<!Are you sad, I mean, talking through pretty weavers?>
your own Prophets not once many many times. In case if you
have your hopes high, let me tell you a secret though today not many
nonMuslims have straightened up their act, but by the time I leave this
world insha'Allah many things will change, those who were wrong merely
will once again get better and lead the world insha'Allah. And I hope
and I pray that God gives rise to this true followers once again.

May God show those who have lost the true path, right direction again
and have mercy on us all. May God end the days of those who have no
respect for human values and who treat other nations like their
undocumented sex slaves and biolgoical weapon testing ground. May God
bring unbaised justice and truth to this world once again. May God give
us all the ability to stand up for truth and justice. wa'Salam Mohsin

Assalam u'Alekum all,

Sorry to take your time, but you may have noticed that I am not really
mailing in the way I used to mail in the past. The fact is I am feeling
really really dumb these days. Somehow I can't think and focus at all.
Not only that I can't drink coffee/cafinated drinks or eat similar
things, I start feeling a lot of pain in my brain and if I sleep during
any such period, I get some strange kind of flu and sever pain in my
brain. I some times feel pain inside the left side of my chest and left
arm. I think they have given me some biological weapon to block some
parts of my brain or affect the blood circulat
