Religion – Sheikh Zayed Mosque is the third largest mosque in the world, located in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan the founder and the first President of the United Arab Emirates, who is also buried there.
Wow! What a beautiful mosque. And it's amazing how utterly feminine the designs in this mosque are--all the hearts, flowers, vines and intricate carvings. It's a great tribute to Goddess, and I would love to see it someday, Goddess permitting.
For a great book on the Koran and Goddess, see the Korana of Mother Goddess, available on LuLu dot com, Amazon dot com and ebay. And if you want a free copy, just write me.
Blessings to this wonderful project in honor of Goddess!
Listen Koranagirl, you're a woman and I don't want to say anything bad to you.
"It's a great tribute to Goddess, and I would love to see it someday, Goddess permitting."
but this is insulting, this is a house of worship for the one God.
"For a great book on the Koran and Goddess, see the Korana of Mother Goddess, available on LuLu dot com, Amazon dot com and ebay. And if you want a free copy, just write me."
This rubbish is not considered as the Quran of the Muslims but a feminist book which she wrote it.
Dearest Mr. Muhairi;
I just want to assure you that the Korana of Mother Goddess is a book full of peace and love. You will not find any negativity there, nor with me.
However, I think someone might have hijacked your propeller account because someone sent me an email from you that had lots of stars (*****) in it and I know that any true believing Muslim would never do such a thing. I certainly never use such language myself.
But thanks for being concerned about the book. It is pure and peaceful and teaches no hate or negativity. So far everyone has enjoyed it and I'm sure you will too.
I send you my peace and blessings, and if I ever send you stars, you will know that they came from the angels in heaven and not from the darkness of a bad mood.
peace.
But the word was just stars when Propeller sent it to me, so I'm assuming it was not a word people use in polite company.
In any case, you also blocked me, but I'm okay with that. I have personally witnessed more than a few couples that started out with horrid fights and then got married and had kids. Sometimes a good fight to get the issues out just turns into a great friendship and also some even get married. Imagine that.
I still send you my love, peace and blessings.
I know, we are so desensitized to violence and war nowadays, people have a very hard time believing in peace and love.
It's okay, I understand completely.
Peace
Good question. I don't know if I can answer that. But I'm not sure it needs to be categorized. The book is whatever you want it to be. The purpose of it is only to promote peace and love, equality and feminism, understanding, tolerance and harmony among peoples and religions.
The verses of the traditional Koran match it, so it can be used as a substitute, but there is also more added to ensure that people understand that peace and love is the goal and ideal they should achieve in life.
And it's interesting that when children study "mythology", they are actually studying ancient religions. When they study the Koran, the Bible, or anything modern and mainstream, then that is religion that can't be studied in a classroom. I bet it could be studied as "myth", which is okay by me, but not as religion.
No, but there's a feminist Goddess version of the Bible coming out soon. The NT will be finished in a few months and the OT by the end of the year.
Choices, choices, many, many choices.
You say:

But here you say:

Lighten up. One cannot see another if ones head and eyes are blinded by ignorance of another point of view.
I know but when someone say things like "It's a great tribute to Goddess" and in her PM "Goddess bless for what you do for Her", as I said I find this very insulting to me personally.
but I might over reacted I wasn't in a good mood.
Mr. Muhairi;
No one is trying to insult you and while I deeply apologize if I have done so in any manner, that is not my point. In the US we have freedom of religion. We strive for tolerance and understanding of what others believe in. We therefore have a wide variety of beliefs here, and some people have even come here to bring back the fairy religions! I think that's wonderful! Any religion that brings peace and love and dispels the darkness is fantastic in my book.
I hope you can do this yourself someday and not get upset because someone looks at things a bit differently from the way you do. I know that sometimes we can keep ourselves in our own little enclaves of homogeneous reality that we have only created ourselves, but the true reality is that the world is much greater that anything we could ever possibly imagine. Why the species of beetles alone in the world is over 100,000 and counting.
And I think that's good. But in many countries that say they have "freedom of religion", they really don't. There's a story on Propeller about a women constructing a teapot to symbolize the pouring out of patience and understanding between religions in her country and the govt declared her a Muslim that can't build such things because they're anti-Muslim. She replied that she had changed to interfaith beliefs, but the govt wouldn't allow such a defense.
Very sad.
The teapot was pretty.
And besides, if everyone in the world was the same, life would be boring now, wouldn't it.
My post clearly related to how I felt about this Mosque and I wrote that I thought it was beautiful and a great tribute to Goddess because the designs were so clearly part of the Feminine Divine. It's like this, God creates beattles and Mother Goddess creates butterflies. God is more of the skyscraper modern style of architecture, Goddess is more Louis Sullivan. And that's why I thought it was more of a Goddess structure than a God inspired one. The lines, the flowers, the mosaics, etc. all remind me of that. Certainly the heart shaped structures did.
Anyway, I liked it. it was very good. Thanks for posting it and I hope you understand better how important it is for us to all be kind and loving toward one another.
