can read that Bukhari
Sahih Bukhari 1:8:367 Volume 6, Book 60, Number 311:
Narrated Aisha:
I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah's Apostle and I used to say,
"Can a lady give herself (to a man)?" But when Allah revealed: "You (O Muhammad) can postpone
(the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will;
and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).' (33.51)
I said (to the Prophet), "I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires."
Bukhari :Volume 7 :: Book 62 :: Hadith 6. Narrated Anas:
"The Prophet used to visit all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives."

....................................................................................................................................................................

Erci, you said that the people in Mecca accepted Mohammed with open arms.
Look what your book says: . http://www.answering-islam.org/Green/spread.htm

Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 360:
Narrated Ibn Shihab: These were the battles of Allah's Apostle (which he fought), and while mentioning (the Badr battle) he said,
"While the corpses of the pagans were being thrown into the well, Allah's Apostle said (to them),
'Have you found what your Lord promised true?" 'Abdullah said, "Some of the Prophet's companions said,
"O Allah's Apostle! You are addressing dead people.' Allah's Apostle replied, 'You do not hear what I am saying, better than they.
' The total number of Muslim fighters from Quraish who fought in the battle of Badr and were given their share of the booty,
were 81 men." Az-Zubair said, "When their shares were distributed, their number was 101 men. But Allah knows it better."


WHAT AN ARROGANCE! Allah knows it better? What do you do when you throw a corpse in a well? You poison all the drinking water for everyone. 

You probably see the TV world News. Why is  there is no dialogue with the opposition, but repression in the rule of Gaddafi?
Why do the Libyans make War in place of openly dialoguing?

Why is it that in their speeches, both Gaddafi as the rebels against him say they are martyrs and send each other to hell?

'The scholars are unanimously agreed that a Muslim who insults the Prophet becomes a Kaafir and an apostate who is to be executed'.  http://knowing-islamic-doctrines.blogspot.com/2010/12/islamic-blasphemy-law-as-explained-by.html
This consensus was narrated by more than one of the scholars,  such as Imaam Ishaaq ibn Raahawayh, Ibn al-Mundhir, al-Qaadi 'Iyaad, al-Khattaabi and others.
(Al-Saarim al-Maslool, 2/13-16)
http://www.answering-islam.org/Green/spread.htm


This is what they are taught by Mohammed to admire, this is what the Islamic tradition thought them:
not to listen to critic opposition but, because they really do not have an argument, to kill the ones who oppose or criticizes them.

One can solve problems through love and intelligence, as we try to solve in our dialogue...
If you put aside your keeping appearances on behalf of your prophet.
Where unquestionable authority and unquestionable submission is part of a culture, as in Libya.
When protest arises,  the first option, as with Gadaffi, is not dialogue, but brutal repression and war.

to each one of  the population after the International community condemned his attack on his own people??

To the EGO, as to your belief, you cannot be a friend of someone and see the faults.
Mohammed could kill people who criticized him.
told to stone people to death when they broke his rules.

It is obvious to me and to anyone that 'keeping appearances' the way you do even on behalf of a prophet,

Truly civilized and intelligent solutions for relationships  break that cycle of violence.

Dear Erci,  Do you really not understand me (are you thumb sucking)
or  simply avoiding to understand me, just keeping appearances on behalf of your belief,
because you could be killed according to your belief if you saw something not right in it?
You ask me to explain again.
I only defend what I see  coherent with love, not with any religion in particular

So I am not justifying Christianity nor the Islam but I find absurd that you make a blind eye to all that is not good
in your prophet, in the Islam and even in the Muslim world.

All the fault is with the 'West' or 'America', you say.
Do you not ever see the news?
see Abdul Rahman faced death penalty in Afghanistan for converting from Islam to Christianity http://news.uk.msn.com/forum/thread.aspx?board=00000071-0328-0000-0000-000000000000&thread=eeddf632-191a-4abb-ad51-aa3a5dd60757
'how can a religion of peace kill in name of religion?'
You force me again and again to explain what I wrote before.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ONCE AND FOR ALL this: Sincere dialogue is superior to a Belief
which will kill others in name of  religion for example the Islam what you will deny according to the book you have at home.
Unquestionable authority and unquestionable obedience even in a crime is the beginning  (Abraham)
and is the end of this thought-created Monotheism.
Self destructive phenomena of traditions people have called Monotheistic doctrines where Shiites, Sunnites, Catholiques
Jews Protestants, Muslims are ego tripping and killing each other over religion
instead of coming around the table and finding what is really essential in life:

to stop the stupid competition for power and war and collaborate so that we can be sincere and true and fair,
understanding  and loving to each other rather than hate, enslave, dominate or kill each other.
.
You said I have to know the history.
And you said you have at home all the collection of Buhari and the reference I give you is not there.
I found the book and the references in several Muslim sites on internet, which I sent to you by e mail,
and you say again that the references are not right.

So the only solution for the world to know the real history of Mohammed is to go to your house personally
and check in your personal copy of the book.(!!?)

Maybe you really cannot understand English, but I think you do, and because you believe in a religion that kills
those who go back on it, you are afraid to understand and be true and instead continue ego tripping.

Is it to difficult to answer that Dear Filosofer??


