[QUOTE=Angela To Whisper..........

Woman.....

Because we were put here by God to say "Whoa man, slow down,  you can't do that!" 

Seriously though...  You mean you were joking.....?

I haven't given up on the plan, still want to do something, though we may have to change focus as reinventing the wheel isn't, I am beginning to realise, going to work. I have been so busy, and, somewhat unexpectedly distracted by recent (happy) personal events.  But I'm still around.  Cass

Are we or are we not doing Angela's Plan. It's the right time and the global stage, you may know, is all set for it. Lets move and cause peace. I know, it may not last a whole lifetime, but whatever moments we could find would be worth it.

Without participation from the Ummah, Muslimah is right...its just a bunch of Christian Westerners making more decisions for the Ummah.

I may have agreed with that comment had I not found more Christians and Jews, investing their rare Saturday afternoons, on some very frozen February roads, for Peace's sake.

I would have agreed with you if Peace were some Ummah's master franchise. It's the basic divine right of all humanity. We are not making any decisions for anyone, we are just striving to flow into a better, okay, a slightly better world for our children (grandchildren, in my case!).

We will meet a whole range of even more interesting commentary, but we must go on for our own sakes. You hold some unusual strengths in your own right. For some reason, the women on this board have come to stand as the more equal in socio-cultural-spiritual domain. I could steal one of Duende's lines here; "perhaps, only because woman happens to be the Center of Society" - as such you hold the responsibility for this world a wee more than us poor single function manufactured single track trained men.

Angela, step out. And, the day you do, I will wrap up or contract out all my worldly functions to some contractors (when did I say "civilian contractors?) and be one of your full time assistants. I will move to a region from where we would have all the support we need, from intellectuals, poets, artists and, would you believe it, even from some state fuctionaries.

I have been out a couple of times since the plan was launched. You could say, I have almost test marketted it in a few countries - the world is waiting for it. It will have a much bigger response as a gesture from American sympathisers of our planet's present plight!

We need a project manager who is as passionate about this as they are calm, wise and diplomatic. When we start on our journey, we will find such a Project Manager + Project Manageritos in every country. We will find regional boards across the world, specially, in countries like Malaysia, India, Turkey, Pakistan, Spain, Britain, Lebanon, Jordan - where they are about as fed up with their Foreign Assembled King as much are the Pakistanis and the Iraqis with Military occupations.

My friend, time is just ripe. Let's do something for us.

What's this all about, by the way? Frankly, I am sceptical. I believe unless Muslims are left alone, there won't be any peace. And until Muslims are left alone, Muslims should not think of peace.
