This is an example as good as any of the problem with the TMO: the apparent inability of its members a/o critics to ignore what i's founder is actually saying - let alone understand what He is saying when they actually calm down enough to give Him some attention. What you are hinting at is a 'human' solution. The Rajas tool set is based on Natural Law which means that the situation will be 'resolved' by the Natural Law meaning of that concept in human affairs (i.e. resolved) - and not any human assumptions about it. Here are a few guesses how this may play out: (1) Islam has reached the end of its allotted life-span and dies either by muslims converting to Judaism or Christianity or by becoming secularized. A less probable process, given the Raja's tool set, is Dutch Muslims being burned in their thousands at stakes along the canals. A natural calamity could also kill them all, though such calamities usually don't discriminate between who's who when they strike. (2) Muslims in Holland become more and truer Muslim as their cultural integrity strenghtens, at the same time something else happens with their mindset, something that makes them adopt a live-and-let-live attitude toward their hosts and neighbours. (3) Should the tools in the tool set prove to weak or be applied ion the wrong manner, Muslims might win in their attempt to Middle-Easternize the rest of the world - i.e. pull everyone else down in to the gutter with them. What ever will happen - do not expect a human government to be part of any of the constructive possibilities listed above. ------------------------ Yahoo!
