OR: Understanding what “Allah Akbar” really means.)
Before we get into the nitty gritty of the subject, Rooster wants to introduce you to a Pooka. His name is Winston . He appears as e a very large orange cat. He attaches himself to Rooster where ever he goes. Never purring, but always attentive. If cats are inquisitive then” Winston” is the best evidence of that. His orange eyes can cut right through B.S. and enlighten truth. As with all Pookas he is mischievous. Do not be surprised by his appearance in the future.
Blind faith is not unique to Islam. It is a part of every religion. Even Buddhism, called by many a non-Religion, has blind faith. Evan an atheist has blind faith. His is that there is no God. Going beyond Religion, strong Faith is a very important part of the human’s existence. It can be faith in your spouse, faith a Judge will be fair, faith the sun will shin every day of your life. Faith may be as simple as the faith you have that the man coming down the street, to you. will not harm you. It becomes Blind when you will not question it or allow others to do so. Said differently, faith is a driving force of relationships. It is a glue that binds one to the other. Faith provides protection and answers for many. If you are a Christian you believe Jesus is the son of God and that is it. If you are Jewish you believe Jesus was not the son of God and that is it. Neither will allow disagreement. All of us, every day have faith in many things. To be able to question them without bias or prejudice, in a purely intellectually and logically way, is a talent few have.
Rooster has had a life long interest in submarines and the courage of those who serve upon them. Talk about faith, especially in the days of WW I and 2. He just finished a book titled “Suicide Submarine” It’s Japanese title was, “The Keiten Weapon” and its author, Futaka Yokota. This man trained as a carrier pilot in Japan in WW 2. He received word of the need for volunteers for a new and different weapon. He volunteered knowing it probably meant he would die with the weapon. Already he was aware of Japanese pilots who were willing to crash their planes into enemy targets. His new task was to navigate the Keiten. The Keiten was a torpedo with enough space for the volunteer to sit inside and steer it to their mutual destruction. Now the Japanese, during WW 2 and even now were mostly Buddhists. Their relationship to their Emperor, their Country, their Families was hugely focused. One might use the word fanatical. There was no end to their sacrifice, without question, for their homeland. It was not just the “Divine Wind” of the Kamikaze. It was in the foot soldier on Guadalcanal who threw himself into the bullets of U.S. Marines, and these Keiten drivers. Their Blind Faith in their place was so great, death meant nothing if it helped. Today Muslims are not welcome in Japan.
The strength of faith is everywhere. Just driving a slow car on a freeway is filled with faith. No religion has existed without it’s presence and abuse. Saluting the flag and singing the national anthem, is part of developing national faith.
But all things in life must be in balance or they will spin out of control and crash. The same can be said of faith. Just look at the cool-aide which was given by the right Reverend Jones. Every day, in every way, people are becoming aware of a chilling effect when someone crys, “ ALLAH AKBAR”. The human who yells that his God is Great”, is also saying yours is not. His is a cry of deviance and challenge. It is a bad example of blind faith.
Whether it is the Communist Chinese charging the lines of our Soldiers in Korea, or the men who fell with Custer in the 7th Cavalry, or the soldiers and sailor of any war who have faced the fanatical charge of their enemy, there is but one solution. It is either them or us. You do not reason with Blind Faith. The Koran demands Blind Faith, if you are a Muslim. There is no middle ground. There are so few who question the Koran, from within, that they are not a source of assistance. The Non-Muslim world can no longer put up with this Blind Faith and expect to survive. The Non-Muslim world cannot question a Muslim’s faith. The non-Muslim world cannot undue 1,300 + years of ingrained theocracy and brain washing. The Muslin will not assimilate and will not co-exist if andwhen they have power. The non-Muslim world has no alternative. Strategically the Muslim has made the choice. Tactically the Muslim may have made it too soon. Good day Winston wherever you are.
