  I'd like to take a small break from my normal publishing to say something about current events. After all, posting opinions about the news is what these blogs were created to do. If you'll notice I am a recent convert to Islam. I did not convert for any reason less that faith. A revelation came to me and I will say nothing more about that. However, since that revelation I have been forced to deal with a religion that is widely misunderstood, misrepresented, and incorrectly practiced. I want to say so much about it that I could probably start a whole new blog just on that topic alone.
However, speaking from this point of view about the current events in the Middle East I would just like to say this to the world: Life is God's great gift to everything and anything and that gift should be honored and "lived". If everyone could just see Death as their enemy and not some other man then we would find peace. Yes, men make mistakes... to err is human. If that error causes Death, then it needs to be corrected, but more death is not the answer. Death begets Death. If you stop one death you will stop the subsequent death. Soon all death from human hands will stop and once we all are just living as God intended - then we can achieve anything. Another life is not the enemy. Only death is the enemy. Thank you.
