      [continued from previous message]              important prophets, Muhammad, let to note his revelations. Although he       was an illiterate, one discovers in him an extraordinary personality. His       revelations have been written in Arabic by learned Jews, which have been       engaged by him for this work. Since he interested in all existing mystic       knowledge, in order to compare these with own experiences and       perceptions, he invited representatives of the existing religions to       self. Thus why Jewish Holy Scripts were provided for him by his Jewish       advisers, and transferred as narrations to the Qur'an. To consequence       Jewish ancestors became also Muslim ones, which is also very well       understandable and comprehensible. Muhammad gave ear also to Christians,       and New Testament has been reflected in Qur'an Sura "Mariam ", but with       some exception: Jesus was not God, and there are no Virgin Birth at all.       He wrote that a God envoy made Mariam pregnant in natural way. Hence it       follows that Muslims and Jews, and essentially also Christians, are       brothers due to Qur'an. Muslim Codex of the Canonical Right-Sharia'ah-Law       has been developed as well, in which for centuries Presumption of       Innocence was embodied. Who maintains gilt, he must prove it. To the       comparison, Presumption of Innocence can't be found in German Basic Law.       Centralism or a hierarchical layout does not exist in the Muslim       religion. Building-up of Islamic states and politicization of this       religion caused such negative moments as terrorism and stranger hate.       Predominant part Muslims never read Qur'an, and they know only what was       told them. Thus a fertile land has been developed for abuse of the Muslim       faith.        Although Judaism is free of most conditions, which may cause       religious abuse, there are also today such factors like: making religion       to be state issue, state interfering in religious questions and its       politicization, which provide religion with recognizable negative       moments. The problem is therefore so complex, while Hebrew faith       constitutes a part of the nation identity. This problem correlates itself       with the answer to the following question: In what extent a state is a       nation? Since spirit of the Jewish nation is scattered all over the       world, it gives state no reason to manifest that Jewish state is the only       embodiment of this spirit. If it is like that, then Jewish State has no       reason to be concerned with Jewish religion like, for example, Vatican       concerns with Catholicism. Hence it follows that Jewish state has to deal       only with identity of the state, as common spirit of the whole       population, and not only with identity of spirit of the Jewish nation and       its religion.              Summery. As we saw, organized faith, religion, and administrated       religion, church, cause most problems, which affect negatively       development of the human spirit. Such religious aggregations brake and       obstruct human spirit's development. Like catalysts of evil acts an       interfering of state and policy into religious questions. Money and power       should not be goals and priorities of a religion. Centralism in the       structure of a religion based on money and power must leave out. Local       autonomy and self financing using own means of a religious community are       sufficient. Freedom of the faith must be everywhere accepted. Forcing to       a concrete faith is a crime against human spirit.                     Spirit of Truth       P.S.
