Meditations of a Bedouin F-15 Jet Fighter Pilot

When he was born his young father gave him the honorable name of Abdullah, meaning servant of ALLAH. But from the time he was weaned from his mother's breast and started drinking goat milk from one of their own goats, one thing and one thing only kept the attention of the toddler, Abdullah. From the area in front of their tent he could hear the loud sounds of the training jets practicing their maneuvers in the clear skies above them.

All of the areas where his father, Abu Abdullah (meaning father of Abdullah) could locate enough vegetation to feed their flocks of goats and lambs were near a Kingdom of Saudi Arabia pilot training base. At the time Abdullah was still learning to walk and talk he had learned the words for fly, and for airplane, tiir and tayara. So, when he heard the sounds overhead, his hands would immediately be cupped over his eyes as he searched the bright skies for one, or two Tayarra. Because, he had not yet even learned how to pronounce the words meaning two or more tayarra.

So, there in front of their tent he would be heard screeching "mama and baba," with the words tiir or tayyarra, or "mama, tiir, tiir", or "baba – tayarra, tayarra!"

By the time he could talk the main thing he would talk about were the planes in the sky, and how he would one day be a jet fighter pilot in one of those planes for the Saudi Air Force. Then he would pretend to shoot rockets at the Iranian atheist enemies. He had heard about the war between Iraq and Iran and identified the Shiia Iranians as the atheist enemies of the strict Wahhabbi Sunnis.

There was one more dimension in his young life in addition to his mother and father, and his three younger beloved sisters. And that was ALLAH. He was quite aware that his own name, Abdullah, meant servant or slave of ALLAH. So he was determined that is what he would be, a servant of ALLAH. In fact, he reasoned that the two driving desires of his life fit very well together; a servant of ALLAH and a pilot.

For ALLAH was in the sky, and that is where he would be flying, so his tayarra would take him even closer to ALLAH. But also, as a fighter pilot defending both his beloved King and his beloved Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, he would be serving ALLAH by serving his King and nation as a skilled and brave pilot.

The young Abdullah was very gifted both athletically and also had a brilliant mind. He learned everything very quickly, including how to play football (soccer), and perform in mathematics, and English. He loved studies and his teachers loved him.

He scored exceedingly high on all his government standardized tests. Though he was a shepherd boy, attending only a small country school, ALLAH and the Saudi Ministry of Education had provided him skilled, excellent teachers. Thus, it was no surprise when Abdullah's graduation national test scores easily qualified him to enter national military pilot training directly out of high school.

Abdullah excelled and graduated fifth in his flight class, which contained some of the most brilliant and skillful young men in the country. But one thing that the pilot training instructors noted about the enthusiastic Abdullah was his unconditional commitment to ALLAH.

One of the valuable, foundational habits that Abdullah had brought with him from his life as a shepherd boy, is that he could not stop himself from using his quiet time deeply thinking. And a shepherd boy has much, much time to think. Significantly, much of his quiet time was used in thinking about the Qur'an and praying.

Just over two years after his graduation from pilot training, the name that Abdullah was known by, was no longer Abdullah, but became Abu Mutawafiik. Abdullah's father had arranged for him to marry a lovely young distant relative, Maryam, named after the Virgin mother of the Qur'an's Messiah. So it was not long before she brought into their young family this lovely boy. But how the boy was named Mutawafiik we will leave to a little latter in our story.

Meditations of a Bedouin F-15 Fighter Pilot

Never in the long history of Islam, has such a fierce battle taken place in the blazing sun above the vast Arabian Desert. But ALLAH raised up just the rightly equipped clever Bedouin pilot to win this strategic battle.

This young Bedu's code name became Al-Imran 3:55 but he was still known by his friends as Abu Mutawafeek. The verb Mutawafiik has the profound meaning of to cause to die. There were two reasons that pilot Al-Imran 3:55 had given his beloved first born son and only child this name of Mutawafiik that had such a strange meaning for a child's name. His many friends did not consider it a wrong name or a bad name, but only a strange name.

But if those same people could look deep into the heart and soul of Al-Imran 3:55, they would soon discover why Abu Mutawafiik had chosen the word Mutawafiik to be his only son's name. But at the same time they would discover something else.

They all knew that Abu Mutawafiik had five deep loves in addition to his love for his parents, his grandparents, his wife, and his very beloved son. So you could just say that Love more than any other emotion, was the passion that drove Abu Mutawafiik's life.

