I refer to the letter of Saybhan
Samat that was published in "The Island" on Sept. 2,
2006. In his letter he states that Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)
has authorised Iran to develop ‘nuclear energy’ for peaceful
purposes, but the US and Western powers refuse to trust Iran
because they consider ‘terrorists’ to be liars.
The third paragraph of his letter states that the ‘Lebanon
War’ has demonstrated the power of ‘Iranian missiles’ that were
used by the Hezbollah, and also the intention of Iranian
President to use long range missiles on Tel Aviv. Hence it is
being proved beyond reasonable doubt that the ‘Nuclear Programme
of Iran’ is obviously meant for destructive purpose.
The President of Iran, Mohmoud Ahmedinejad, and Osama bin
Laden have stated more than once that Israel should be wiped off
the world map. Bin Laden had also stated that the ‘infidels’
(referring to Christians) should be made to perish. Osama bin
Laden is the only son born of a concubine to his father Sheikh
Muhammed bin Awad bin Laden. He has had the audacity to make
that detestable statement.
I presume that Osama is an adviser to the Iranian President.
Their symbiotic relationship may be equivalent to that of Pilate
and Judas, who were jointly responsible for the crucifixion of
Jesus Christ. Together, they pose a serious threat to the world,
which may end in a global conflagration.
Therefore, I politely request God fearing Muslims like Samat
to promptly plead with Iranian President not to go ahead with
his ‘Nuclear Programme’ and to have no truck with the
reprehensible Osama bin Laden, a relationship which could lead
to total annihilation of civilization.
