Muslim Scholars Pope Benedict talk Peace George Bush talks Apocalypse

Karen Fish | 18.10.2007 00:11 | Anti-militarism | World

One bad apple can spoil the bunch.



Like George Costanza being tossed out of the loop for divulging Jerry Seinfeld’s secrets to his fiancee Susan, George Bush seems to be marching to the beat of his own drummer. Russia, China and Iran are just waiting for George Bush to go all in for the Middle East oil so that together they can give the United States the worst beat ever since Alan Goering caught trip fives at the Euphrates River Commerce Casino WPT final table to crack JC Tran’s pocket AA and send him to the showers and to be interviewed by Courtney Friel.

Courtney Friel replaced Shana Hiatt as the host of the World Poker Tour when Vince Van Patten couldn’t get Paris Hilton. Nobel laureate Mother Teresa had an exorcism on her death bed and her last words to Pope John Paul II were “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Last Thursday, Oct. 11, 2007, 138 leading Muslim scholars, political leaders and religious leaders from all around the world made history by sending an olive branch of peace, a 29 page letter, to Pope Benedict XVI, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and every Christian leader worldwide. The letter and the immediate fabulous responses from the Christian and Jewish leaders world wide, including Tony Blair, can be read and downloaded at the Muslim Scholars and Leaders official website, “The Official Website of A Common Word”.  http://www.acommonword.com

In the letter the Muslim Scholars and Leaders said that because of the advanced state of nuclear technology, in which world war III and its aftermath nuclear winter and then ultraviolet summer will leave no survivors, the survival of life on earth depended upon the Muslim World and Christian World making peace with each other. The Muslim Scholars speaking on behalf of 99% of the Muslim people on earth invited Pope Benedict XVI and every Christian leader to join hands in their jointly shared belief in God the Father, aka Allah, and the Messiah Jesus Christ, (Koran Sura Chapter 3:40-43), and the two biggest commandments in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, “Love God” and “Love your neighbor as you love youself.” The Muslim Scholars and leaders website is named “A Common Word” and the word which all 3 religions have in common as their beautiful essence is the word “Love”.

In this historic and groundbreaking letter the Muslim scholars and leaders lashed out at the Muslim extremists, saying “to those who relish conflict and destruction for their own sake or reckon that ultimately they stand to gain from them, we say that our very eternal souls are also at stake if we fail to sincerely make every effort to make peace and come together in harmony. Jesus Christ said, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers’ and ‘For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?”

God of Mount Sinai aka God the Father, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, Allah, Yehovah, Elohim carved in stone Himself, “Don’t Murder” and “Don’t Steal” “Or Else I will Punish you, your children, your grandchildren and your great grandchildren!” Upon receiving the letter, Pope Benedict XVI’s head of the pontifical council for inter-religious affairs Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran said that the letter was very interesting because it came from both Sunni and Shiite Muslims like the ones in Iran, and he called the letter “a very encouraging sign because it shows that good will and dialogue are capable of overcoming prejudices.” Cardinal Tauran said that once the Vatican had time to study the letter Pope Benedict XVI would send a formal reply on behalf of the 1 billion Catholics.

Upon receiving the muslim scholars and leaders 29 page letter, The Head of the world wide Anglican Church, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams said, “The theological basis of the letter and and its call to ‘vie with each other only in righteousness and good works; to respect each other, be fair, just and kind to another and live in sincere peace, harmony and mutual goodwill, are indicative of the kind of relationship for which we yearn in all parts of the world, and especially where Christians and Muslims live together. It is particularly important in underlining the need for respect towards minorities in contexts where either Islam or Christianity is the majority presence. The letter’s emphasis on the fundamental importance of belief in the unity of God and love of neighbour is welcome. The letter rightly makes it clear that these are scriptural foundations equally for Jews, Christians, and for Muslims, and are the basis for justice and peace in the world. There is much here to study and to build on. The letter’s understanding of the unity of God provides an opportunity for Christians and Muslims to explore together their distinctive understandings and the ways in which these mould and shape our lives. The call to respect, peace and goodwill should now be taken up by Christians and Muslims at all levels and in all countries and I shall endeavour in this country and internationally, to do my part in working for the righteousness which this letter proclaims as our common goal.”

Meanwhile it appears that even though George Bush himself this week declared that “the Muslim and Jewish and Christian people all worship the same God”, no one told George Bush that the leaders of Christianity, Islam and Judaism were on the verge of bringing everlasting peace to earth themselves. The President seems to be out of the loop. Today George Bush once again threatened to attack Iran and prepared the American people for the coming American nuclear strike against Iran by saying that “the United States must bar Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons to prevent World War III.” Like Saddam Hussein, Iran doesn’t even have nuclear weapons, or nuclear fuel, or a nuclear bomb, and Russian President Vladimir Putin isn’t about to give them one, ever. It would be like President Putin giving nuclear bombs to Chechnya. It’s never going to happen.

George Bush is now going to try to accomplish his original mission and steal two thirds of the world’s oil, even if it means triggering the Apocalypse, and right when the Christian, Muslim and Jewish world leaders are coming together as one. It seems like the wrong Republican is locked up in the closet. John Lennon wrote a song about this situation called “Come Together”, here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJqNxKdgyqM in which he said of George Bush, “got to be a joker he just do what he please”, and God of Mount Sinai, “Come together, right now, over me, come together, come together, come together”.
