AP - Unofficial Transcript of Ahmadinejad Letter to President Bush
Dear all,
I got this from a friend of mine through e-mail. Yes, it is too long, but I guess it might benefit others who have the time to read it. In this letter, the Iranian President has made courage attempt to call Bush, the most powerful person on earth, to Islam. It is indeed a very interesting letter to read.
I would like to quote this from my friend: What counts in the sight of ALlah is not its 'success' but the 'effort' we, the Muslims, had put forth during our lifetime in spreading His words. May Allah give us courage to speak the truth and invite people to the truth of Islam.
Salam,
Toriq
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5/8/2006 Mr. George Bush,
President of the United States of America
For sometime now I have been thinking, how one can justify the undeniable contradictions that exist in the international arena -- which are being constantly debated, especially in political forums and amongst university students. Many questions remain unanswered. These have prompted me to discuss so me of the contradictions and questions, in the hopes that it might bring about an opportunity to redress them.
Can one be a follower of Jesus Christ (PBUH), the great Messenger of God,
Feel obliged to respect human rights,
Present liberalism as a civilization model,
Announce one's opposition to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and WMDs,
Make "War and Terror" his slogan,
And finally,
Work towards the establishment of a unified international community -- a community which Christ and the virtuous of the Earth will one day govern,
But at the same time,
Have countries attacked. The lives, reputations and possessions of people destroyed and on the slight chance of the presence of a few criminals in a village, city or convoy for example, the entire village, city or convoy set ablaze.