His five loves after his family were not in a particular order, for he loved all five equally. But beyond his family his five loves were the Holy Qur'an, ALLAH Himself, Islam, Holy Mecca, and the Umma which is the worldwide Muslim community. And the wonderful force that united all of Abu Mutawafiik's love was his deep, deep commitment to truth. For as Abu Mutawafiik faithfully prayed his five prayers each day whether it was in his home, in the mosque, in the dessert or at Mecca Al-Mukarim, he always carried in his heart an abiding commitment to truth.

Due to his deep commitment to truth, he had a particular habit of which he could never let go. It was the habit of testing everything around him by asking questions. But they were not the questions of a philosopher or skeptic who seem to always assume that there were not satisfying answers. But when he saw what at first appeared to be contradictions, even in his reading of his Holy Quran, he did not believe that it was displeasing to ALLAH to search for the answers to the apparent contradictions. But the contradictions were never in the Qur'an itself but in the inconsistent way leaders' interpret the Qur'an.

And there was one such contradiction that really disturbed Code Name Al-Imran 3:55 that was the main influence on his choice he made for his own code name. This serious concern was also the reason that he named his son, "Mutawafiik."

The Contradiction

That is, since he read the Qur'an consistently, he developed the exceptional habit of thinking deeply about the implications of what he read. So there was this one serious contradiction between what all Muslims were ordered to believe by Muslim leaders and what he actually observed with his own two eyes, that the Qur'an itself was clearly teaching him to believe. Furthermore, he was amazed that no one else saw this blatant contradiction but Himself. Of course, he realized that other Muslims might also be thinking about the same obvious contradiction. But they were keeping their mouths shut, because they did not want to start a Fitnah in the greater Islamic community, the Umma out of respect for the Umma. (A fitnah is a serious disagreement. In the Arabic book of Acts it is used to mean riot.) So he wanted to avoid getting into serious trouble with the majority of Muslims.

They also did not want to get themselves and their families into trouble for disagreeing with what they had been ordered to believe. And the contradiction as Abu Mutawafiik saw it was about the Qur'an's Messian Isa, and whether the Holy Qur'an actually did truly teach that he did experience a temporary death and had truly been raised to new life by ALLAH after that death.

The first very obvious problem was this. He and every other Muslim had been taught by the Muslim authorities to believe that the Injeel had been changed so much by Jewish scribes that all the main things it said about the Messiah's death and resurrection had been changed. But though he had searched the entire Qur'an as if he was using a magnifying glass, there was not one verse in the Qur'an that actually stated that the earlier Scriptures themselves had been changed. The nearest verse to saying anything even remotely similar to the previous Scriptures having been changed is when the Qur'an said in one isolated verse that some Jews had corrupted the meaning of the previous Scriptures with their tongues. But such a mild allegation was totally different from actually charging that the injeel itself had been changed with anyone's pens instead of only their tongues.

Therefore, since the Qur'an itself said in several different verses in different surahs that the Qur'an confirmed the earlier Scriptures, this meant that since the Muslim is under obligation not to make a big fat joke out of clear instructions from the Qur'an, then serious Muslims who obey the Qur'an must believe that the Messiah both died and rose. Therefore, he is spiritually present in the Middle Eastern region today, since that it is what the Injeel so clearly and authoritatively teaches.

WOW! How wonderful for Mid East Muslims!

That means that right now in Islam, Muslims are demonstrating a serious dose of flagrant disobedience to the Qur'an.

But, there exists an even more pregnant problem that shows that Muslims just flat out are ignoring their own Qur'an and inventing a well beyond nine months' big fat pregnant lie to disgracefully cover up their own open disobedience to their own Qur'an's teaching. For it is a very big deal to totally ignore a strong statement by ALLAH Himself in the Holy Qur'an in Al-Imran 3:55 about the Qur'an's own Messiah dying and being raised. But after that statement by ALLAH is flagrantly ignored and virtually thrown into the garbage, they have done another thing that in Abu Mutawafiik's heart of hearts, he can not justify and considers it to be strong disobedience.

Sure, it must be admitted that An-Nisa 4:157 initially appears to teach that the Messiah was not crucified or killed. But after careful examination, it becomes absolutely obvious what the Arabic verb or term shubbiha lahum is referring to. And it most certainly is in no way suggesting that ALLAH wasted his own amazing Eternal Wisdom and his own fantastic Eternal Might to make a two piaster identity transfer of his own Messiah's total appearance over to a lookalike. That man-made myth provided for the lookalike to be wrongly executed while ALLAH helped His Messiah make a secret flying escape.

