<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">INTRODUCTION:</span></em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">“Our world has an expiration date. It ends at a specific time, with a specific event, on that day that is marked on a calendar more than 2,000 years ago”*of which only God knows.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">As this time clock ticks, human population is dramatically increasing; natural resources and agriculture land is shrinking while diseases and poverty are globally spreading, and the chances of third world countries obtaining sufficient technology and money to offset such calamity are grim<strong><em>. It is inevitable that extinction of humanity will occur</em></strong>.<span id="more-169"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Scientific studies</span></em></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">have determined that Existence of Earth along with all forms of life in its biosphere is depending on the nuclear reaction occurring at its core. This energy is Earth’s life source. Yet, scientists estimate that in approximately 4.5 billion year such reactions will cease, since Earth’s core had already consumed about 50% of its nuclear energy.<span> </span>As a result, Earth and all life forms on it will vanish. Ironically towards the end earth will not wither and fade away instead it will increase its energy emission. As a result, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis will be prevalent worldwide</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Such an ominous scenario is prophesied in most <strong><em>religions.</em></strong> They are also groups and/or individuals” who uses divination, spiritualism, sorcery, or occult practices to prophase the future, which I is not acknowledge </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">. However this process is accelerating at a precarious rate due to <strong>manmade intervention</strong>: <strong>Global Warming, wars or perhaps both.</strong></span></em><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> I will address each mentioned scenario that may lead to our demise:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Religions</span></span></em></strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span></em><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In Islam: the “<strong><em>QURAN</em></strong>” (about 644-650 A.D) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Surah 99; 1-8 the Earth Quake (AZ-Zilzal).<span> </span>This Surah takes it name from the word ZILZAL (violent Quake) in the 1<sup>st</sup> verse. It is concerned with important events that take place on the day of resurrection.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE ALL- MERCIFUL THE ALL COMPASSIONATE.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">1-<span style="color: red;">When the Earth is severely quaked</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">2- <span style="color: red;">And the Earth yields its heavy burden</span>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">3- And man enquires “What is the matter with it?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">4- On that day, it will recount all its tidings</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">5- As your lord has inspired it to do so.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">6- On that day, all humans will come forth in different companies, to be shown their deeds (that they did in the world).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">7-And so, whoever does an atom of good will be see it</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">8- And who does a atoms of weigh of evil will see it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“The verses are, both in writing and meaning, possibly relating major events during the final destruction and rebuilding the world, or they may be referring to earthquakes in general. During the final destruction of the world, the earth will be shaken with violent shocks (surah56;4) by a violent blast of the trumpet (Surah 79;6). The mountains will be as a heap of slipping sand (surah 73;14) and the earth flatten out (surah 84;3) casting forth whatever is in it and becoming empty (surah 84;4). The ground will be overturned and bring out their content (Sura 82;4) In short, during that destruction whatever is in the earth (mines, treasures, and dead bodies-will be throw out. then the first blast of the trumpet will be filled by a second (Surah 79;7), and the dead will be revived and hasten toward the plan of gathering (Sura 50;44/70;43) The unbelievers will witness the destruction of the world, and they will be greatly shaken also by the second blow of the trumpet and revival. Thus, the unbeliever will come to understand the truth of DOOMSDAY, and everything about it will be revealed to them. They will also come to see the truth of what ever God’s messengers brought from God. After the resurrection, the earth may relate all the deeds done on it during its worldly life by God’s making. It speaks literally in some fashion, as he will also make human bodily, organs speak against the humans (Surah 41;20-21)”</p>

