Article: Message to Muslims

hi all i've been informed by many sources and also observed online not least because of my discussions with a variety of muslim thinkers supporters and critics that i have developed an audience in the muslim world i would first like to say that i could not be more pleased or honored that such is the case it has been so heartening to see that my biblical lectures for example attracted a large muslim audience and that the comments from the muslim watchers and listeners to my youtube channel and podcast have been so extraordinarily positive and all this is lovely to see in the aftermath of the extraordinary abraham accords which have laid out the possibility for peace between all the people of the book in an unprecedented manner and i have something to say as an extension of all of this please forgive my presumption if you would it is time for those of you in the muslim world to stop fighting among yourselves you shiites and sunnis and also time to stop regarding the christians and even more specifically the jews as your enemies why not least because you have the enemy located in the wrong place first the best place to find satan let's say is within if you think the true enemy is in someone else's heart then you haven't thought nearly long enough about the darkness within and you have therefore fallen prey to the most subtle temptation of the ancient demonic spirit so your best bet on the spiritual warfare front is to make of yourself and your muslim practice something so admirable that the light shining from your well-constituted psyches and productive generous and wise actions is so intense that people convert to your faith from sheer admiration there's a goal second far more unites you with the other people of the book as your own prophet himself peace be unto him forthrightly said than what divides you you all believe for example in a book you all believe for example in god and believe that you have an ultimate duty to that god you are all followers of a prophetic tradition and that is a tradition that unites the wisdom of the past with the vision and voice of those willing to see and speak truly and lovingly in the present and you are all threatened in a very real sense by the system of vengeful luciferian ideas that currently confronts all that is transcendent traditional and valuable on the sexual front on the familial front on the conceptual front on the psychological and sociological front and in the final analysis on the theological front so how about we all quit squabbling over trinkets and details and face the real problem and i should also point out that it is not the individual carriers of the woke politically correct degenerate neo-marxist ideas that should be regarded as the enemy either first we must take the idea that the satanic impulse within is the prime enemy with all due seriousness second we must understand that even those quite possessed by the spirit of cain that attracts and drives confused and lost people to the luciferian ideologies of the materialist utopians are in the ideal fully redeemable and only partially consumed even the committed student ideologues who have for example attacked me and others like me rather viciously are generally say 90 percent or perhaps 80 reasonable and potentially civilized people who could still see the light muslims reach across the sectarian divide shiites find a sunni pen pal communicate with someone on the other side sunnis do the same and then maybe reach out tentatively to a christian or even heaven forbid a jew because perhaps it is time for those who purport to be followers of god to act like it and to be convincing in those actions even to those whose premature cynicism and skepticism have driven them into the towers of babel constructed by the avatars of the resentful intellect is there someone in the muslim world willing to build an electronic system to bring people from the sunni and shiite community together a place where people of goodwill could reach electronically across the divide person to person and to formulate the kinds of personal trusting friendships upon which a lasting peace truly might be founded a place where jews and christians willing and eager to open communication with their muslim brothers might do just that there's a task for someone looking for a purpose and it's an open invitation to do just that if you build it they will come if you build it get in touch with me you'll figure out how to do it and i'll publicize it thank you all my muslim listeners watchers and readers for your kind attention and patience i wish you well as you strive to become the light in the world that your faith truly demands let's see if we can unite as people of the book and negotiate our way toward the paradise that we might truly and jointly attain