Are you kidding? How can you expect a clear thinking Muslim to take seriously that the Supreme ALLAH Himself was involved in something so ridiculous right out of fantasy land?

What makes this ridiculous mortal man-made myth so unexplainable and indefensible is this. That is in order for them to believe such a myth that is still insisted upon by the present Islamic power structure, these leaders manipulate the cooperative minds of Muslims to be willing to literally throw away the authoritative statement of ALLAH Himself in the Qur'an's own Al-Imran 3:55 in order to be replaced by a farfetched, for lack of a more appropriate word, Lie, that a man made identity transfer justifies totally cancelling the Qur'an's direct quotation from ALLAH Himself. So Abu Mutawafiik reasoned to himself:

Come on! That is really a bizarre choice for supposedly intelligent Muslim leaders to make. In fact, not to be too insulting, such flagrant gullibility by Muslim leaders more than equals the wild gullibility of the CIA in basing the whole immoral invasion and murder of the innocent people of Iraq on a flagrant lie by a professional liar suspiciously code named curveball.

The CIA manipulated and convinced General Collin Powell to believe that satellite photos of chicken coups were instead portable laboratories developing weapons of mass destruction. So by convincing the General, he provided the CIA this bizarre lie which became a wonderful excuse for Bush, Wolfowitz, Rove and Cheney, to have their solid excuse for slaughtering Muslim Iraqi women and children. But, additionally, the U.S. Neo Cons wanted to rid the world of Muslims while they also inadvertently blew the legs off many American service personnel as well as ending and ruining the lives of multitudes of human war victims from various nations.

But if I am going to make these charges about the myth being totally false, that means I must come up with a plausible explanation for the verse's use of the Arabic term shubbiha lahum, which I will now definitely do. But be prepared for a big surprise! For this task of explaining a more reasonable meaning of shubbiha lahum will be much simpler than all Muslims have been led to expect.

The bottom line is this about the Qur'an's An-Nisa's 4:157 use of the term shubbiha lahum (it appeared so unto them.) Despite the fact that a whole elaborate wildly concocted myth has been manufactured to enable this term shubbiha lahum to accommodate a fantastic supposed identity transfer of the Messiah's appearance on to an imposter, in the context of the Qur'an's use of this verb and pronoun in this verse, it simply means: It appeared to them (The Jews) that he had been killed and crucified and was therefore completely dead forever. But that appearance was only a false appearance because of what the next verse clearly indicates. He was soon raised alive by the Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might of ALLAH. So would ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Might have been wasted to make possible an amateur identify transfer?

During Al-Imran's 3:55's historical investigation, he discovered an important side issue in this mystery myth account. That is the Prophet Muhammad himself elected to allow this false explanation to be a temporarily believed explanation in order to distance Muslims from such potentially dangerous theological beliefs as the Catholic's teaching that Maryam was the "Mother of ALLAH" and also from the appearance that ALLAH and Maryam had an implied sexual union that made the Messiah the third person of a Greek invented trinity or family of gods. So if the Muslim community knew about the truth of the death and resurrection at this vulnerable time, that would draw Muslims too close to the dangerous Catholic theology of potential multiple gods.

But the Prophet fully expected the true beliefs in the death and resurrection of the Messiah and his living presence among Muslims, to be later reinstated when Islam became strong enough to resist Christianity's potential to lead Islam on an un-straight path away from the vital Oneness of ALLAH.

Thus, code name Al-Imran 3:55 saw that, due to that verse containing the vital but ignored direct statement from ALLAH confirming the definite death of His Messiah and his also being victoriously raised by ALLAH from that death, was far too serious of an omission to just casually be ignored by Muslim leaders.

And of course that key truth that was declared by ALLAH Himself in 3:55, should have forever cancelled any false understanding that had been enthusiastically cultivated around the terms not killed and not crucified, and due to the wrong understanding of the use of the actually simple term, it appeared to them or shubbiiha lahum.

The fact that the strong declaration by ALLAH Himself contained the decisive term Mutawafiik meaning in Arabic the emphatic "to cause to die" convinced code name Al-Imran 3:55 beyond the shadow of a doubt that he would dedicate Himself as a Muslim who honored the truth of the Holy Qur'an, to one main goal. He would whole heartedly commit Himself to cleansing the Qur'an from the lie brought to it by the continued worship of the godless idol of a lying myth.