G answered march 8 2011
Erci, Is that what you call a strong man's argument?
You dismiss all I am saying by writing that what I find in the Koran and in the Bukhari  is not correct
according to YOUR PARTICULAR BOOK.

Tell me where I can find your book on the web so I can have access to it.
Tell me which sequence is not a right reference.

You asked: "If God is Love, How come He killed his Innocent Son, according to what the Christians say ?"

You said: " if i refer to a verse in the bible, i tlle the book and the verse". Where is the reference then?
Our dialogue takes much more time from me than from you.
Go through it on the web and you will see how much more careful and extensively I write than you.

Yesterday I spent all afternoon answering you. And you did not get it.
Read again:
(Unquestionable authority and unquestionable obedience even in a crime is the beginning
(Abraham) and the end of Monotheistic religions ....)

Where did you get the idea that I agree with killing an innocent son as Muslims and Christians believe  in the story of Abraham?
When  did I ever say that God killed the innocent Jesus?
I never said that.Is that what you call a strong man's argument? Show me the reference.

Christians do not say God killed Jesus but sent Jesus who was betrayed by Judas and killed by the men of Cesar.
Symbolically Jesus  accepted to be sacrificed as a sheep  to God, a martyr, as your religion would call it.

Anyhow it is more loving to die in a mission to save humanity than to kill humanity or those who protest,
example on the streets of Libya, in defence of oneself, as we see Gaddafi is doing and I see Mohammed
did in his time according to the references I gave before( and you deny).

I cite Jesus when I agree or not with something he says, when he makes sense or not to me, as I do with you,
with your prophet or with the word of God of any book. I reason from the love of my heart alone.
I am not a follower. Is that too strange for you to understand ?

I am showing you what is incoherent about what is actually happening in the history of Mohammed,
in the history of the Islam in the present Muslim world and you deny to admit there is anything
at all and the whole fault is with the West or America.

Even the war between Shiite and Sunni Muslims ? Is that what you think is a strong man's argument?
That is indeed KEEPING APPERANCES.

You are very demanding. I have to put all we write to each other on the web when you like.

I have to think of the public also. It is too much to put on the first index page, for most people
will not have the patience to read all we say to each other.
I am busy collecting our e mails per date and publishing them in sequence on the page I made especially for it.
And we will be able to see our own incoherences, if any, when we re-read it, so as to clear everything up.

I hope you want to clear everything, what I call a strong argumentation, instead of justifying all on your side
like a lawyer who is paid to defend someone even when he is wrong.

Be well.

Dear Erci now I have a Nederland's Index page on our website with of the last things I wrote. Myriam has translated it for me.

If I always say the same thing, in a way, again and again, is in the hope that this time around you and other religious fanatics will get it.
ABRAHAMM's Story:
THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF BLIND OBEDIENCE EVEN IN A CRIME.
If anyone first orders you not to hate and not to kill, and then, (instead of promoting healthy understanding through questioning
what is and what is not just), commands you to hate and make war against and kill unbelievers, is this not a contradiction?
Abraham was tested for obedience by having been asked to murder his own son, then, a sheep instead,
a story celebrated by Jews, Christians and Muslims alike: the beginning of monotheism.
This particular story means the beginning of the  blind faith and blind following even in a crime.
As I have explained in the 'vegetarian meditation on the Islam',  why MUST we kill a sheep to eat if one can live as a vegetarian?
Why MUST we obey whoever or whatever without questioning?
Why should one follow orders from anyone which we find are not just, even if we are threatened do be murdered if we don't?

The same blind following and blind faith even in a crime will be also the end of the Monotheism,
because blindly following the same tradition, irrationally, for the slightest difference of meaning or interpretation,
murderous opposition and bloody war is created and not the questioning dialogue which could be enlightening
and peace bringing.  Do we follow someone blindly to be in peace with one's consciousness or because this someone threatens us?
If we can be free to question anyone authority with the sincerely of our heart's consciousness, why should we follow
blindly someone who contradicts himself? Because we are threatened?

Killing in the name of God is this tyrant-like irrational attitude is no more than
the product of servitude to thought, as my dear J. Krishnamurti would say.
Product of human pretence and irrational, unwise and  uncompassionate human pretence.

In looking for the divine love and  justice, one must rise upon fear and stop being a slave to forces of darkness and terror.

The law of an eye for an eye is barbaric.
If there is a spiritual justice, it is not that we must blind someone who has made another blind,
simply that someone who did so intentionally was spiritually blind.
The truth is not we need not rettribute a crime with another crime since every crime has in itself its (spiritual) retribution.
The awareness of this spiritual blindness is its only cure.
Spiritual awareness is the only cure for the harm caused by hate, fanaticism, blind irrational beliefs.
Then we will be truly free to separate the corn from the shaft, free, without servitude to what is said
or written anywhere  and we may distinguish the treasures of love's wisdom from the unworthy servitude
or vain love for power anywhere, even Sacred books.


A love-based justice lawyer-judge promotes rehabilitation of people, not their destruction.
Promotes the awakening of consciousness of love and human rights, 
rather than justification of with irrational murderous revenge slavery over people through marriage or belief .

C'est clair et simple!

Dear Erci, you wrote me that if I do not give the sources that is

The only book you trust has no sources at all, therefore, to use
your language and reasoning, it is just for thumb-sucking.

Why are you saying that if I want the sources, I have to come to
your house?
Why are you not more open about the names of sources?