Furthermore, the type of the catastrophe is determined by Geographic locations, and the types of G.W emissions. However, it is known by scientist that pollutants and toxicity do travel through the hemisphere in form of clouds. As an example, “Brown Clouds” are Global warming gases (sooth, and toxics) that starts from Asia and travel to North America, leaving a trail of death and sickness. Similarly, regions in different continents may be affected by floods. For example, as Glazer melt in Himalayas not only is Asia effected but also the west coast of N.A in mountain ranges of Rockies, and Sierra Nevada.<span> </span></span></p>

Not only Asia will be affected, but also scientific models has projected that west coast of N.A. in the range mountains of Rockies, and Sierra Nevada will affected, as glazers continue to melt. Ultimately the Global Economy will be affected at a scale we had never seen, and industrialized nations may be paralyzed in ability to help and assist Nations that are hit by such environmental catastrophes.</span></p>

Such objective could be achieved by addressing Global Warming where all nations, including developing countries, such as India and China, are participants in Kayo Protocol, and an emphasis placed on new technology and sensible goals: to obtain at least 350 parts per million of CO2 in our atmosphere as compared to today amount of 385 PPM. Scientists claim that the former amount is the threshold to maintain stability and predictability in nature. This stability was the most important prerequisite for evolution of human civilization over the last 10,000 years.</span></p>

Yet regardless of science, as humans we have instincts or a “sixth sense” which has helped humanity through some of the most difficult periods of existence, and I plea with you to use it against the greatest threat to humanity:<span> </span>Just look North and see the ozone hole deteriorating each day, spreading through<span> </span>Antarctica to S.A effecting<span> </span>Chile and Argentina; or listen to the oceans and hear its roars in<span> </span>South East Asia, or breathe the air in the inner cities and feel its pollutants, or hold its soil to feel its toxicity caused by factories.</span></p>

However, The situation in the Middle East is complex that involves several variables such as balance of power, economic situation, Religious sect, education, Imam of region, geographic location and perhaps profound emotions of hatred that may have originated for centuries and is extended into today’s issues by political leaders and/or religious leader- in order to achieve their personal agenda.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Neurochrome;">***********</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Muhammad (born in 571 A.D. in Mecca, Arabia), was doing trade business on behalf of his wife “Khadija”, with good reputation between Mecca’s people for his honesty. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Usually, He used to go next to a cave in Mecca for seclusion. When He was forty years old, one day while He was next to that cave, He heard a voice saying: <strong>“READ”….. </strong>So, Muhammad, who was illiterate, answered: “I cannot read or write”. Then the voice said <strong>“Read in the name of your God who created, created the man from a sperm”. </strong>He went back to his wife shaken and terrified. However, He realized it was the archangel Gabriel (Gebril) giving a message from GOD. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">That was in Fact the first verse (Sorah) of the “Quran”. </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">More verses followed, and after several more verses, Muhammad started preaching that “ALLAH” is the only God and the Idols worshiped by the pagans of Mecca should be abolished. He had a few believers, but the majority of Mecca’s people, including the leaders terribly rejected to believe his message to the extent of serious death threats.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">As a result, fearing for his life and listening to his followers advice, He escaped from Mecca by night and moved to Medina, where he was met by heartily welcome. That move was called migration (hijra) and that date was later considered the start of the Muslim calendar (AH).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">From Medina He continued preaching for that new religion, which was called “<strong><em>Islam</em></strong>”, and the followers called “<strong><em>Muslims</em></strong>”. He gained so many followers. When He was strong enough, He marched with his followers to Mecca. He won the battle and Mecca became under his control. After that He marched and fought several battled, after which He succeeded in spreading Islam in all Arabia.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">He died in 632 A.D. and his death wish was to conquer Egypt.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">After the death of Muhammad, his successors to lead Islam were named “<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Caliphs”.</span> Each of the first three was Chosen by the elders of Muslims. In addition to the title of Caliph, each was called also “Seddiq”, which means in Arabic faithful friend, the Caliphs started as follows:</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Civilization has made great strides in development of society. We have evolved from where kings once ruled in a brutal totalitarian manner to a democracy that accepted the use of slaves prior to the civil war. Today we have plateau to where Obama Barack is the President  of the USA<span id="more-130"></span><br />