This wicked man-made myth emphatically denies the historical reality of the Jews' evil murder of the Qur'an's own Messiah. Therefore, it also denies the miraculous resurrection by ALLAH's own Eternal Wisdom and Might of the Qur'an's own triumphant Messiah. But in total contradiction of the myth's arrogant denial of the Messiah's death and resurrection, the Qur'an's Al-Imran 3:55 reveals ALLAH Himself affirming both of these significant historical events of the death and resurrection of the Qur'an's own Messiah.

Despite the Qur'an's own total exposure of the falsehood of the myth, this myth's lies are still unanimously embraced by apparently gullible Muslims. So the total acceptance by all Muslims of the false details contained in the fallacious myth about the Qur'an's Risen Messiah which blatantly contradict what ALLAH Himself has authoritatively stated in the Qur'an's Al-Imran 3:55 about the true validity of these two exceptionally relevant events, greatly upset Abu Mutawafiik.

He was made so ashamed by this situation that despite the total exposure of the myth as being a complete man invented falsehood, this lie is even now still embraced as being true by all Muslims. Consequently, he could not stop thinking and praying about this betrayal of Islam.

So this disappointing acceptance by all Muslims of all the false details in the myth about the Qur'an's Messiah which blatantly contradicts what ALLAH Himself is quoted as authoritatively stating was extremely disappointing and disturbing to this sincere Muslim.

In fact, he was personally ashamed of the way his Muslim brother leaders were figuratively wiping their feet on the Qur'an's truth about the Messiah's historic public death and his later being brought back to life by the Eternal Wisdom, and Might of the Qur'an's mighty Messiah. But what made this truth all the more painful was this reality. Since the Messiah was raised, he was empowered to be alive in order to pull alongside and bless Muslims in their pursuit of bringing truth, righteousness and justice to this world and to bring justice in the volatile Middle East and especially to the ripped off and often brutalized and even murdered Palestinians. So, by the strident denial by recalcitrant Muslim leaders, truth, justice and righteousness would also be denied to future generations of Muslim children.

It was greatly painful to him, as if a Yemeni dagger was in his heart, that Muslim leaders were virtually wiping both of their feet on the truth about the Qur'an's Messiah's death and his being raised to life by ALLAH. So this shameful way that Muslim leaders were needlessly treating truth, forcefully got a firm grip on code name Al-Imran's 3:55's sensitive emotions.

Due to the shameless lie that was being cultivated and nurtured by Muslim leaders about there being no death and no resurrection motivated this skillful Bedu F-15 jet pilot to make four significant promises to ALLAH. His first promise was to dedicate his life to service for ALLAH in recovering this truth contained in the Holy Qur'an. Furthermore, he fully realized nothing could be worse than Muslim leaders continuing to embrace such an ugly lying myth about the sinless, kind man who was the Qur'an's only Messiah and ALLAH's only Messiah.

His second promise was that he would pursue prayer and more prayer to seek ALLAH, so that ALLAH would finally overwhelm the Islamic Umma with the truth of the Qur'an's true teaching about the Jews' murderous death of the Qur'an's Messiah. Because once the Messiah's death would be established in Muslims minds as ALLAH in Al-Imram 3:55 stated that it was to occur and An-Nisa 4:158 reveals that it did occur, there is plenty of additional evidence in the Qur'an that ALLAH took him up in addition to verse 3:55 saying that ALLAH took him up after his death. For example, his death or him being raised up is additionally revealed in the Qur'an's Al-Ma'idah 5:117, Al-An'am 6:122, Maryam 19:33,34, An-Nisa 4:158 and An-Nisa 4:159.

This promise to pursue truth through prayer, prayer and more prayer, led to this third major promise. He realized that the key word spoken by ALLAH in Al-Imran 3:55 was the verb mutawafiik which means in Arabic, to cause to die, when ALLAH clearly stated that he would be the ultimate cause of Isa dying. Because ALLAH ultimately controls all things, so he was the ultimate cause of his own Messiah's death. So, in order to restore the extreme significance of that word, code name Al-Imran 3:55 promised to name his son with the significant name Mutawafiik. So every time he prayed for his beloved son, which was often, he also sincerely prayed for ALLAH to rescue Islam from the shame that certain leaders had brought to this great religion by the lies in their concocted mortal man-manufactured-myth. And he also prayed prayers for forgiveness for Muslims for placing their lies above the words of the Almighty ALLAH in Al-Imran 3:55.