Why are you so reluctant to give me the exact historical authors,
the links to the international knowledge sources of Mohammed's
history ?

I tell you why:
Because you try to dominate over me at all costs though you will
never succeed.

Why? Because you believe all is justified in self defence, and you are
self-defending your belief in a way which is incompatible with a
truth-loyal dialogue.  In a way which is childish and unphilosophical.

Because you are trying wanting to polish the history of your
Prophet, to keep appearances and hide and deny all that is
brutal, barbaric, and incoherent in your Prophet, and his belief,
even if I make it evident to you every time again.

To rather murder for a belief than to allow the questioning which leads to truth,
IS MY NOTION OF SATAN, UTTER STUPIDITY,  NOT OF GOD.

One reads the translation of Qur'an 2:216 'Prescribed for you is fighting, though it is hateful to you.' -
4:76 'Those who believe fight in the cause of God, and those who  -reject faith fight in the cause of evil. '

I say do not what you hate.

If you fight as a philosopher for dialogue and  understanding, as Socrates did, believing that each person has
the consciousness in him, you do not fear to die,
you fear to kill for a belief that contradicts itself by ordering you to kill for a belief,
for God instead of promoting intelligent questioning and dialogue which leads to the truth.

On the street, when I met you and joked with you that you were
looking like an American, you mentioned the MIDDLE WAY.

You know  in your heart Erci, that I never looked at you with
hate, though we seriously disagreed .

YOU CALL HATE  A QUESTIONING BASED ON THE FAITH ON SINCERITY AND PARDON  THROUGH THE
AWAKENING OF UNDERSTANDING,  WHILE YOU DEFEND A LAW OF AN EYE FOR AN EYE REVENGE of
your Prophet and HIS word of God.

Commentary on that:  
According to the historic narrations you and many 'your'
professors hide from us, Mohammed did not tolerate critic on
himself, as (logically not) the Koran, his version of God's Word,
'no other than its religion will be tolerated',  and  to fight until
no other religion is than the Islam.

So do not come to tell me that it is the West's fault if Muslims rather use terrorism
to dominate opposition rather than civilized questioning and dialogue.


They are just obedient to a pattern of  unquestioning obedience (even in a crime) for example:
The condemnation of  Reason, Disbelief or Questioning,YOUR Prophet's belief) 
is real prejudice and hate: 2:193 "Fight against them (unbelievers) until there is no

dissension, and the religion is for Allah."Fight until no other religion exists but Islam.
Surah 4:89 -"Those who reject Islam must be killed. If they turn
back (from Islam), take (hold of) them and kill them wherever
you find them..."

But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever you find them. - 4:89

O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are
friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is
one of them. God does not guide an unjust people. - 5:54

Qur'an (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more
persecution and religion should be only for Allah"
2:216 Prescribed for you is fighting, though it is hateful to you.
- 4:76 Those who believe fight in the cause of God, and those who
-reject faith fight in the cause of evil.

Answer Sunday, March 20, 2011 5:38 PM
Subject: The Holy Spirit is the spirit of love itself.


When you are a child you believe Santa Claus is a person who really exists somewhere.
When you grow you understand he just symbolizes a spirit, who brings us light and blessings, gifts.

Is love a person or that which makes us truly a person?
The Holy Spirit is the spirit of love itself.
True love is our spiritual paradise and our selfishness is our spiritual hell.

False thoughts create the greed, vanity, jealousy, hate, and crime,
which are our spiritual hell, so long  the  illusion  persists,  not in the hereafter, but here and now,
for who has eyes to see.


We create our spiritual heaven or hell for ourselves.
There is no one else to send you to a spiritual paradise or to hell.

Buddha saw that greed created of suffering.
(greed the illusion of selfishness, separation, falseness, pride, hate).
Buddha saw that clarity, compassion, thus, the light of love, is the way out.



Jesus, on the cross, realized Buddha's vision that evil is caused by illusion,  when he asked God,
(Luke 23:34)' Forgive them, because they do not know what they were doing").

God who should have known best, but did not know best,
because the revengeful god men created  was also a product of their own revenge and hate.


Jesus realized then, at least, that the way was not brutality and hate but understanding and light.
Therefore 'love your enemies', and not as Mohammed believed:
'Kill unbelievers wherever you find them' or
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve.
Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" Qur'an (8:12)
which in the name of the MOST MERCIFUL
(in whatever context you want to place) is total spiritual madness...

Those who believed in this God, who should have known better but did not,
until Jesus opened his eyes, think like this: The greatest sinners, through the intercession of Jesus,
may obtain pardon. God heard him, and still hears him "always".

For me this is all a thought process, that has its based on old beliefs,
trying to justify old beliefs at any cost.

But wisdom comes directly from consciousness and the heart,
not from justification or condemnation based on belief.

Justification or condemnation based on belief is the cause
of the most absurd and unsolvable conflicts today,
of the madness of suicide or mass murder terrorists,
and we have a chance to decide to leave it all behind us,
or go on with the nonsense indefinitely.


The Holy Spirit is the spirit of love itself.
Is love a person or that which makes us to be truly a person?
Love is that without which we are lost, and with which we find ourselves.

The rest are just beliefs...



You may wonder how can I speak in such a free way you cannot:

'The truth will set you free'

Your friend in love of truth.

