Book Author: Samuel P. Huntington

The Clash of Civilization and Remaking of World Order (1996)

Which brings us, at last, to Islam. Unique among the racial, religious, and
cultural civilizations that Huntington delineates and which we have added
to, it is Islam alone which demands that church, economy, and state be
governed by one eternal, unchanging, and inseparable entity, and/or
philosophy, based on the word of God as revealed to Mohammed. Without
examining the actual content of the religion, we can state that trying to
run a modern society on inflexible doctrines that are fourteen hundred years
old and were intended for a primitive people is destined to be
extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible. Considering just one central
tenet of the religion, the extreme egalitarianism that it demands, it is
evident that the modern politico-economic system that most closely
approximates Islam is Communism, and the century long experiment with
Communism proved to be a complete disaster. There is no reason to believe
that Islam will succeed where a like system failed, nor is there any reason
to believe that there is something unique about the Islamic form of
theocracy that will enable it to succeed where all other forms have failed.

There are really only two alternatives : either Islam will reform itself and
become more like the West on its own--including, most importantly,
separating church and state and accepting greater economic inequalities as
the price to be paid for greater growth in general--or Islam will be
devastated in war and will be rebuilt, even if against its will, along
Western lines, as happened in Japan after WWII. It just is not possible to
envision a scenario in which Islam succeeds in defeating the West. If, God
forbid, the West ever really had its back to the wall it would undoubtedly
unleash a thermonuclear, biological and/or chemical holocaust in the Middle
East (and probably Indonesia) which would essentially annihilate Islam. As
Victor Davis Hanson has written in his terrific book Carnage and Culture,
the single factor that has been most significant in the repeated victory of
the West in global conflicts has been the ruthlessness and finality with
which it prosecutes war. The West has been more willing than other
civilizations to utterly destroy enemies. There is no reason to believe
that it would not do so again

Fake messiah ! Don't mislead others !

Below is the TRUTH.

Your spiritual soul is only your God. All other Gods are other
spiritual souls. They cannot help you. Only your own spiritual soul
can help you.

I preach that your spiritual soul, or the One inside you, is your God
or Allah or Buddha, Tao
etc etc.
The Mark at your nose bridge is the site of Your God or Buddha etc.
It has to be SEALED so you can return back to the origin.

The world is a stage, we are only actors. We are like water droplets
that can disappear into the ocean.

Cultivate self by meditation. See http://sg.geocities.com/alex_kew/chinese/meditate.html
or http://uk.geocities.com/alex_kew/comment/taoistyoga.html .
This is the way to enlarge your wisdom.
