Re: Religionist Propaganda

Noble All,
Humblest Greetings from Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

On Sunday July 15, 2007 while appreciating Noble Horst Klaus's
approaches of becoming polite while discussing with religious
believers and religionists I mentioned about my discussion with Mr.
Muneer Hussain a previous Pakistani Citizen, a muslim friend of my
liberal Sikh friend. The Original letter is pasted below for your
kind information:

Noble Horst,

Greetings from Cambridge MA, USA.

To my mind you are right. We can discuss with the Religionists and
religious believers with humility, politeness and by using all good
words even while they are rude and illbehaving. Just on July 13, 2007
I was invited by a liberal Sikh friend for dinner in his house in
fresh pond area here. He had also invited one of his Muslim friends
named Munir Hussain a previous citizen of Pakistan. The discussion
began with ALLAH and his intelligent creation. My proposition that,
no person or supernatural being like ALLAH, god or jehovah
architected this universe or earth or the animal species made him
angry. With all humility I tried my best to cool down him. But he had
sent message to my Sikh friend that he wants to argue with the swami
who insulted his religion, RASUL- mohammad and even allah. My sikh
friend's son suggested me not to go for discussion with Mr. Munir as
he doesn't bear any sense of reasoning and a highly bigoted
individual can move to any aggressive extent but his father leaves
the decision on my choice whether to discuss with him or not.

Now I stand on a cross road whether to accept his challenge or not.
Now I am in Exile in USA to avoid the bloody aggression of Brahmins
against us in our place Kurukshetra, India and if in the result of
our discussion with Mr. Munir I receive a FATWA from any muslim
Organization then I will have no place to hide from such an attack. I
seek advices from friends and fellow humanists what to do at this
situation?

Cordially,
Swamiji

and want to send message to my Sikh friend about the opinions I have
received and if Mr. Muneer Hussain asks him for the discussion then
humbly and respectfully he will decline to conduct any discussion.

I am still expecting opinions from friends.

I feel obliged to our friends who felt concerned of my wellbeing and
suggested the wisest actions to be taken at this situation to avoid
any new complications.

Cordially,