(2) Everyone has only one life in which to determine their destiny (Hebrews 9:27).
(3) Heaven or hell is determined by whether a person believes (puts their trust) in Christ alone to save them (John 3:16, 36, etc.).
Key Passages About Hell
(1) Hell was designed originally for Satan and his demons (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10).
(2) Hell will also punish the sin of those who reject Christ (Matthew 13:41,50; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:8).
(3) Hell is conscious torment.
"    Matthew 13:50 "furnace of fire…weeping and gnashing of teeth"
"    Mark 9:48 "where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched"
"    Revelation 14:10 "he will be tormented with fire and brimstone"
(4) Hell is eternal and irreversible.
"    Revelation 14:11 "the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever and they have no rest day and night"

There is no difference between  Mohammed's Koran telling you to kill Muslims who renegade the Islam, 
and Mafia gangs telling you, once you have been a member, that they will kill you if you renegade their brutal gang...
in both cases there is brutal tyranny and that is not love.
I believe in what makes sense, no matter who said it, You like all believers believe in someone even  if that one make no sense,
And in that way you do not differ from many Jews and Christians your Koran tells you not to be a friend of.
And most believers  believe even in that what  makes no sense out of fear of others or death or hell.
(In your book of the history of Mohammed the author pretends Mohammed will tell you what is the word of God and what not.
what is good and what is bad. To me this is bad: If a God makes no sense in rather punishing his creatures  for all eternity than
to give them insight and wisdom,  it is the creation of man's unforgiving irrational hate.)
I believe in what makes sense, and it can be Jesus or your Mohammed, but do not tell me I have to believe it because it is written

"Those who reject (HIM, Gadaffi)  must be killed.
If they turn back (From HIM, Gaddafi ), take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you find them..."
Not love from his people but a violent rape.
a wolf disguised as a sheep.
One difference of interpretation, as between 
Gadaffi and the protesters, Sunnis and Shiia Muslims,
and instead of dialogue, and voting, both sides believe they are the marthyrs,
and the both sides believe they are justified to send each other (literally) to hell.
4:89 -"Those who reject Islam must be killed. If they turn back (from Islam), take (hold of) them and kill them
wherever you find them..."
This is your prophet's bloody peace. enjoy it.

Peace

G.answers  Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2011 Subject: The end
Peace to one who unlike your prophet, does not kill with stones someone for a betrayal, but forgives.

Because those who will possess another as a slave keeper in truth do not love, but rape.
Peace to the one who, unlike your Prophet, can take critic and protest and unbelief without going to war to kill the other.
because to answer unbelief  but with murder and not with reason as Mohammed's version of God does, is the end of love and peace.
Peace unto all who have laid down all arrogant, vain pretence of power, or hypocrite subservience,
because the vain arrogance of men as their ignoble subservience to power leads to lying and endless division, as humble honesty leads to union and truth.
Peace unto your prophet also, when instead of covering up or following his example blindly, you and his followers recognize the faults he made.
Your friend in love of truth.

Dear Geraldine,
It seems you are obsessed with Islam.
That good for you.
Didnt you understand that publishing the same ves over and over again makes a fool of you.
As you said our conversation has ended.
Now leave me in Peace as i leave you in Peace.
Or do you want to stalk me with the same verses over and over again.

Dear Erci,
Obsessed is someone who cannot question( a belief). To be critical of something is to be free of it.

Answering  honestly and not allowing someone to dominate over you out of a belief alone is not the same as stalking .

I repeat myself in our dialogue if you keep denying  clear, simple evidence.

Foolishness is denying reason and love denying simple evidence .

Your belief teaches you to think a man to be superior to a woman and a believer superior to a non believer
(a believer of the Islam alone). So you want to have the last word and the upper hand over me.
That is not being honest. That is being a believer.


About your portrait:
You are afraid to have your real name and photo in our conversation on the web. I am not ,
even though your fanatic brothers who have no more intelligent argument could kill me for speaking of reason and  love,

and all I could do is prove you wrong (in the eyes of reason and love) in this dialogue, which I have done.

So in our conversation I am not  the one who is hiding.

I cannot make a better portrait (than the one I made of you) of someone who is not really true  to me.
So I gave you your portrait for free.

You will have to wait for your money back when I have it.
I have to wait until you stop hiding your real name and your real face in our conversation.
I do not know when that will be.

Be well.

Erci,
You said last you have not done research to answer our dialogue.
You let me do research alone, again and again.

If at least you were to someone who was willing to understand, (not only to convince others),
I had not to repeat myself so many times all these years.so you did not really
read with care and you did not really answer with care our dialogue.

I did most of the work. Even the portrait you asked of yourself.

I did what I could but not what you asked me to do:
tot change your eyes in that portrait.
The change in your eyes (as in my portrait of you), has to come from within you.

Stop  hiding your name and your face from our dialogue,
stop fearing if I record on video our conversation while I finish that portrait.

-How can a mind full of fear, full of beliefs see clearly?
Would have asked again Krishnamurti.

Once I wrote in a poem that 'angels have no fear, for they are protected by the love in their hearts'.
Only then I will believe in your peace.

Subject: Madam Hate.

Geraldine,
You have betrayed me for not doing my portret afther you have got your money.
The portret is not even looking like me.

