List of blogposts to put into draft and repost as originals again.
INBOX, The Confusion of the Confusion, so many other ones, crap!
Thinking about changing some settings… I might have to do the unthinkable and disconnect the blog from the profile page, and google activity, Hmhmm.
Enough feeling sorry for myself; I promised to blog about something so here goes nothing.

“Play it again” Jane
I’m posting this reply from December’s discussion and on my blog, so that all who partake of the discussion will understand my position, and can get a sense of what I am dealing with regards the issue of “us vs. them”, which many people claim is the Muslims’ fault (Sunnis particularly). I didn’t reply to all of the arguments, so I am doing that now (January 3rd), because I think it is needed. Not everyone will go to my blog to read the entire argument, which ran three posts in December. So, here is the rest of my argument (which will be posted on the blog and in Google share) in a nutshell:
To quote him [+tvee] again, “.." U have put words in my mouth. Where in my post did I say that Sufis are the best Muslims. Where?!! You seem to believe you have all the right answers to counter argue Zaha S and Terente P. Reality check for you - 'Truth' and 'believe' is ALL a perception - one person's 'truth' and 'reality' is another's 'untruth' and 'illusion'! Say what you want, but don't for a moment try to put words in my mouth or arrogantly tell me what I 'know or don't know'. Peace.
Now the previous post he made, which has the comments I objected to originally:
[Many readers have read this before; next I will be discussing what Terente P said, why he is wrong, and more (since I put my back against the wall) about the atheist mom’s arguments against God will also follow, today/tonite - though I might later revise, because it isn’t perfect, and needs more…]
[Anyway, “that’s my ‘ninja way’” (Naruto)
Previously on Google shares...
"I'm an Atheist, but in 2012 I was in Turkey & I had a very beautiful conversation (through translator) with an old sufi master. The gentle and compassionate sufi tradition within Islam should be revived and spread. Much of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, etc were spread by sufi missionaries. I saw through the sufi master LOVE, PEACE, TOLERANCE & UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD for ALL mankind! It is such a different message from Salafism & Wahabbism traditions which teach a 'us' versus 'them' world. I don't believe in God but u said in a post that the God you worship is the same as the God Christians & Jews and other people worship. That was a beautiful statement of TRUE LOVE that REFLECTS your God in YOU! :)"
He (tvee) said the sufis are the best, right HERE (in the paragraph above and this one, which are his own words). The Only Islamic tradition he is bolstering in his comment (above) is the Sufi tradition. I was not direct quoting him, even when I said “NICE” and it was just a short paraphrase (so I should have (or maybe did, can’t recall) left the quotes out) HE wrote, “The gentle and compassionate sufi tradition within Islam should be revived and spread” He wrote the above to Zaha, not to me. He praises her highly, “That was a beautiful statement of TRUE LOVE…” blah -blah -blah.
He really means it should be spread, because it has always remained in part of the Islamic world, so it doesn’t need reviving but only spreading. He wishes to have Sufism (so called “Islamic tradition” spread) dominate the Muslim world. To burst his bubble, that isn’t ever going to happen, and thank Allah!! A group (or government even) of sufis will do nothing to bring peace all over the world any more than anyone else can, and they have no practical solutions to offer that aren’t already offered by the sharia. Sharia is the only way to ensure that all people have basic human rights, if it is spread. Sufism isn’t going to spread, so we have to concentrate our efforts on teaching Islam properly, so that it does acquire the recognition and respect it deserves. Islam is the Truth and it is good. I hate to be too preachy here, but that is now my only answer to +Tvee, who abandoned the conversation, after calling me a kafir, lol.
I'm including Terente P's name in the labels, so maybe people can check out his page, too, which has three followers, last I looked, including me and an old Muslim pensionser... you can spam him, lol.