Then there was the fourth major promise that Abu Mutawafiik made. That is, every jet pilot in the Saudi Air Force has their choice of an important relatively secret code name. So there was no doubt about the name he would choose. Since Al-Imran 3:55 was the verse that Muslim leaders had decided to ignore it would be the opposite for Abu Mutawafiik. For him Al-Imran 3:55 promised that it would be the key verse in the Qur'an that not for one second he would ever ignore. So he chose Al-Imran 3:55 as his own Code Name.

Every time he prayed, after he finished his formal prayers, his son Mutawafiik was always on his mind. After he prayed for his son, he would also pray against Muslims' rejection of the Qur'an's Messiah's death and resurrection. He sincerely requested that the shame be removed from Islam for ignoring the important truth that the verb mutawafiik represents.

Yes, Abu Mutawafiik prayed and prayed, and poured out his heart to ALLAH to bring blessing to Islam through the Qur'an's Risen Messiah instead of Islam's leaders bringing shame on themselves for their blasphemous treatment of the Qur'an's Messiah. From his thorough reading of his own Qur'an, he rejoiced in the many blessings that Isa Al-Messiah brought to the people of his day. He also rejoiced in how he was empowered by ALLAH to compassionately heal lepers, to miraculously give sight to those born blind, and even to raise to life again, a few persons who had died.

But in one way, his reading in the Qur'an about so many marvelous signs and miracles that ALLAH empowered His Messiah to do, these miracles added all the more to his confusion about the way this Messiah who the Qur'an portrayed so uniquely and favorably, was horribly ignored and minimized by the majority of Muslims, not only their leaders.

It didn't seem to bother anyone but Himself, that on the one hand, the Qur'an painted a beautiful word portrait of the Qur'an's Messiah being such a caring person, and was always there to help everyone but not to help religious hypocrites whom he constantly exposed. But on the other hand, though he was so obviously a super kind and courageous person, the vast majority of Muslims never seemed to stick up for him or truly honor him. They only stated that they believed in him like they believed in all of ALLAH's Prophets. Further confusing him was the fact that the man-made myth about the Qur'an's Messiah, portrayed him as an escape artist coward who didn't trust ALLAH to help him defeat both death, and also defeated the hostile, calloused Jews. Yet, that serious contradiction seemed not to bother anyone but him. Because obviously the Qur'an's Messiah did not have the mentality of an escape artist.

So, that is the way that Abu Mutawafiik constantly prayed and thought about these issues. And he realized that it was not only the way Islam had such a unanimous concensus about the truth and credibility about such an untruthful damaging joke of a myth. But it also seemed to him as though there is an undeserved extremely dismissive attitude toward the supreme importance of the Qur'an's Risen Messiah. And it definitely is not the controversial and even debatable issue of whether he is or is not the precise Son of God. For Al-Imran 3:55 decided that once a Muslim knows that the Qur'an's courageous Messiah was raised by ALLAH from death, that is a much more measurable truth of his importance to ALLAH and significance to the Qur'an, than him being called the title of Son of ALLAH.

He knew the Qur'an calls him The Messiah which means anointed, eleven (11) times. So, when he is most definitely known as being raised from death, and when his presence is accessible among Muslims, and he is known as ALLAH's, and the Qur'an's Sign of the Hour of Judgment, then to call ALLAH's own Anointed Messiah Son of God, is definitely not the significant issue.

But even though all this is true, there exists a prominent Risenmessiahphobic attitude toward the Quran's Messiah that he knew must be shot down out of Muslims' minds. Then as he thought and thought, and prayed and prayed about this unfair Risenmessiahphobic attitude among Muslims toward the Qur'an's definitely Risen Messiah, then it suddenly happened!

The Supernatural Vision of Abu Mutawafiik,
Code Name: Al-Imran 3:55, the Servant of ALLAH.

Abu Mutawafiik's Own Words Were:

Whether this was a supernatural vision, or only a dream that happened to me, I do not know. About an hour after a time of concentrated prayers for a new attitude among Muslims regarding the truth of the Qur'an's Risen Messiah who is now residing among us, I had this wonderful experience. But whether it was a vision from ALLAH or a dream inspired by ALLAH, it truly was a vivid memorable experience that I shall never forget.

I suddenly found myself in my fighter jet breaking the sound barrier when, without warning, my F-15 named ALLAH is Great, began to violently shake. I quickly realized that an enemy fighter jet blasphomously named "The Qur'an's Messiah is a Loser", had fired a heat seeking rocket at my jet. The rocket had violently exploded less than 100 meters from my plane. Then the Qur'an's Messiah is a Loser jet sped away toward the sun.

