YET AGAIN ASAD NOOR WITH THE WHIP DRIVING MONEY-CHANGERS FROM THE SYNAGOGUE

YET AGAIN ASAD NOOR WITH THE WHIP DRIVING MONEY-CHANGERS FROM THE SYNAGOGUE

You are honest, forthright and straight forward in your articulation which will serve the progressive purpose well but will draw on you not only a barrage of offensive comments but could also draw governmental ire on you. But young people are dauntless in purposeful criticism that they believe could bring in healthful changes in society, and, as such, your articulate posture is but natural and in the long tradition of youthful idealism and action which has ushered in significant changes in the historical process of social evolution. You also possess a fine sense of humour as is evident in your choice of adjectives hurled at these hoaxes of humans we call politicians and preachers. 

You are doing a fine job in ushering in a new age among the Muslim polity of your motherland. Its greater impact hopefully will bring about such changes elsewhere as well among Muslims. If success is not immediate, you should not despair, for no great work was ever achieved overnight but consumed the fuel of human blood and toil. But success shall surely be as more freethinkers mustering courage to combat fundamentalist forces take the cue from you and carry on this crusade (not in the Christian sense, though) against the intolerance of Islam till democracy and modernity deal such medieval monstrosity the death blow and human society the world over is rid of archaic absolutism. 

Your safety and security are a prime concern and here we all have a part to play. We must join hands to ensure the allowance of free thinking, free speech and freedom of every form of critical examination and expression as the fundamental tools of safeguarding modern civilisation. Each and every person who believes in modernity must have the courage of conviction to 'call a spade a spade' as you do and must come up with strong support of your seminal effort to free society of religious barbarism. Passive piety we see enough in otherwise well-meaning citizens but what we need is active endeavour -- combined, collective, uncompromising exercise of faculty and function to free humanity of these horrendous ills that have come down on us from medieval times through inertial transmission from generation to generation in an unbroken line of degenerate discipleship to perverted preachers of a pernicious philosophy. God bless you, Asad Noor's Vlog for your wholesome, whole-hearted efforts to which I will be most happy to add on my own to liberate humanity from dark superstition unto the light of reason and realisation! May all light and love be yours! Hail humanity!
