Rather I think anyone who thinks they know better than other people about spiritual matters is not only deceiving himself, but poses a danger to others. Certainly history shows that to be the case. What I know is that I know little. So I don't condemn an entire group who, by their acts of charity, may have something of value to teach me. Andre: Yet this is exactly what the Dutch politician Geert Wilders, appealing to his right to freedom of speech, has done.(i.e. pretending to know better than other people about spiritual matters (the practice and experience of the Islam faith is backward [as in loony],and in this context, condemning an entire group professing that faith) Does that mean that you agree that Wilders, by appealing to his right to freedom of speech in making these statements, is posing a 'danger to others' and 'deceiving' himself? Just wondering. Platt Rather it's the Muslim ayatollahs who, in the name of Allah, promote murder. Perhaps you agree they pose a danger to others. As far as I know, Wilders has never advocated violence against those who disagree with him. Please correct me if you know otherwise.
