Chaitanya Jyothi Museum Opening, 2000
RAMANAM
In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.
Countrymen,
ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT
The overweening arrogance of thinking that clergy are nothing to be concerned about because they represent ignorance, sentimentality and superstition, — that is, religion — is craven, colossal stupidity and, in the event, subversion of our national security.
To assume that because of their irrelevance or inconsequentiality we do not require a plenary agenda for taking down clergy ASAP — starting from the theological ground for doing that — is frosting on the cake of national suicide.
To suppose that only so-called Islamic clergy are agitating global imperialism with themselves as the ultimate beneficiaries … well, I have not a strong enough condemnation, although there is one, for that intellectual cowardice, that senseless intractability, that gutless pig-headedness.
… the English of which is: it is time to take down the mullahs running Saudi Arabia and the ayatollahs running Iran.
Update 1: Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has no such fatal arrogance. See also morchidat in Morocco.
The smart move would be for USA, Russia and India to join forces to second al-Sisi’s insights in this regard. Those three are the principal targets of the clerics al-Sisi reproaches and thus have common ground here. Al-Sisi says “No!” to reconstitution of 7th Century Arab avaricious murder.
Related here and here and here and here and here.
Again al-Sisi tells Muslims to reform to modernity, at Davos. See also morchidat in Morocco.
Update 2: Bahrain’s King Hamad Calls For Religious Tolerance