Although the democratic system of government has proven itself as progress continues, erosion of fundamental values of society is evident and continues to escalate.<br />
The universal financial crisis, political corruption, regional conflicts, and failure in the health care system are examples of such desecration of values. In addition, environmental issues range from floods, record temperatures and Glazers melting in Antarctica while failing to draft a effective Kayo Protocol are examples of such desecration of values.<br />
The recent financial crash and corruption current chares, whether at the local level or Nation level, appears unrelated to environs issues but is not. Greed that cased the said issues also transgress to the monetary gains vs. environment policies. Resulting in the new epoch of the world where there is irreparable damage to the environment.<br />
Similarly, War and the environmental issues appear unrelated; yet they are not. As Global Warming gases increases due to human intervention, extreme weather conditions result, destroying certain regions while reviving others. Furthermore civilizations have proven to migrate in areas of richer resources. Consequently wars are fought over such conflict sand continues to escalate to-date. In addition when greed of political leaders is factored into the equation, catastrophes are inevitable.</p>
<p>Unless drastic changes are made to correct the root causes of such imprudent policies, through misguided values, there will be a world in Perl, spreading chaos and death, to our further generations.<br />
Although the solution seems difficult, it is not. Regardless of being atheist or not; regardless of religious beliefs; still, everyone can enjoy a moral happy life, based on some (religious ) standards and beliefs: SUSTAINABLE LIFE STYLE<br />
As a result, the reduction of greed and over abundance will make It slightly easier to achieve peace, in addition we can attempt to coexists in harmony with nature by choosing effective policies rather monetary gains.<br />
BUT HOW CAN THIS BE ACHIEVED?<br />
As individuals we may first begin with small sacrifices to reduce carbon emissions and conserve energy:<br />
•	Change to efficient lighting<br />
•	Disconnecting appliances when not in use<br />
•	Curbing heating and cooling temperatures<br />
•	Replace windows with energy efficient isolated windows<br />
•	Adjusting shower head on low flow<br />
•	Use M.T.A when possible<br />
•	Walk or bike to your destination if possible<br />
•	Choose energy efficient appliances<br />
•	Insulation of house<br />
•</p>
<p>Yet more significant sacrifices may be on the waiting list rather than waiting for technology<br />
The next phase, if chosen requires more sacrifices where profound introspection into our values, goals and happiness are required. For some people it may require day, for other it may take months or may they may need years, while some will never change<br />
•	A 70hour a week job paying more as opposed to a 40 hr a week job paying less.<br />
•	A 3 bedroom house vs. a 6 bedroom house, or a smaller affordable apartment vs. larger more expensive apartment<br />
•	Reduce unnecessary consumption when basic living requirements are fulfilled.<br />
•	Choosing a politician with a Eco-friendly plan for the environment although his/her views do not 100% coincide with yours.<br />
•	Buy hybrid vehicle while forsaking style and image.<br />
Although the said solution may shrink the GNP, it is rather a investment into the future .According to the stern report such investments into the environment( or life style)will offset cost tenfold  due to Global Warming  Damages. But each minute in you analyst of yourself, pondering in such dilemma the Environment has deteriorated:<br />
a.	The Ozone hole continues grown<br />
b.	Pollution in inner-cities has increased the Asthma, Diabetes, and Kidney cases.<br />
c.	Glazer has continue to melt<br />
d.	More species have entered the endangered species list<br />
e.	Potential Region conflict increases as flood, droughts and agriculture and live stock is destroyed<br />
f.	Ocean level rises<br />
g.	More GHG enters the atmosphere causing irreparable damage<br />
h.	more  ocean corals are destroyed<br />
i.	ocean temperatures continues rises<br />
j.	human mutation continues at a faster rate due to environmental changes<br />
k.	Global Economies are closer to crashing to due exorbitant cost of global warming damages<br />
l.	Our future  generations is more likely to inherit a world in Perl<br />
m.	 Environmentally related deaths continues to escalate</p>
<p>n.	A Effective Kayo Protocol is less likely to be drafted as our imprudent life style continues. The current Kayo focuses on&#8221;trade&#8221; and &#8220;cap&#8221; of carbon emissions rather than the elimination of carbon with new  technology.</p>
<p>o.	Eco-system is further destroyed</p>
<p>p. We have less time living in harmony with nature.</p>
<p>q.  Ozone protecting earths atmosphere grows thinner.</p>
<p>r.  Skin cancer continues to rise</p>
<p>s. Trees continues to die</p>
<p>t. Average life span is lowered especially in developing countries</p>
<p>u. Delay of new Eco-friendly technology is delayed</p>
<p>t.  Cost line property continues to deteriorate</p>
<p>u. Forest fires continues to escalate as extreme condition persist.</p>
<p>v. The ultimate end of humanity grows closer.</p>
