Allah'hu Akhbar!
In Israel "akhbar" is, like so many other Arabic words, actually used as part of
the local slang. The word means great, but in the local usage it is more like:
awesome! incredible! and other superlatives. I have learned since then, that the
Muslims apply that epithet to Allah , which is, as everyone probably knows by
now, what they call their God. I have heard similar descriptions of God from
Jews, Christians, Hindus and others. Everyone knows that God is the greatest,
the mostest, the supremest; He is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, and so
on, and so on. He works in mysterious ways, He is inscrutable, inimitable,
immutable, infinite, …. He is God!!!
So, then it stands to reason that God also has infinite love, infinite patience,
infinite humility, infinite
understanding: He is everywhere, He is everything, He is all things and unlike
the popular misconception that God is genderless, the reality is that God is all
genders. And She is worthy of our love, our trust, our faith, our lives, our
souls, etc. Now, know ye all that I am and have always been, (since I converted
from atheism,) an agnostic, but I would most certainly agree, that if there were
a God, He/She/It would certainly be omni-everything.
Therefore, it is extremely baffling to me that so many people, do not have a
problem with the fact that
someone as moronic as lets say, G. W. Bush knows the ways and the word of God,
and he can change the laws of the land to reflect that knowledge of his. Doesn’t
anyone actually know that God is a lot more Akhbar than any human can ever
encompass? How can all these puny little idiots claim that they are the only
ones who understand the word of God? And how can so many millions of us be so
easily swayed by the charms and glib words of aKhomeini, a Swaggart, a Bakker, a
Dollar or a Jay?? How many self styled Guru’s need to buy fleets of Rolls Royce
automobiles with our hard earned cash before we undersatnd? What kind of
University does a Satmar Rabbi graduate from in order to become the leader of a
powerful Jewish orthodox faction? What makes him so much smarter than your
average New York subway
bible thumper? How many of you out there actually believe that an illiterate
moron who can barely read, can actually point out to you something that you
might have missed in your 200 or 300 re-readings of the Bible?
So here’s a word to all the Rabbis, Gurus, Pundits, Ayatollahs, Popes,
Reverends, Ministers, and all other
kinds of holier-than-thou riff-raff: Allah is indeed akhbar; She is so akhbar
that none of you have the brain
capacity to actually envelope the magnitude of that concept. To all of you who
say God is Great, I would like to say: She is indeed and a lot greater than you
can imagine. And when you all come to me and try to explain, cajole, threaten
and bribe, let me just say this: I can look inside a flower and see much more
God than any of you can ever conjure with your pitiful efforts. I know than that
She loves me, and I am not afraid of all your invented Hells. She would never
send me there. You actually have to work very hard and become a Hitler, a
Stalin, a G. W. Bush or some kind of Richard the Lion-Hearted to actually get
there.
Allah, the most akhbar, most merciful, most generous and most loving friend in
need.
Love her because She is beauty, goodness and mercy, and never-ever be afraid of
Her.
