Greetings Behnam khAn.  Thanks for your reply.  I just felt compelled to
reply back as a courtesy.  In the spirit of maintaining UNITY, I would
like to be dismissed out of this tread.  As much as I enjoyed the exchange,
I apologize to have even participated in it.  Please understand that I am
making this exit not because of you or even your views.  Keep up the good
work.

I have only few comments as a side note that have nothing to do with
the discussion that you had initiated just to be on record.

I too came to understand you as NOT doing "rouze khooni."  Thanks for the
clarification anyways.

Thank you for the background.

The rest of my article WAS the discussion.  Apparently you were on a crusade
to study MKO and share with us your understanding of their views that my
intention to move the course of the discussion toward a more social plain
of thought was not attractive.  I was trying to ascend from the cage of an
MKO-spicific discussion to soar to a level at which I could GLOBALLY pursue
the discussion.  I was wrong; I must have failed to realize that you were
really concentrating on the MKO tread.

Moreover, you characterized my personal experiences as fairy tales and
personal opinions and not facts.  I only wanted to comment that personal
experiences ARE a subset of FACTS too.  Now, if one does not certify a
personal experience as fact becuase one has doubts in the origin, or the
author, of the experience, then that is another story.  In such cases the
credibility itself is in question.

Let us keep in mind that:
" .  .  . The human race as a distinct, organic unit, has passed through
evolutionary stages analogous to the stages of infancy and childhood in the
lives of its individual members, and is now in the culminating period of its
turbulent adolescence approaching its long-awaited coming of age."