<p>x.  The morality rate of children especially in inner cities continues to escalate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Introduction<br />
Since the beginning of creation, women influenced the faith of humanity:<br />
In the Bible, Eve tempted Adam to eat from the forbidden tree. The consequences of disobeying God’s rule were eternal and tragic. In Hinduism the trinity (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva) are cursed till eternity by a Goddess Brahma’s wife (Sarsiwattie) due to Brahma’s infidelity. Such illustrations of Holy Scriptures are more that God’s account of events but also illustrations of Dharma or rather illustrations when Dharma’s are not applied.<span id="more-108"></span><br />
Yet, to date, it is clear that “lessons are not learned”.  The women’s violations and/or their disobedience to the rules of the Holy Scriptures, had contributed to the sacrilege of religion and ultimately to civilizations. Consequently, it resulted in: Turmoil, Chaos, and Death of Hundreds of Millions of Humans.<br />
In short:  HELL is created on Earth.</p>
<p>Divine Rules Broken<br />
Christianity:<br />
First the Church was one, then it was divided into: Roman Catholic (the west, west Europe) and Rom Orthodox (the Orient, East Europe and Middle East) although the Roman Catholic Pope in Rome was of great power and Influence. The Orthodox believed in a strict interruption of the bible, and would rather choose not to have a pope. Thus the first separation resulted.<br />
Yet, the main rifts were a result of rules pertaining to women which, for Catholics are as follow:<br />
a) Clergies should never marry or had been married before.<br />
b) No divorce for married persons, for any reasons except adultery.<br />
The crucial division in the Roman Catholic Church was in time of King Henry VIII of England. In that time England was a domain of the Catholic Church. King Henry VIII liked to have a new wife every now and then. The first wife, he got annulations of marriage from the Pope in Rome on the basis that she lost her sanity. The second wife was executed after a false accusation of adultery. When He wanted to replace the third wife, The Pope will not grant him any solution to get rid of that marriage. Consequently, He took the decision splitting from the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, and made the Church of England independent, with Him at the top of that Church.<br />
Woefully, Martin Luther came to start another division from the Catholic Church. Because of his desire to get married, which is basically against the Church rules, he revolted and started the Protestant doctrines where He aborted saint state ship and opened the door for easy divorce and remarriage. As a result, millions accepted and followed the Protestant church.</p>
<p>Hindu mythology:<br />
(There are thousands of mythologies in Hinduism, with some more popular than others). One of my favorite is as follows)<br />
The ultimate example of betrayal and wrath is illustrated by the Hindu Goddess- Sarsawatie:<br />
In The alignment of the constellations, which occur once every several thousand years, A Pooja (prayer) is required. Therefore, all the Gods consecrated for this auspicious moment. Brahma is to sit with his wife Sarsawatie as the prayers are performed, but as the alignment of the planets grew closer, Sarsawatie was absent. So, Brahma sent Vishnu to their home to personally fetch Sarasawati. When Vishnu arrived there, she told him that she will be there soon. But Brahma was impatient, He then sent Shiva to find a bride. Shiva brought back a woman by the name Gaytri. She was tending sheep on a farm, and, was very reluctant to marry Braham since she knew he was already married, but Shiva eventually persuaded her. The marriage took place immediately.<br />
As the Pooja is performed with Brahma’s new wife, Sarsawatie arrives.  Irate Sarsawatie interrupts the Pooja and asks for an explanation. Brahma explains to her that the pooja is vital and requires a consort. Therefore he had no choice but to find a new wife.<br />
With profound feelings of betrayal, disregard, and anger, she curses everyone at the pooja: Brahma is to lose his status as the ultimate God. As a result Shiva and Vishnu are the mainly worshipped throughout the globe by Hindus.<br />
Shiva and Vishnu will have misfortune with their wives. In India’s Holy Scriptures this is exemplified when Sati (Shiva’s wife) tosses herself in flames because of her father’s disrespect to Shiva. And Sita, the wife of Vishnu (now incarnated as Rama) gets abducted.  After rescuing her, he had doubts about her chastity. Overwhelmed with dismay she tries to commit suicide by throwing herself in fire, but Agni, God of fire refuses to take her. She then surrenders herself to Mother Earth, which opens the ground and swallows her.<br />
Undefeatable Indra (warlord of storms and lighting) will lose his status. Consequently Indra was defeated in several battles and is no longer to be feared by his adversities.<br />
Gaytri was not to be blamed; she was made a household name: Most Hindu temples have the “Gaytri Mantra” engraved on their walls. It is the most popular mantra to Hindus.<br />