I quickly prayed, and asked ALLAH for his help in defeating "The Qur'an's Messiah is a Loser" jet, I did a sweeping, difficult loop and gave immediate chase. Then "The Messiah is Loser" jet instantly performed an amazing maneuver and came flying right back on a collision course with my jet.

My video screen warned me that it was about to fire another rocket named "There Is No Risen Messiah" at my jet. But I suddenly did my own amazing maneuver, so that the enemy jet had no opportunity to accurately fire his rocket. With ALLAH's help, I then got the enemy in my rocket sights. Suddenly I fired my "Truth Triumphs" Rocket at his blazingly fast and evil aircraft.

ALLAH provided a direct bull's eye. At the precise second that I destroyed his wicked plane and his other evil rockets, I heard the soft voice of ALLAH whispering to my inner ear saying:

"Thank you Al-Imran 3:55. By my Eternal Wisdom and Might, with your one "Truth Triumphs" rocket, you have totally destroyed the Evil Myth and the Risenmessiahphobia with only my one "Truth Triumphs" rocket."

Then I safely landed my faithful F-15 jet, rushed to our home where my wife Maryam, and my son Mutawafiik were sincerely praying for my safe return. I hugged and kissed them both. As soon as I told them the amazing triumph for truth that had occurred, the three of us hopped in our Toyota double seat pickup, and rushed off to the local Mosque. Once inside the Mosque, we praised ALLAH for the wonderful triumph of the Qur'an's Eternal Truth about how the forever Risen Messiah Isa now lives among us.

(It is significant to know why Al-Imran 3:55 drives a Toyota pickup instead of a fancy car like most jet pilots drive. Because he uses the practical pickup to help take both he and his wife's sets of parents', to transport goat milk, goat cheese, and sometimes wool from their tent farms to the suqs in the many small towns and villages in the area. All four parents are so proud and thankful to have the son, the daughter-in-law, and the grand-child that ALLAH has wonderfully blessed them with. And they are also thankful that Abu and Um Mutawafiik both often come to visit them at their tent farms and to help them with milking the goats and shearing the sheep and making the delicious goat cheese.

The Glorious Qur'an's and ALLAH's Certain Victory

Yes! He knew his vivid experience of sybollically defeating evil was only a dream or at the most a vision. But Code Name Al-Imran 3:55 also knew that it was an important symbolic message from ALLAH about the victory that His Own Will would cause to soon occur.

And why could Abu Mutawafiik be so sure that his vision would come true? Because it is ALLAH's Will for Truth to triumph. Even though fallacy about the Qur'an's Messiah may be embedded in vast multitudes of Muslim minds, that fallacy is definitely not set in stone. Nor is this evil untruth contained in the Qur'an. Therefore, since ALLAH is Ever Wise and Ever Mighty, as is wondrously revealed in the Qur'an's An-Nisa 4:158, it is His Will for Truth to Triumph. Thus, Truth shall Triumph!

A Quiet Confrontation with the Devil's Advocate

The vision of being used by ALLAH to defeat the lie that had been discrediting the Qur'an's and ALLAH's Risen Messiah brought much joy and relief to Al-Imran's 3:55's life. But he decided that having shared the experience with Maryam and with their dear parents was enough for now. So he would just let ALLAH lead as to whom he should talk to next.

But he did not realize that ALLAH would so soon lead him so quickly to share what had occurred.

He had some down time between training missions so he thought he would visit the base library and look over some important flight maps. So when he arrived at the small, quiet library, there was only one other person there, the Squadron Commander. And the Commander warmly greeted him by his Abu name.

After exchanging the customary Arabic greetings this is how the conversation went.

"Abu Mutatawafiik, I have been observing you for the last two or three days, and I have been hoping to get a chance to talk to you alone. Do you mind if we have a short conversation?"

With that comment by the Commander, AL-Imran 3:55 felt totally open to share with the Commander about what he disagreed with as to the way the Imams' have told all Muslims that they must believe only the statement in An-Nisa 4:157 about the Messiah not being killed or crucified. So Muslims have been ordered to ignore Al-Imran 3:55 about ALLAH Himself causing him to die, but then raising him up alive. But he realized that ALLAH's strong statement about the death and resurrection in 3:55 obviously meant that the verse An-Nisa 4:157 was not intened to be taken literally, word for word. So he explained to the Commander how he thought it was serious rebellion against both the Holy Qur'an and against ALLAH for all Muslims to believe a ridiculous mortal-man-made-myth. Instead, he explained that he was convinced that all Muslims must believe ALLAH's own words in Al-Imran 3:55 which expose the man-made-myth as being a rebellious man invented damaging lie.

