As a Sufi Muslim, I'm very ruffled by the title of your book. Did you have to settle for the literal negation of Allahbar?
>> Yes, I thought. Thank you for that question. Thank you. At the moment, it's very clear to me the most toxic form that religion takes is the Islamic form. The horrible idea of wanting to end up with Sharia, the state of religious law, and that the best means of getting there is jihad, holy war, and that Muslims have a special right to feel aggrieved enough to demand this, I think is an absolute obscene wickedness. And I think their religion is nonsense. God speaks to some illiterate merchant warlord in Arabia and it contains the answers to all you. Don't don't don't waste my time.
It's >> But you're saying the same about also that God that God speaks the archangel Gabriel speaks only Arabic. All religions claim to be revealed truth. In Islam rather dangerously says ours is the last and final one. There can't be any more after this. This is God's last word. Now that's straight away a temptation to violence and intolerance. And if you note, it's a temptation they seem quite willing to fall for. Every Allah abar reminds people that we're in a very serious struggle with a very depraved religion.
