The letter sent by Aminadabooboo (or whatever the heck it is) to Bush is very interesting.
In the letter, he asks Bush to convert to Islam:
"The whole world is moving toward Allah. Would Your Excellency
[referring to President Bush] not wish to join?"
First of all, the media uproar if Bush asked him to convert to Christianity would be deafening, but that's not the point I wish to make.
Iranian scholar Amir Taheri offers this insight:
"Ahmadinejad's move fits into a 14-century-long Muslim tradition, initiated
by the Prophet Muhammad himself, of writing letters to 'the rulers of the
world.' . To each, the prophet's offer was simple: Convert to Islam and
secure a place in paradise - or cling to your beliefs and face the sword of
Islam."
I wonder if this is a sign that Iran is planning something? Just a thought.
