Can't take credit for the title of this one, it's a take on a website that's crazy artertainment.
Anyway I thought a previous entry was due a little explaination. The whole jihad comment is something that is picked up from our old friend Mohammed (PBUH). The explaination for those who fail to be enlightened is simply that the greater jihad is the war we fight within ourselves. The lesser is the one we fight with the world at large that disobeys the will of God.
A friend of mine and I were sharing a bottle of wine over lunch one afternoon and we were in heated discussion over the idea that so many of the faithful find themselvesin battle over the physical people of this worlkd when in effect what our borther was saying was that the war of our own soul is so much more important in the long run--or the eternal one.
Wine encourages thought. Something that our other friend Rumi told us over and over. As we were thinking over our lunches and glasses, I mean we seriously solved the worlds problems. HA.
Here's my plan. You're having a war? You get together whith the leader, you play with some kittens and then you sit down in the kitchen for pie and ice cream. Afterwards you have some coffee with a little franjelico in. Boom. That's it. Solve youre disagreements and keep your native sons and duaghters out of it.
