The brother's response:

>>Ok guys, let us not condemn Gulbudin for his noble attempt to erect a 
>>"Kala Munar" in Kabul. Let us not condemn  the so called leaders
>>of the Peshawar seven for selling off to Pakistan and Saudi. Let us not
>>condemn Wahdat for fighting the Iraninan-Saudi war in expenses of Afghan

>>let us get rid of these pests and maybe then we can go about the  
>>implementation of Ms.Mariam's Utopian dream. This "mess" as she calls 
>>it is not the doing of Afghan people. 
etc.

Remember brother, "Ms. Mariam's Utopian dream"  is the dream of Islam: for all Muslims to be united as the Umma of Rasulillah.  "Ms. Mariam's Utopian dream" is not something so far fetched that it should not be able to be realized.  If people quit condemn
ing each other and come up with solutions of brotherhood/sisterhood instead, we would be able to answer our call to Allah subhanahu wa ta'alla and spread the word of sawrat-al mustaqueem to everyone.

To which my brother responded:

	No, brother, those are not the thinkers I had in mind.  Perhaps I was not clear in my article that my intentions for the thinkers were people like you and I who for the love of Allah want to protect our people all over the world;  people like you and I w
ho continue to faithfully stand for Islam and for it's people.  Although if our thinkers are as bitter as you are brother, no war in any part of the world will end.  

	Furthermore, the "Utopia" I demand can be achieved if all of us quit our hate words to all our brothers and sisters in Islam and instead chose to work together to solve all the problems the kuffar have caused for the Umma.  I was at a demonstration for B
osnia on Friday, and the khudba of that jumma prayer was a call for unity.  The imam stressed that if the strength of all Muslims were to come together, if we became a United Nation as demanded by Allah, then the injustice suffered by our people would com
e 
to an end.  Rather than being distasteful, let's come up with solutions.  Once again, I appeal to the thinkers.  And this time, brother, I pray you know who the thinkers are.

	May Allah forgive me if I say any words that are incorrect or that cause offense to any brother or sister.

Salam alaikum wa rahmatullah
your sister in Islam