Geraldine, you need to understand that islam is a very big religion, you have many subject,
fe: relations with your parents, feeding the poor, how to fast, how to pray, Sharia, Sunnat etc.....
Next time dont come and say i want to talk about the Islam, but say i want to talk about Sharia.
Everything of Islam intrestes me but i didnt had the time to study the Sharia.
Thats why i cant answer youre questions.

You need to go to an professor of Sharia cause youre questions are always the same, its about stoning, and killings etc.
Its also strange  that the only thing that comes of a Madam of Love is punishment.

I think you need to look at the mirror, i start to think that you believe in Hate insted of Love.
So from now on im gonna Call you Madam Hate.

The Holy Qoran tells you, if you think its not of Allah, then produce a chapter like it.
So who are you waiting for, Madam Hate?

Be an Honest Woman, Finish my Portret wich you have been paid for !!!!
Or give me my money back.

I tried to help you after you told me you had financial problems, and what did you do?
You are saying you want to finish my portret with conditions.

I didnt asked conditions when i payed you.
What you are doing is very fals and cowerdly.
I think im getting to know you Madam HATE.

G Answered:
Thanks for the answer. Now I can publish your previous e mail.

You were happy the first time you saw your portrait.
And you paid it. Then you demanded I change the eyes.
Then I found out that you paid in the condition that I paint you the way you want me to see you.
Not the way I see you.
So I rather give you your money back
but you have to wait. I don't know when I will have money.

You tried a dialogue with me to make me see Mohammed- Koran-Allah  the way you see them,
not to allow me to show you the faults I see in them.
You are not content with how I see them.

I proposed we look openly at  the references to irrational horrible things in of the Koran, in the Hadiths and even in your Bukhari*.

But you try to justify them or hide them from me,
( re-read our dialogue from the beginning if you will deny that),
you try to give the excuse that the references are not correct, (according to the only history of Mohammed without references you gave me)
or that you have not made research, and do not know about the Sharia etc.

And when I do the research for you, you deny their existence, you send me to talk to others, because you may not reason for yourself..

You are not content with how I see you.

So I propose we speak openly (before a video camera),
while I work on your portrait.

But you want to hide yourself  in this dialogue
where you cannot have the upper hand on me
BECAUSE LOVE IS A MUCH STRONGER ARGUMENT
THAN TO DEFEND THE UNQUESTIONABILITY OF Mohammed's ALLAH.


*Death Punishment for Apostasy,

QUOTE: The grim reality for a modern Muslim regarding apostasy is that its death penalty is
rooted in the Qur'an and in the Hadith. I have shown that this is the case in this article.
Such a punishment for a behavior that is not a crime at all, but a right that any human
being of our time should enjoy, cannot be a morally justified punishment.
One should be
able to change religious beliefs if one wants to without the threat of being killed. (End quote).

Dear Muslim

I do not defend the Western nor the Eastern World.

I am a friend of both when I see their faults.


To the EGO, as to your belief, you cannot be a friend of someone and see the faults.

Mohammed could kill people who criticized him.

told to stone people to death when they broke his rules.


It is obvious to me and to anyone that 'keeping appearances' the way you do even on behalf of a prophet, or even God,  is not want to face what is.


Truly civilized and intelligent solutions for relationships  break that cycle of violence.


Arabs are questioning tyranny worldwide. And that is good.

LOVE OR BELIEF?



31 March 2011

NEVER MIND THE SPELLING -ENGLISH FAULTS!


So you wanted to end the discussion with "To you be your religion, and to me my
religion" (109:6).

That was before Mohammed came to power. Afterwards, it was (and this is not the Sharia but the Koran, my dear Muslim):
(Quote):'Those who reject Islam must be killed. If they turn back (from Islam), take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you find them...(4:89) " ?


In whatever way you turn it, your prophet's religion did not trust an immanent justice like Hindu's or Buddhist's Karma law, but actually tried to created murderers out of Muslims themselves.

:'Those who reject Islam must be killed. If they turn back (from Islam), take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you find them...(4:89) ".

If you shoot dead someone for deserting a religion you are not using violence in self defence only, but actively forcing people to convert  (even the peace loving like the Hindus or Buddhists and the vegetarians and the philosophers and the human rights defenders and the whole world)  to a sheep slaughtering, bloody brutal religion through fear, not differently from any criminal Nazi, tyrant, mafia gang.


Can you explain why the 'Madame hate' when I simply reject your insincerity before the stupid violence your religion preaches in name of the MOST MERCIFUL???

Answer honestly, would you follow your heart or will you justify a religion that teaches 'Those who reject Islam must be killed' ?
If you justify it, what is the context that can justify this contradiction in a religion?


More important than the portrait is the sincerity in this dialogue.
Your eyes in the portrait cannot be good so long as you are avoiding the point
avoiding the question,  so long you avoid to be truly open and sincere in this dialogue.

Erci called me and he was friendly, and I was friendly to him.

He had an idea, he would show me some photos he had taken with dark glasses.
I told him I wanted to paint him without any dark glasses.
He said that apart from something in the nose and around the eyes the portrait was fine.
He complained I put conditions to finish it.

Once again I explained what was not acceptable to me in the Koran as in any religion:
As Mohammed taught, if you abandon a Faith, its members could murder you, like the mafia does.
(like if a woman betrays a man with another, (and he thinks can have several women), he can stone her to death.?..).


