Hallo Jeremy and all of you,

>My views are just views:

Well... And the Sufi Al-Hallaj got killed in Bhagdad dead center in the
year 922.

He was killed just because he said that Allah and he was ONE.
There was for many years a statue in the down town center of Bhagda of this
sufi.

"Mansur al-Hallaj (858-922) is one of Sufism's most controversial figures.
Executed in Baghdad for political reasons, Hallaj became famous for his
problematic saying, "I am the Real" (Ana 'l-Haqq), which can also be
translated as "I am the Truth" and "I am God." The only work of his
translated into English is the Tawasin (Ta wa-sin). It was translated by
'A'isha al-Tarjumana and is now on-line, although there are errors in the
scanned document. A collection of his Arabic poetry survives. One of his
poems, translated into English, can be found at the following link: Hallaj
on God. "

It is all --- just --- Glamour Jingle Bells...versus .The Real Alluh
Akbar...
