Darren Rowe Berlin a heart of the Muslim in regard to the writers who Are apparently unaware that the same one who created Faith created logic. Third Grade math taught us the distinction be tween less than equal to and greater than. The gospel a according to John 14 28 a records the anointed messenger As saying a my father is greater than  perhaps these writers should let their theology refrain from mesmerizing them. Islam translated Means submission to the will of i am god Allah Jehovah Jah great spirit or whichever name a particular culture recognizes As a supreme existence. Miracle muslims recognize i am. Muslim translated Means an individual entity or any aspect of existence which chooses to submit his personal will to the will of the supreme existence without adding partners. The will of the supreme existence interpreted by muslims is manifested in the experiences of love forgiveness Faith Freedom Charity and the abolition of idolatry and oppression. Muslims historically and futuristic Al by feel All the messengers prophets Prophet esses and elements of existence the Sun the seasons the wind the planets the atom and the egg obediently submit to the will of the supreme existence. Muslims do not differentiate Between Moses Jesus Mohammed sitting Bull Woronka Nat Turner or any messenger and feel that the worship of any messenger goes against the will of the supreme existence and in essence is betraying the spirit of prophecy. Racism sexism materialism and narcissism Are considered to be the modern Day idols of those who choose not to submit to the will of i am exodus 3 14. As islam becomes More a part of the modern world i Hope this statement can give an inside View of the Core of the heart of the Muslim. After Reading this perhaps quite a few individuals will awaken to find the old saying a fall children Are born Muslim but some become victims of Bea theology a a saying of unnecessary buts.

They can buy a gun on the Street including Tull automatics easier than 1 can buy one in a store. I used to Juye in Houston. I know. A recent writer attempts to compare crime rates Between America and Europe. That is like comparing apples to oranges. Europeans in general Are More disciplined than americans. Americans in general Are rebellious and violent by nature. Look around you a american kids Are loud Rowdy rough and Tumble. German kids Are quiet docile and orderly. Insult a German and he will take you to court insult an american and he will take your head off. Until we Start enforcing the Laws we already have and enact some severe punishments for abuse of alcohol drugs and firearms we Are going to continue to Lave senseless loss of life and property.

Summarizing his theory was Freedom of Choice is guaranteed by Freedom of speech and an unwanted unloved child with no future is better off being aborted. He also stated it is economically unfeasible to make institutions for All the unwanted and unloved babies. Lets further apply his theory. It is also too expensive to House All the homeless. So Why not begin systematic extinction of them. But of course Why Stop there. We spend thousands of dollars on the mentally handicapped. The Only difference Between this and abortion is that a baby has not been born yet. Who is he or anyone else to decide that that baby does no to deserve to have a Chance in life because it might not have the Best life 1 am also tired of the Quot right to death Erst claiming that if abortion is made illegal they will have to go Back to clothes hangers. Should we legalize Drunken driving just because people Are going to do it anyway a Petty officer 1st class Stephen r. Morris Stuttgart German Horvath was wrong this is in response to command sgt. Maj. George Horvath Illus rebuttal of ugly americans. In a real glad that he agrees that there Are a some of us who go a Little far with loud music and maybe Quot some of our children do act letters to the editor up. Unfortunately it is the same a some of us i think its More who stick out like a sore thumb thus giving the ugly american his her title. Furthermore i done to buy the comments about the writer failing  a on the spot  is he supposed to interrupt his dinner or whatever to Chase after cars to Tell the occupant to turn Down his music i  would you when was the last time Horvath was at a Schwilm bad obviously All the ugly americans Are on their Best behaviour when he is around. What he does no to see is what happens after he leaves. Last week about 15 or so gis  control themselves when a sunbathe removed her top. They were Yelling Many rude comments. Also i saw about five teen agers shouting to one another about what they will do to each sunbathe who had her eyes closed. I did no to see any of my German friends act like this. In a sure Many germans went Home that Day with a bad taste of americana in their Mouths. My Point is that there Are ugly americans out there. Making on the spot corrections getting out of the army or renouncing your american citizenship will not change that fact and i resent a command sergeant major thinking so. A staff sgt. Glenn a.