Holy Scriptures written after the above pooja is consistent with the preceding event that occurred: Vedas, Gita, Ramayan, Upanishad, etc. “Sarsawatie” is the mother of all arts, education, speech, science and knowledge. She is also associated with purification and cleansing; it is claimed that water falls from heavens leading to Sarsawatie’s   river. Even before the Ganges River, Sarsawatie’s   river establishes the scarcity of water and is an early example of the sacredness of the environment.</p>
<p>Islam:<br />
The covering of women’s heads, as well as men, was a tradition in that era (sixth century) in the Middle-East. In addition, Women wore long dresses and men long robes. It was a practice in Christianity and Judaism, even before Islam.<br />
The wearing of veils and covering faces and hairs of women (Burkua) started during the Ottoman Empire, when their armies started invading the Arab Countries, and their soldiers going on rampage of kidnapping and raping girls and women .<br />
Accordingly, to protect their women from the rampage of the invading armies, the local leaders and tribal chieftains had to impose some restrictions of covering their faces and bodies, and hiding them from  the public, where they can only travel after sunset.<br />
Later said restrictions were associated with religious interference, and became harsher by local leaders backed by fake Imams, going so far as even to ban education for all females.  Those new restrictions gained popular blessing and encouragement in some of the Middle East and/or Far-East Muslim Countries.<br />
The plateau of social mistreatment of women is claiming the implementation of (Sharia’a). In fact this Arabic word meaning applying the divine rules of the “Quran”.<br />
THAT IS A FALSE USE OF THIS WORD. But it is used mostly by dictatorships in nations where poverty and lack of education are prevalent where they can now justify executions and lashings.  Unfortunately, that is still going on and justified by claiming “S H A R I ‘A”!<br />
The “Quran” does not advocate the abolishment of women rights! The “Quran” does not indicate that women are second degree humans. The “Quran” does not ban education of girls and women!<br />
Nor does the Quran have dress codes.</p>
<p>Islam expanded and flourished without such harsh restrictions on women; starting from the time of Prophet Mohammed, till the Abbasid’s dynasty (750-1258 AD).  At the later period, the Arab Islamic Empire reached the top in knowledge, science and social life, with women contributing to such accomplishments.<br />
Judaism:<br />
In the Ten Commandments “Do not look to the wife of your neighbor”; but in many cases men were killed so their wives could be taken. Even David committed such horrific acts; consequently, he was condemned by the Lord where his first son not be King from such a woman.</p>
<p>Conclusions:</p>
<p>Not even Gods can refute the rights of Goddess, and when they are violated, Chaos, turmoil, and misery results. Heaven is transformed into hell, according to Hindu mythology.<br />
Similarly, the laws regarding women in Divine Scriptures (Bible and/or Quran) are just as sacred and should not be disobeyed, rewritten, or misinterpret .<br />
History is evident as to the outcome of humanity when said laws are desecrated:<br />
In Christianity: The selfish desire of one king, who was a womanizer (Henry VIII) and had several wires; or revolt of a religious person, who wanted to break the rules (Martin Luther) in order to get married are violations of Divine rules. As a result, the Church of England became separated from Rome, and the Protestant Doctrine was created, respectively; thus millions of followers left the Roman Catholic Church.  Ultimately, these divisions and indifferences fueled prejudices, discriminations, racism, terrorism and ethnic conflicts, which are still going on to date, and have contributed to millions of death throughout the ages.<br />
In Hinduism:<br />
Ironically, misinterpretation of Holy Scriptures has results in the suicide of millions of women throughout India. When Shiva is not invited to his father-in-law’s Pooja, his wife, Sati, felt disgraced and disrespected.  However, she attends the Pooja alone. As a symbol of her love for Shiva, she tosses herself in fire in front of her family. Unfortunately, Hindu society interpreted this act as Loyalty and Devotion of a “faithful wife”. Consequently, for centuries, widows have committed suicide by burning themselves to death on their husbands’ funeral pyres. The British stopped the practice known as “Sati” after the colonization of India.</p>
<p>In Islam: the implementation of such rules are claimed to be originated from the divine rules of the “Quran”, while, in fact, such rules are “man created” and mainly against Women. Its application in the Middle East and/or in the Far East is impede and regressed the development of society, and is happening in nations where poverty, ignorance, and lack of education are avail.<br />
Their target: is to empower the fanatic leaders, misusing religion, and legalize their unquestioned rulings and tight control, giving them a free hand in false accusations, executions and lashing against whoever dares to oppose their powers.<br />
For example: The falsely Implementation of “Shari’ a”, by the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, in Pakistan and the south border of Afghanistan, whose existence is derived from the ignorance and uneducated followers, is an obvious illustration of the catastrophic result of the misinterpretation of the Quran. Those indiscretions were not only to abuse Women (strictly ordered to be covered from head to toe and barred from any education), but it had also contributed to the rise and spreading of terrorism and violence leading to: Death, Misery, Subversion, and Chaos.</p>