He tried to explain but I felt it coming, the 'rond the pot draaien' and I was short with him.
I told him to write me if he wanted to answer me.
He said he had no time!

He lies..he simply has no argument.

He has lost the argument  from the start in this discussion,
but he will have time enough to try to fool me around not to openly admit it.

I cannot make a true portrait of someone who is not humble, or I have to paint a mask..

Here is a list of wives of Mohammed by the Muslim scholar Ali Dashti.
http://www.muslimhope.com/WhyDidMohammedGetSoManyWives.htm


Quote: He probably based much of this on an earlier list in the History of al-Tabari vol.9 p.126-241.
It should be mentioned that scholars and Hadiths are not entirely agreed on the wives of Mohammed.

For example some hadiths (not Bukhari or Sahih Muslim) mention a couple of wives of Mohammed that he divorced,
and these are not shown here. Nonetheless, Ali Dashti's list, while perhaps not entirely agreed upon as being comprehensive, shows many of the wives. Following this is the evidence from the hadiths, independent of Ali Dashti, for these relationships.

1. Khadija/Khadijah bint Khuwailid/Khywaylid - died first
2. Sauda/Sawda bint Zam'a
3. 'Aisha/Aesha/'A'ishah - 8 to 9 yrs old, 2nd wife
   'Aisha's Slaves
   'Aisha and the Battle of the Camel
4. Omm/'Umm Salama/Salamah
5. Hafsa/Hafsah
6. Zaynab/Zainab of Jahsh
7. Juwairiya/Jowayriya bint Harith (captive)

9. Safiya/Safiyya bint Huyai/Huyayy bint Akhtab (captive)
10. Maymuna/Maimuna of Hareth
11. Fatima/Fatema/Fatimah (briefly)
12. Hend/Hind (widow)
13. Asma of Saba (Sana bint Asma')
14. Zaynab of Khozayma
15. Habla?
16. Divorced Asma of Noman / bint al-Nu'man
¾slaves / concubines ¾
17. Mary the Copt/Christian
18. Rayhana/Raihana/Rayhanah bint Zayd/Zaid
¾uncertain relationship -
19. Divorced Omm Sharik
20. Maymuna/Maimuna (slave girl?)
21. Zaynab/Zainab the third?
22. Khawla / Khawlah
23. Divorced Mulaykah bint Dawud
24. Divorced al-Shanba' bint 'Amr
25. Divorced al-'Aliyyah
26. Divorced 'Amrah bint Yazid
27. Divorced an Unnamed Woman
28. Qutaylah bint Qays (died right away)
29. Sana bint Sufyan
30. Sharaf bint Khalifah
31. Women of Mohammed's Right Hand
Mohammed Turned Some Women Down
Some Women Turned Mohammed Down
¾ Ali Dashti missed at least nine possible other wives.
Mohammed married 15 women and consummated his marriages with 13. (al-Tabari vol.9 p.126-127)

Question from DIALOGUE WITH ERCI:
TO HAVE ALL THESE WOMEN IS MAYBE A GOOD REASON FOR SOME MEN TO FIGHT AND KILL FOR ALLAH?
DIALOGUE WITH A MUSLIM
20/03/2011
Question from the Muslim  Erci: 


-Well how do you explain then that God has created Hell, you can read it in Matthieuw.
If he is love then why did he create Hell ???


Answer Sunday, March 20, 2011 5:38 PM
Subject: The Holy Spirit is the spirit of love itself.


When you are a child you believe Santa Claus is a person who really exists somewhere.
When you grow you understand he just symbolizes a spirit, who brings us light and blessings, gifts.

Is love a person or that which makes us truly a person?

The Holy Spirit is the spirit of love itself.

True love is our spiritual paradise and our selfishness is our spiritual hell.

False thoughts create the greed, vanity, jealousy, hate, and crime,
which are our spiritual hell, so long  the  illusion  persists,  not in the hereafter, but here and now,
for who has eyes to see.


We create our spiritual heaven or hell for ourselves.
There is no one else to send you to a spiritual paradise or to hell.

Buddha saw that greed created of suffering.
(greed the illusion of selfishness, separation, falseness, pride, hate).
Buddha saw that clarity, compassion, thus, the light of love, is the way out.



Jesus, on the cross, realized Buddha's vision that evil is caused by illusion,  when he asked God,
(Luke 23:34)' Forgive them, because they do not know what they were doing").

God who should have known best, but did not know best,
because the revengeful god men created  was also a product of their own revenge and hate.


Jesus realized then, at least, that the way was not brutality and hate but understanding and light.
Therefore 'love your enemies', and not as Mohammed believed:
'Kill unbelievers wherever you find them' or
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve.
Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" Qur'an (8:12)
which in the name of the MOST MERCIFUL
(in whatever context you want to place) is total spiritual madness...



Those who believed in this God, who should have known better but did not,
until Jesus opened his eyes, think like this: The greatest sinners, through the intercession of Jesus,
may obtain pardon. God heard him, and still hears him "always".

For me this is all a thought process, that has its based on old beliefs,
trying to justify old beliefs at any cost.

But wisdom comes directly from consciousness and the heart,
not from justification or condemnation based on belief.

Justification or condemnation based on belief is the cause
of the most absurd and unsolvable conflicts today,
of the madness of suicide or mass murder terrorists,
and we have a chance to decide to leave it all behind us,
or go on with the nonsense indefinitely.