Politely, the Commander did not question one word he was saying or interrupt him.

So Abu Mutawafiik thanked him for his patience and went on and summarized the exciting vision of his recent victorious combat in the sky and what his winning the combat against the blasphemous name of "The Qur'an's Messiah is a Loser" meant for all of Islam. He further explained that the whole vision assured him that ALLAH was giving him the definite message that very soon the historical truth of the Qur'an's definite teaching that the Messiah had both died and was risen and by implication is now living among Muslims would be out in the open. And that this factual truth would soon become known among Muslims and others because truth triumphs and this is the Qur'ans truth.

At that point the Commander totally caught Al-Imran 3:55 off guard by the amazing cleverness of his reply.

"Abu Mutawafiik, I want to thank you for being so clear and sincere in your explanation and in explaining to me about your potentially supernatural vision. Furthermore, I accept as true everything you have shared including your symbolic vision or dream and even your interpretation of its meaning. But please don't be offended when I sincerely say this. So what! It's no big deal that Muslim leaders got history wrong and that we still misunderstand what the Qur'an is telling us about the death and resurrection of the Qur'an's and ALLAH's Messiah. Because the truth is that this small insignificant mistake is now an important part of the fabric of Islam. Furthermore, this myth is an important part of our religious culture. And you don't mess with the fabric of religion and culture without causing more harm than good.

Then Al-Imran had this polite, calm reply.

"Commander, we will not settle this now. But ALLAH will settle this in His time. But truth shall triumph and truth shall free. Because the rejection of ALLAH's and the Qur'an's Messiah's death and resurrection and presence among us has brought much destruction and suffering to Islam and to the Umma that negative pressure and the pressure of leaders causes you to be unable to recognize. The damage to Muslim women especially in Afghanistan is one significant example that is now occurring. Because keeping the Qur'an's and ALLAH's Risen Messiah out of having a positive Impact on Islam by preventing his presence among us. So this has created a negative vacuum which extreme elements in Islam such as Al-Qae'da, have risen to fill. And such extremists have brought enormous suffering to innocent human beings, both to Muslims and to others. Until ALLAH's and the Qur'an's Risen Messiah is allowed to help bring needed healing and fill the vacuum, the situation will continue to deteriorate rather than heal."

The Commander's brief reply was;

"Maybe you and the Qur'an are right. But maybe the Umma and I are right. Time will tell. Min shoof/We will see.

The Single Greatest Foreign Policy Failure in History

Commander, I wish to thank you for such a beautiful, gracious and comprehensive summary statement. Your love for ALLAH, for the Qur'an and for all the people of this world is truly inspiring. But since we are both military men who are especially concerned for all the people of the Middle East, there is one more shocking observation I sense an obligation to ALLAH and to you to make. And I do not want to discuss this now, but definitely we will discuss it at a later time.

Sure! Go ahead and tell me your shocking observation.

Thank you. After spending hours and hours of thinking, praying and reading many newspapers, and reading the Holy Qur'an about this subject, here is what one unknown Bedouin jet pilot has decided. The single greatest and most destructive foreign policy failure in the history of the Arab Muslim nations is this one specific failure. And it is totally due to our Muslim leaders rigid and unwise unwillingness to admit that leaders of Islam have made a terribly costly and tragic mistake. Because whether Muslim leaders will admit it or not or even realize it, on foreign policy issues, they must not only consider how their decisions impact Muslim thinkers. They must also realize how their wrong understanding of one verse in our Qur'an also negatively impacts non-Muslim influential foreign leaders, their people and our people. But most importantly, they must realize how ALLAH who has decisively spoken His views about His Messiah's epochal death and epochal resurrection in the Qur'an's Al-Imran 3:55 and other verses, views their views as Muslims as definitely placing them in a state of rebellion against Him.

Up until this present moment, Muslim leaders' strident refusal to acknowledge, that when all of the relevant verses in the Qur'an are given their appropriate due consideration, this one vital reality becomes abundantly clear. The Holy Qur'an absolutely does teach that the Qur'an's Messiah and ALLAH's Messiah died, was raised to new life by ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might. Therefore he is now present with ALLAH among all people, especially those in his own region, the Middle East. And the Qur'an's Risen Messiah is especially present with each person, mosque and nation that will acknowledge and embrace his Risen presence. And for the world not to know, and for terrorists not to know that this is what we Muslims believe and live, is an absolutely catastrophic, unnecessary foreign policy failure that especially benefits the Risenmessiahphobic Zionists.

