About the Author
DEDICATION
If I could be your saviour, your preacher, your Bible, I would—just to make you smile again, make you feel fine again.
If I were only able to bring some peace to the environment, if I could only bring joy and wipe away all tears, I would be satisfied with living.
If I could make the deaf hear and make the blind see and heal the crippled, I would be in bliss eternally.
If I could bring some joy into your life, I would take a rest.
But I feel I have been doing what I can to make it good for you.
Image%201.jpgINTRODUCTION
This book, short as it is, is enough to explain my thoughts. It is not necessary to write many words to become a good writer. It is not the number of words that determine quality, but the substance of those words.
There is politics, and the world is suffering from fascism, dictatorship, corruption, and rats chasing dough.
Justice has left the room. Laws and lawyers are bought, whether in politics, religion, or any field. There is corruption, and this is causing pain and misery in the world. On the other side, there are the fanatic, extremist beliefs of radical Islamic terrorists, radical Christian fascists, and other groups such as white supremacists. These groups make up a big part of the world’s grief.
There are of course criminals and psychopaths and other mentally sick people who cause pain and grief.
Religion teaches us how to be loving and how to care for our neighbours. It instructs us to share our wealth, feed the poor, house the homeless, and help the hopeless. Yet we have churches and so-called churches made of gold and possessing chests of gold, while outside in the streets, the citizens struggle to survive. Money has become the ruler of our society. What has become of us?
We crucify the holy man and then we write in our books that if you do not believe in his holiness, we will kill you. If you don’t believe in my God and my creed, I will kill you mentally by degrading you and calling you an apostate or an infidel.
The messenger kills the apostates because they refuse to believe in the messenger of God or Allah.
That explains why people do not want to associate with any one of these causes. Extremists behave like tyrants, psychopaths, and dictators, opposing their own and every other creed of any religion.
CHAPTER 1
What Can You Do about It?
To solve the Islamic problem, it is necessary to clarify and even delete those scriptures which contradict the Islamic creed, as fake priests have used them to enforce their own agenda. In the case of Nazi Christians and fascists, it is necessary to clear the creed of Christianity. No religion is a true religion if it advocates hate and death to others. Such advocacy that exists under the name of religion should be disqualified at once!
Politicians running after fame, greed, money, and power—not love—must be forbidden to practise their philosophical views. We must elect those who want to help the people of earth; therefore, it is necessary to elect those whose purpose is to help all humankind.
What Helps Humankind?
Each individual must have the opportunity to rise to higher education, prosperity, and good health, as well as to participate in the creation of a cultural renaissance of which we all can be proud.
These are some of the things a leader can