The Holy Spirit is the spirit of love itself.
Is love a person or that which makes us to be truly a person?
Love is that without which we are lost, and with which we find ourselves.

The rest are just beliefs...



You may wondetr how can I speak in such a free way you cannot:

'The truth will set you free'

Your friend in love of truth.


***

There is no difference between  Mohammed’s Koran telling you to kill Muslims who renegade the Islam,  and Mafia gangs telling you, once you have been a member, that they will kill you if you renegate their brutal gang...

in both cases there is brutal tyranny and that is not love.

I believe in what makes sense, no matter who said it, You like all believers believe in someone even  if that one make no sense,

And in that way you do not differ from many Jews and Christians your Koran tells you not to be a friend of.

And most believers  believe even in that what  makes no sense out of fear of others or death or hell.

(In your book of the history of Mohammed the author pretends Mohammed will tell you what is the word of God and what not. what is good and what is bad. To me this is bad: If a God makes no sense in rather punishing his creatures  for all eternity than to give them insight and wisdom,  it is the creation of man's unforgiving irrational hate.)

I believe in what makes sense, and it can be Jesus or your Mohammed, but do not tell me I have to believe it because it is written or because Jesus or Mohammed has said it, because I will not believe point other line.

Sorry Erci, but So long as you or another comes to me with your fanaticism or irrational belief, they will hear me speak of reason and love.

Have a good day.

Subject: Re: not the false peace of the ego in keeping appearances



Erci,
You said last you have not done research to answer our dialogue.
You let me do research alone, again and again.

If at least you were to someone who was willing to understand, (not only to convince others), I had not to repeat myself so many times all these years.so you did not really read with care and you did not really answer with care our dialogue.

I did most of the work. Even the portrait you asked of yourself.

I did what I could but not what you asked me to do:
tot change your eyes in that portrait.
The change in your eyes (as in my portrait of you), has to come from within you.
Stop  hiding your name and your face from our dialogue, stop fearing if I record on video our conversation while I finish that portrait.

-How can a mind full of fear, full of beliefs see clearly?
Would have asked again Krishnamurti.

Once I wrote in a poem that 'angels have no fear, for they are protected by the love in their hearts'.
Only then I will believe in your peace.
Be well.





NOTE: NEVER MIND THE SPELLING MISTAKES


What I try to say to this Muslim is that one does not enlighten someone by cutting off his head.

If a spirit, whether a chief of state, king, prophet or God,
condemns  honest critic, questioning  (unbelief) and  discussion but
would rather promote violence and war (like the Jihad), it cannot be  truly intelligent .

It cannot be of love.
So it cannot bring true peace to all people on the Earth.


Is it too dangerous to stand beside someone who says this ?

would rather promote violence and war (like the Jihad), it cannot be  truly intelligent .

It cannot be of love.
So it cannot bring true peace to all people on the Earth.


Is it too dangerous to stand beside someone who says this ?

End of a long attempt of a dialogue with a fanatic Muslim



You say you do not believe in love as I do.

you believe in justice, not love, because you believe in Alah.

I say there is no Justice without love.



Does a good teacher kill a student because a student does not believe or understand?

Does a good teacher punish  a human fault or crime with an even worse crime?

What I have shown you in this dialogue is that not all which is written in the scriptures and Koran is just.

some punishments in the Koran are not a form of just punishment but  a much worse crime.

and Erci finally gave in and : answered: -Maybe...

Now he must be giving it some thought.



Terrorists are not afraid of bombs, they are afraid of questions.

Spiritual voice cannot be silenced by neither questions nor bombs ,
Spiritual people are afraid  to harm or do injustice to anyone, what terrorists are not afraid of.

Wishing all the best to you. 







Abraham's story of him being willing to kill even his own son, out of obedience, set out the example of blind obedience even in a crime, to religious authority or whom we consider to be God.

(He could have stopped and asked himself  if he could trust anyone or any spirit as just and good, who would order him to murder anyone, in particularly, an innocent child.)

ABOUT UNQUESTIONABILITY
WHAT SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS and POWER LOVING TEACHINGS DO NOT HAVE IN COMMON:

Violence is a most stupid argument. A Philosopher does not consider belief or unbelief a problem.
No reason not to be a friend of, or to kill someone.

Spiritual teachings pre-existed Abraham tradition and the streams of Monotheism.

From the ancient times of civilization, the wisdom of Lao Tzu ( (604 - 531 BC ), of Buddha (around 563 BC- 483 BC), of Socrates (460-429 BC), previous to  Judaism, Catholicism or the Islam, all  have shown that simple awareness (in particular spiritual self awareness), not subjugating power, brings out the potential understanding and natural order to the mind and relationships.
Questions may be the very way to tap within for spiritual self awareness, all knowledge and self knowledge.

The repression of questioning leads to fanaticism and tyranny. The moment you create an unquestionable authority you also create hell.
The so called 'holy' wars, have nothing of holy, from the point of view of love and intelligence.
This is the tragic comedy of unreasoning, unquestioning beliefs:
All opposing parties at war, while sending each other literally to hell, in the slaughter, consider themselves the heroes, the martyrs who will go to heaven.
Is unquestioning, indiscriminate submission, convenient for the world today? Has it ever been?