Only one example of the crucial impact that this foreign policy failure has had because of Muslim leaders' unwillingness to honor the Qur'an's teaching about it's own Risen Messiah now being spiritually present among Middle East Muslims is this. Do you think supposed Christian President George W. Bush would have attacked Muslim Iraq if the Iraqi Muslims were known to be publicly and enthusiastically honoring God's Risen Messiah in their hearts, in their homes, in their mosques and in their official ministries?

Commander, if the U.S. had seen multitudes of M.E. Muslims embracing the Qur'an's Risen Messiah, definitely there would have been no Bush-Blair-Netanyahu invasion, no tragic war, no humiliating occupation, no bloody insurgency, no mass exodus of terrified Iraqis from their own sovereign nation, no Iraqi wives and daughters forced into prostitution in order to feed their virtually starving families, no delusional U.S. President claiming victory over a mostly Muslim nation by claiming Mission Accomplished, no massive murders of Shiia by Sunni and Sunni by Shia, no massive minority Christians fleeing their own sovereign nation and no I.E.D.s not only murdering but also ruthlessly blowing off legs and arms and tearing out eyes, no terrifying and devastating aerial bombings and on and on the list of miserable realities could go.

Why has all this slaughter and suffering been needlessly poured out on a 95% Muslim, innocent nation? The war was obviously partially caused by a weak minded cowboy U.S. President, George Bush with Tony Blair, Dick Cheney, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Muslim Hating Neo-Cons and the ever hungry for war, U.S. Military-Industrial Complex, all whispering in his ear to attack Muslim Iraq.

But each of these factors was not the main cause of the atrocious war. The main cause of the war against Islam, not against Iraq, was that Iraq was viewed sub-conciously as a nation not populated by valuable human beings created in the image of GOD/ALLAH. Rather it was and is considered by the U.S. to be populated by a nation of virtually disposable Muslims. So the main foundation for the despicable, ALLAH-despised war was stubborn, shallow reasoning, Muslim leaders. These leaders irrationally demand that one billion five hundred million Muslims must understand one verse in their own Qur'an superficially and therefore incorrectly.

These partially blind Muslim leaders demand that all Muslims use this one misunderstood verse in our Qur'an out of the multitude of other verses in our own Noble Qur'an to horrendously wipe out and de facto cancel five other verses in five other important Surah of the Qur'an that each authoritatively proclaims that the Qur'an's Messiah Isa was raised by ALLAH from death. So these leaders who pretend to be GOD, are insidiously hiding from vast multitudes of precious Muslims' minds and hearts the following extremely significant and relevant fact. At this very moment the Qur'an's Risen Messiah is spiritually accessable to all Muslims. Why? Because he is alive among us with ALLAH as the Qur'an authoritativly teaches. And at this moment he is sincerely pleading to be welcomed into our kitchens, into our sitting rooms, into our Mosques, into our minds and into our hearts. And though he is warm, tender and compassionate, he has been wonderfully empowered by ALLAH.

This is the same Risen Messiah that U.S. Christians are honoring mildly and weakly in only some of their Christian Churches. But he is also ALLAH's Risen Messiah and our beloved Qur'an's Risen Messiah and the Injeel's Risen Messiah whom the Israelis totally refuse to honor at all and whom we Muslims do not yet fully honor. And such explosive examples of our Muslim leaders' Foreign Policy Catastrophes could go on and on. Please think about the long range implications of all those catastrophes that we Muslims so senselessly have needlessly allowed to occur.

Yes! Al-Imran 3:55 now firmly knew in his mind and in his heart that the whole Quran's true teaching about Islam's own Messiah's last earthly days in Al-Qud's was this: When ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might empowered Al-Quran's Messiah to totally defeat both death and his Roman and Israeli executioners, ALLAH's Messiah's triumph was wonderfully complete.

This was the joyful understanding that had invaded the heart and mind of Abdullah, the servant of ALLAH, code named Al-Imran 3:55, Abu Mutawafiik, Husband of Maryam, as this former shepard boy, now victorious Bedouin F-15 jet fighter pilot, confidently turned and politely walked away from the devil's advocate.

Commander, I thank you in advance for taking my thoughtful observations seriously.
