| Dear bretheren, the war with Israel is over |

| Your government, your social institutions, your schools, and your economy are all in ruins. Your young people are growing up illiterate, ill, and bent on rites of death and suicide, while you, in effect, are living on the kindness of foreigners, including America and the United Nations. Every day your officials must beg for your daily bread, dependent on relief trucks that carry food and medicine into the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, while your criminal Muslim fundamentalist Hamas government continues to fan the flames of a war it can neither fight nor hope to win. In other words, brothers, you are down, out, and alone in a burnt-out landscape that is shrinking by the day. What kind of struggle is this? Is it worth waging at all? More important, what kind of miserable future does it portend for your children, the fourth or fifth generation of the Arab world’s have-nots? We, your Arab brothers, have moved on. Those of us who have oil money are busy accumulating wealth and building housing, luxury developments, state-of-the-art universities and schools, and new highways and byways. Those of us who share borders with Israel, such as Egypt and Jordan, have signed a peace treaty with it and are not going to war for you any time soon. Those of us who are far away, in places like North Africa and Iraq, frankly could not care less about what happens to you. Only Syria continues to feed your fantasies that someday it will join you in liberating Palestine, even though a huge chunk of its territory, the entire Golan Heights, was taken by Israel in 1967 and annexed. The Syrians, my friends, will gladly fight down to the last Palestinian Arab. Before you got stuck with this Hamas crowd, another cheating, conniving, leader of yours, Yasser Arafat, sold you a rotten bill of goods – more pain, greater corruption, and millions stolen by his relatives – while your children played in the sewers of Gaza. The war is over. Why not let a new future begin? Many years ago, I gave a potentially very dangerous convert to Islam some sage advice. "Allah loves those that pray and live in peace, who raise their children with all the knowledge of the world they are able, who disregard slight and insult, and treat women with courtesy, in exactly the same ways as men should be treated, oppressing them not in the least." This I followed up by saying "Use your judgement. Look who Allah smiles upon in the world. The Moslem who fights, kills and dies against endless hated enemies, or the Moslem who lives a life of peace, knowledge and kindness?" I concluded with, "See how Allah even smiles more on the Christian, Jew, or even Atheist, who follow a path of peace, compared to the Moslem who follows the path of war, violence and the oppression of women and children." "Do not listen to men who say Allah loves war. Look instead to the word of Allah made truth in the world. The world is the Koran, and the Koran is always right, in all times and all places. So live in peace, always--prosper and be beloved of Allah." Now damn, wasn't that poetic? |