Abraham's willingness not to question, but to kill even his own son, out obedience to whom he considered God,  is revered in all ramifications of this Monotheistic tradition.
Abraham has set out the example of the way of relationship of blind obedience, even in a crime, to religious authority.
To have faith in an ultimate justice is good, but can there be justice without love, without spiritual discernment??

This lack of discrimination venerated until today as sacred, combined with different interpretations and ramifications belief,  have caused the most absurd and horrific violence, injustice, crime in human history: those committed and justified  in name of God.

Since then, Monotheistic systems of Beliefs  crumble now before those who have eyes to see, when the fruits of pride of power and the blind submission (even in a crime), come to the light:
The never ending bloodbaths we see (here also on Canvas TV)  these times.

Little has humanity learned from its bloody history because horrors have even been justified by these Monotheistic religions and as said before, to project our prejudices on others or on what is, and want no discussion, is the main cause of disruption in any relationship, the source of all darkness, all hopeless conflicts in relationships.

Abraham could have stopped and asked himself  if he could trust anyone or any spirit as just and good, who would order him to murder anyone, in particularly, an innocent child. Then history would have perhaps had a much better turn.
But it is never too late. The future starts now and it starts with you.

Before true peace and understanding can reign between any of us, there must be a revolution, as said Krishnamurti, which is truly intelligent. As solving of differences peacefully, through meditation, awareness and dialogue, not mentally or physically as brute dinosaurs.

Only through the consciousness of love one can see the beauty of Nature and  the ugliness and stupidity of vanity, of greed, arrogance, also in the animals, which to the immature mind is so 'cool'.

Only love is just and no prophet and guru, savior,  holy book or anyone one has beaten love yet.

NOTE

In a film "The Other Israel"  http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xkgn49_the-other-israel-ted-pike-full-video_news#rel-page-1   presented by an American Christian preacher, it is shown how Judaism has tried to dominate the World to this day.

This priest, in a Christian  unquestioning biased view, typical of the tradition of Abraham, overlooked the fact that the Biblical Jesus was contradicting his own command 'Love your enemies' when he considered Jewish  Pharisees as less than human, and ordered them to be killed.
Luke 6:[27] "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, [28] bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.)

He shows that though perversions such as child sex abuse were justified by Rabbis in the Jewish Talmud, in the unquestioning biased  view typical of the tradition of Abraham they taught that those who are not Jewish, called Gentiles, (also Christians), were perverse, should be deprived of all property and all rights, treated in court not as equal to Jews but as less than human and that they may kill them though indirectly.

But this American Christian did not show that the Islam itself  in the same unquestioning biased view of the tradition of Abraham, tries to dominate the world, with contradicting commands about religious tolerance, telling Muslims in the Koran to consider non Muslims as less than Muslims not to befriend and even to kill Jews and Christians, at the time of its prophet.

True philosophers, as saints or holy sages, would never convert humans through the sword, but bring about enlightenment and understanding through honesty, clarity, insight and an intelligent dialogue.

MORE NOTES Koran: "Slay the enemy where you find him" (Surah 9.92). If by enemy in the Koran it is meant non Muslims, those who say LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, Luke 6:[27] " Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, [28] bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.", if by enemy in the Koran it is meant nonbelievers, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists or anyone who is so compassionate he will not kill another for a difference of belief, or even a sheep, if they are vegetarians, then the Koran is unacceptable, and Mohammed is not a saint but a false prophet.  
The Bible, especially the Old Testament, is filled with numerous stories of animal and human sacrifice.  God, we are told, likes the pleasing aroma of burning flesh.  Animal sacrifice is much more common than human sacrifice, but both occur and are "pleasing to the Lord":
  http://www.evilbible.com/Ritual_Human_Sacrifice.htm    Quote :  The Bible, especially the Old Testament, is filled with numerous stories of animal and human sacrifice.  God, we are told, likes the pleasing aroma of burning flesh.  Animal sacrifice is much more common than human sacrifice, but both occur and are "pleasing to the Lord".
  Genesis, the first book of the Bible, has Abraham preparing to sacrifice his son to God.  "Take your son, your only son - yes, Isaac, whom you love so much - and go to the land of Moriah.  Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will point out to you."  (Genesis 22:1-18)  Abraham takes his own son up on a mountain and builds an altar upon which to burn him.  He even lies to his son and has him help build the altar.  Then Abraham ties his son to the altar and puts a knife to his throat.  He then hears God tell him this was just a test of his faith.  However, God still wanted to smell some burnt flesh so he tells Abraham to burn a ram.  Even though he didn't kill his son, it is still an incredibly cruel and evil thing to do.  If Abraham did that today he would be in jail serving a long sentence as someone's prison-bitch.  It amazes me how Christians see this story as a sign of God's love.  There is no love here, just pure unadulterated evil."

Is unquestioning, indiscriminate submission, convenient for the world today? Has it ever been?


Hate is the false prophet, love is the true master.
There is no holy ground which has been won by cruel violence and hate.
Holy is the love and understanding between all people.

This idea of a God who sends anyone to hell is badly told story.
It is hate itself what creates all spiritual hell for ourselves and in this world. The God who has no mercy, no understanding but hate before human ignorance, is a mere projection of our own ego and pride of power, of  idolatry of and subservience to our own human arrogance.
