So did you end up Islamic, or what?Or is the problem with that and Judaism
up next in your narrative?
Those two parts of the overall larger Abrahamic belief system are at
separate parts of a larger mosaic, the Islamic branch still floundering in
what Benjamin Barber calls the "resource imperative", where master and slave
are both bound by ineffiiciencies , and the Judaism branch is largely in an
information-collection mode, having to do with a national destiny in change
and a "pause" mode, evidenced by a Kadima leader *literally* pausing from a
critical time of governance.
