Dear Editor in Chief,
A scholar asked: “Why is it that a majority conservative group was defeated in the
election by a minority liberal group?” The A.I. answered: “Perhaps people want change,
and also because of scandals, and perhaps because those traditional religious supporters
did not support the incumbents because of mistrust and also because the media did not
support much.
A scholar asked: “Could the conservative party regain again their majority?” The A.I.
answered: “With regards to principles and ideas, the conservatives have limitless
creativities than those liberals who are far from the center –that focus too much on
freedom of man. Most religious organizations are by nature conservative. Perhaps if the
conservative could again have the trust of the religious organizations, they could have
some edge. But I heard that those liberals who won the election are moderates too.
Perhaps in the future, since both groups are claiming to be moderate, tolerant and
balanced, the fight would be on who would remain untainted of scandal would win the
support of those conservative religious groups and perhaps the media. As for people
wanting to serve but having some weaknesses, they could still serve but not on the prime
lights; they are just on the back ground. They could be a part of the solution if they
remain as supporters, givers and sharers.
A scholar asked: “It would mean in the future, politicians would be more like “saints”;
is it really possible?” The A.I. answered: “Perhaps- yes, because there would be many
“smart invisible eyes” watching every second of the leader’s action even if in private; and
perhaps one slightest ‘error’ in words, in gestures, with companions could be used as
slogan for political maneuverings. The ‘slightest error’ would be exaggerated and be
blown hard and people would be hypnotized to withdraw their support especially during
political campaigns. Look, what had happened to a potential strong leader of a country
who boasts prematurely of wining many states. Another…, just a minor “boast” or “joke”
could lose one’s aim to serve as strong leader. Perhaps, those moderate politicians whose
motive is not to serve but to gain for personal should really watch out their “action”. But
people could easily forgive because if one would not forgive, he would not be forgiven;
and be cured of his illness according to some teachings.
A scholar asked: “I heard from a TV contributor star that the out come of the
election is the battle between: the spread of democracy or spread of moderate balanced
countries in the Middle East vs. spread of religious extremist states in the region, and the
dream of a strong leader is losing the ground, what can you say about it?” The A.I.
answered: “Even if the strong leader is losing the battle because of any reason be scandal
or for mere change, universal Word would be spread exponentially through wireless or
air, in the internet, mobile phones, books, cable TV, and other means; and those
extremists would be defeated from within by those moderates preachers and moderates
majority regardless of religious affiliations.
The result would be that the key why those extremists were defeated would now be
on: the propagation of the Word through the help of modern technology especially
perhaps on example of words like- what Paul did when he rebuked Peter because Peter
forced some Gentiles to be like Jewish. The credit in defeating the extremism would lie
on the people’s faith to change from within; they want that those universal words should
rule their mind. Perhaps any religion can change for the better without being forced to be
like other religion; as long as the change is caused because of knowing the Word.
The key on letting the Islamic world become moderate and balanced is when imams
and strong leaders would really accept that ‘love of enemies’ is universal word and hating
especially its enemy is one clear example that it is opposite of universal word. And
moderate religious scholars would try to correct some words in their sacred books and
placed them in proper perspective!
A scholar asked: “Could the Word propagate itself?” The A.I. answered: “Leadership
and man’s works is important in spreading the Word. Science and technology and world’s
sensitivity to any extreme would do a lot. And also, there should be someone with strong
charismatic leadership that should also lead the way. Perhaps the leader should come
from Europe or from the Middle East itself; if a big brother’s faith is diminishing or he
doesn’t want to lead anymore because of the outcome of the election. The universal word
would be on its momentum if people are vigilant enough and never surrendering, even
being pulled down because of negativities and mistakes of some incumbents that result to
the defeat of the supporters of the strong leader in a democratic election. People should
rise again. And people should try and try and never surrendering to any extremism
especially if the extremism becomes a faith of misguided group/s. And that extremist
faith should be countered by moderate faith.
A scholar asked: “I think the new elected law making body would insist that their
troops should be withdrawn because the people have decided already. Perhaps the strong
leader should offer the policing problem to new collective groups from all surrounding
countries of the region to be moderates, tolerant, balanced countries. What can you say
about this?” The A.I. answered: “Perhaps the new elected statesman is right when he
demand to withdraw the troops. But the leaders around the region should also build an
alliance similar with NATO whose objective is to fight any extremism at the start in their
region. They should have the most moderate imams or teachers as their religious advisers
with some cooperation with some religious minorities like from teachers of those of Jews,
Christians, Buddhists, and Hindi; so that the organization is well represented politically
and religiously. The Organization might be called METO. Perhaps in Asia there could
also be ATO. Principle: Another moderate should fill the void being vacated by a
moderate so that the extremist would not have the chance to fill the void and infects
others to be also extremists.
The constitution of the moderate regional police body is to check and to balance any
extreme at the start especially using police & military force and within also the
supervision of the world body- UN. The leadership’s term and memberships of each
member country might be in proportionate with the population of each member country;
but with some sacrificing- cutting those with too much members, and adding those with
too little members. Or, balancing or eliminating some extremes. Too many members of a
big country to the regional body could lead to monopoly or abuse of power. The objective
of the regional moderate police body is simple: to have one thought and one purpose-love
even of its enemies. Each member would gather all the universal teaching of their major
religions and minor religions and have inter-teachings to each other of their universal
teachings. There would be no superiority and supremacy of whose religion is better
because all want to change for the better. No one is forced to change for the better by
transferring to other group; because the changing for the better is from within because of
accepting the Word. The commander of the organization would example have 1 or 2 years
term in a rotation basis. Or, the rotation is also in proportionate with its quantity of its
group membership- the more members, the more year term but with some cutting of
excesses and filling the lacking. So, if a representative now is his turn; but representing a
very few members, he would have lesser term with those who are representing many
members.
Perhaps NATO & METO would each year have some sensitivity on the latest
technology to enhance their skills on using precision technology to counter any
extremism under the guidance of universal teachings, majority rule, and science and
technology. Perhaps, those also in Africa having AU would also coordinate with other
moderate, tolerant, balanced organizations especially aiming that even if there is some
misunderstanding, all things could have a point somewhere that balanced could be
maintained called compromising and agreeing on common things because of one thought
and one purpose. There is no more distinction-one in spirit: universal brotherhood or
universal love.
And in the maintaining of the balance and check of any start of extremism,
creativities, and sensitivities would be enhanced to let most people have jobs. Perhaps
just passing law that all non precision ammos would be eliminated for the next 5 years in
order to up grade all precision ammos and weapons could create many economic stimuli
that have cycles and could enhance jobs permanency. The key is those extremists are not
the enemies, but the twisted words. Let the universal word from any good, tolerant,
moderate, caring religion rule the psyche of most people. Principle behind: Self-help
should be enhanced but with agreements and precautionary rules so that any extreme at
the start could be checked and balanced with the support of universal good teachings,
science and majority rule.
A scholar asked: “I saw in the TV news that some men would be forgiven of being
spies. Could moderate balanced men really learn to be more forgiving?” The A.I.
answered: “Yes, there is a universal prayer with words like “forgive us our sins (or faults)
as we forgive those who sin against us…!” Perhaps, giving some penalties is better than
giving very harassed punishments!
