Real Message of Islam vs Self Delusion

Lets detached ourself for a moment , and imagine we are above this earth an looking at all this commotion that is going on , the debate, the punches, the War, violences between all of this so call people fighting under the religious banner.

Doesnt it look funny ? up from above. for each of this indvidual or group in actuality is fighting for their own God, their mind God!

Allah, Jesus, Jehowah or Yahweh and many more names of God. This is the name handed down by our history. but the name remain a name, it is the God that we carry within our mind that actually control our behavior. We are actually trying to convince our self and the rest of the world that we, (i) our ego that there is only one true God , the one that we carry and thru him we are unique and are seen by the rest of creation. This is the God tht we push forth, and this is our biggest self delusion.
We are like a small kid showing to the whole wide world that we are a superhuman, our God is great but in a sense we never knew that what we say or what we do tarnish the purity and the beauty of islam (Subhanallah) -Maha Suci Allah - EVER PURE ALLAH,

Lately we have witness quite a dramatic argument and uproar between Islam and the West, or Christianity dominated world against Islam. Muslim are potrayed as violence and tend to justify the calling of jihad. Jihad in essence the legalization of shedding blood over non believer.
This is quite stupid in reality as both side actually are professing the same god. The one god that would like to see its people live in harmony and be part of the balance with nature and its creation.
One God One Love One Truth. But in reality the anger and the believe that each is above the other is quite disgusting in truth. Christian have started the move to evangelize the muslim world and started issuing argument and logic against the truth of Islam. Vice versa Muslim have also countered with staggering detailed and truth. And Sooooo... the debate continues.
In the middle is the peace loving members of each religious group, here are the real follower of each religious order. Thru them the real image of the religion shine forth and only thru their example and loving kindness the people around them can accept the beauty and the joy of living in this world!
I am attracted to one of the story handed down from ages ago
lets ponder a while in the truth and beuty of this story.
A muslim saint on a way to Mecca encountered a Christian Priest (or may i say saint) who is also on the way to Jeruselem, both agreed to be partner in this journey, so the story goes on the first night the muslim saint say , tonight you are my guest so i shall treat you. so the Muslim Saint prayed to God and behold a dinner was served for both of them. On the second night it is the Priest turn, so he too prayed to God and behold a dinner was also served. At this point i would like to end the dtory for you to ponder and think.
Under the same sky, the world is under one god the ruler over all creation, as such each heart can and may experience the devine accordingly such as a child who submitted his or her plea to the father. Amin
