We begin by inviting all non-Muslims to Islam, the perfect and most beautiful way of life, a favour from Allah (God) to mankind totake him out of the darkness of worshipping his own desires to the exclusive worship, submission and obedience of Allah alone, without partners and to testify the Messenger-ship of the final Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). We urge you to embrace Islam and save yourselves and your family from the hellfire and not to believe the lies and distortions which the Western media and non-Islamic regimes would have you believe about Muslims and their true intentions. Islam means submission and the Muslim is the one who submits to the will of God in his life. Verily the Messenger Muhammad told us that whoever heard his name from the Jews and Christians and did not believe would be held accountable for that on the day of judgement.

I have decided to publish a section of the letter available to anyone (by clicking the link).
My reasons?
I am heartily sick, in this enlightened year of 2010, having this meaningless preamble with a religious bigot. I say so not because he is a Muslim, but because he incants the very superstitious tripe uttered by Roman Catholics and other zealots the world over. Being brought up with the Prodestant Work Ethic, my education was tested in the back streets of the Shankill Road and the Crumlin, my beliefs were reinforced by the attitudes of religious leaders from the Dominee of the Afrikaans religion, to the wishy-washy bullshit of the Anglican church led by Desmond Tutu. Perhaps the finest and most moving orator of my generation would be the Reverend Ian Paisley, but his single mindedness to his form of religion is precisely the problem I have with all religious sects and creeds.
The irony of it all is that collectively, these people could be and probably are most generous of spirit, and charitable in nature. It is that fable of superstition, that book they all refer to, that creation of mans early mind to subjugate the masses, the opiate of the people, the Bible or the Kuran, this wonderful work of mystical fiction written by the Shakespeare’s of that time…
Sorry folks. It’s time someone told them where to stick their religious bigotry. And if your Gods are offended, I’ll take my chance with their gate keeper when my time comes. Who knows, after all the Virgins have gone (to the dead martyrs), there might be a decent looking slapper for me to enjoy eternity with.
What's a virgin?
