Re: On Wahhabism (1 of 3)

Goa's phone numbers change from Nov 10, 2002. Prefix old number with a 2. New 
numbers will be seven-digit 2XXXXXX (where XXXXXX is the old number).

     Mohammed Ali is currently in Kabul making waves. He is much liked by 
those he is meedting as UN Ambassador who travels along. I wonder if he will 
go to Khandahar or anywhere up in the North. I would wish that he would have 
travelled to Kashmir to settle the dispute with Pakistan. Reporting should be 
done by a Goan correspondent.  

       I wonder if he has four wives. I am appaled by the Swazi King's 
promiscuity and he is collecting young girls as wives and in fact presented 
his brother with one. He thinks that he is collecting stamps and coins. He 
has already got 10 stamps (wives) and there was controversy about the last 
kid he 'abducted'. He is not a Muslim though and I hope he does not try and 
break the Prophet's record of 14 wives. His last wife Aiysha was only nine 
and the daughter of Aby Bakr his right hand man. 

        No one seerms to condemn such practices. They are all chicken. A 
layman in Iran, a friend of Khatami has been condemned to death for stating 
like Taslima Nasreem that the Holy book ought to be revised (not the Thorah 
or Bible). They only use the first edition published much after the death of 
the Prophet. I better not go further of there will be a Fatwa on my head from 
a Kashmiri. Khamenei has asked that his sentence be reviewed after protests 
from liberal minded Iranians.

       I have chosen to convert to Chrismus. A new religion which makes me a 
Christian above the belt and below the belt adhere to another religion. Then, 
I could marry many times.

            Very good to know about Wahabism. A degenerate form of Saudi 
expression of Islam. Women are not allowed to drive a car. No Christian 
Church may be built in that country though Saudi money is building many 
mosques like one in Rome and Goa. Their logic is not my logic.

        I am glad I live in a country where the freedom of expression is 
guaranteed. And Bush is looking after me, checking my postings and laughing 
loud.
