Yesterday I had the chance to have a delightful, free-wheeling conversation with a very articulate, highly successful young lady — on the cusp of 30. She had a degree in marketing & had been a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force for 4 years. Both her parent were also U.S. Air Force & one of them was quite famous. She was quite the lady. She impressed me no end. I would have been beyond proud to have her as a daughter. She was an overachiever & I admire than in folks.

Well, given her maiden name, which was iconic Eastern European we ended up talking about religion. Yes, as I had suspected she was born a Catholic. But, she volunteered that she was ‘no longer’. I, as is my wont, asked he if she still believed in God. She did. We started talking about her beliefs.

She started talking about all the other Gods (or gods) & happen to mention ‘Allah’ as one of the OTHER Gods. I had to stop her … in her tracks.

She, nearly 30, a B.A. degree — & moreover 4-years in the USAF with 6-months in Kuwait — did NOT know that Jews, Christians (like her) & Muslims worshipped & believed in the same God!

That was news to her!

I am AMAZED that the U.S. military does not, at a minimum, teach such BASIC religious precepts to its OFFICERS! How can you spend 6 months in Kuwait without knowing that the calls to prayer were for the SAME God that she believed in.

This is bad. This is sad.

We need to put an end to this. Wouldn’t you agree.

Three religions — Judaism, Christianity & Islam — SAME GOD.
That is sacrosanct.

Just Saying That The CRAZY ‘ISIS’ ‘New Zealand’ Knife-Attacker Is ‘Sri Lankan’ Is So Misleading & Unfair!

Well, if you hadn’t already heard about it, I give you some ‘Google News‘ feeds above.

Though I have NOT been a Sri Lanka citizen or subject as of 1983 I still have to kind of identify myself as one since I was born there. So, to see headlines like this distresses I, no end. [Just for the record, I am a very proud & patriotic Brit.]

It was just like the infamous ‘Shoe Bomber‘ in 2001. He was initially thought to be Sri Lankan. I took a LOT of grief & abuse. He proved to be far from Sri Lankan. He was British.

This NZ maniac, who has now been identified by the Sri Lankan authorities as ‘Ahamed Adhil Mohamed Samsudeen‘ is, alas, a Sri Lankan. So, we have to deal with that. But, I lay quite a BIT of the blame with the (lovely, generous & kind) New Zealanders. Yes, I do.

This maniacal idiot entered NZ on a student visa in 2008. That was NZ’s call.

Less than 10% of Sri Lankan’s are Muslims & most of them are NOT radical!

So, it is kind of unfair that there is now a perception that Sri Lanka has radical muslims.

NZ had this idiot in JAIL for 3-years. They only released him 2-months ago. AGAIN, NZ’s call.

NZ could have deported him.

I am hugely fond of NZ & its good people. But, in this instance their kindness has yet again been abused.

I just wanted to present the Sri Lankan side.