<p>As an example:  in Cairo, Egypt, one well known religious writer, Gamal al-Banna, put a message on the internet saying: “A belly dancer should not be condemned just because she is showing her bare body, she should be judged by what good or bad she is doing in her life.”(New York Times) That was clear evidence that with education individuals can talk and express the common sense. Such opinion could have never been expressed within the Taliban controlled areas, the writer would have been executed at the spot.</p>
<p>Judaism</p>
<p>The acceptance of such appalling crimes, by the Jews and even King David is still reflected and accepted in the Jewish culture today. Although not as extreme, women are still mistreated and violated. Fanatic Jews (Hassidic) treat women mostly like fanatic Muslims, although some times in a different way but the same purpose. Women are not allowed to show their hairs, but instead of Hijab, they must cover their heads with wigs. Also they must cover their arms and legs.<br />
All such rules were not specified in the Torah. They are applying some abuse treatment of women which were (Man-made) centuries and centuries ago with religious infrence.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Certain religions unambiguously claim that reality is an illusion of GOD (Hinduism), while others have demonstrated illusions/miracles (Christianity and Islam).<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Did GOD, being so compassionate, cast those illusions in order for us not to know of our true horrific nature?<span> </span>Are we “dignified creatures” of consumption, born of sin, not different than a virus that grows exponentially for purpose of consumption? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span> </span>First, the answer is, in part, determined by the effect of our actions have on each other and on the environment: live sustainably and behave humanistic toward each other while fully heartily living to the darma religion has set forth.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span> </span>Secondly, we may also examine mathematical mysteries and quantum physics to help us form analyze conclusion that may form a doubt of the nature of “reality”.<span> </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">For example</span>: a theory formulated by Heisenberg- the uncertainty principle?<span> </span>It states that either the location or the velocity of a moving particle can be determined but not both at the same time. If you know one, you cannot know the other. That is, there is uncertainty in the system, which violates our common sense and classical Newtonian physics.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">And an example which is consistent with Newtonian physics is as follow: If an object is dropped, does it ever reach the ground? At any point in time it is half the remaining distance to the ground. So how could it ever reach the ground? Yet, we “know” that it does, or do we?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">What is perceived outside the body has a lot to do with what is functioning in our brain:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In The brain Revolution New York: Bantam Books (1973),<span> </span>Marily Ferguson writes: “Though myriad transactions in the brain, we perceive; our senses select from the stimuli, cerebral structure in the brain<span> </span>interpret the data, but there is no ultimate model of reality out there against which our perceptions can be measured as true or false…A rose is only a rose because man sees it as such; without him it would be only a pattern of energy vortices.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span> </span>“The senses routinely perform two miracles” Says Robert Ornstein Ph. D. in “the psychology of consciousness” (New York; Penguin books). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The first</span></em></strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> he explains, is the brain‘s transformation of the various forms of physical energy from the external world light, sound, vibrations if chemical molecules- into electrical signals in the brain.”This process is called transduction” he writes.” The eye transmutes<span> </span>light, the ear transducers sound waves, and the nose transducers gaseous molecules.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span> </span><strong><em>“The second</em></strong> miracle is even more remarkable: “the billions of electrical explosions and chemical secretions of neural firing become trees of cakes, silver fish and laughter-the conscious world the human experiences.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">“These two miracles occur every moment of our lives and are so continuous and routine that we are naturally unaware of them. We are on our way to understanding how the first miracle works, but everyone in science realms completely mystified by the second.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The answer to the above questions lies in mathematical dilemmas and the “reactions” of our “action” have caused on each other and the ENVIRONMENT. In understandable terms: “THE</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> BOTTOM LINE”</span></p>
