A NEW-OLD WAR In my last weeks in the classroom as a full-time teacher and the first weeks of my early retirement, in what was the spring of 1999, a series of meetings finalized the organization, the leadership and the financial backing for a coordinated suicide attack that had been initially proposed to Osma Bin Laden and al-Qaeda in 1996. That attack was centred on the crashing of two airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. Five years and five months after that series of meetings, on 9 September 2001, two hijacked airliners crashed into the Twin Towers and the Towers collapsed. A War on Terrorism had begun.(1) Between that spring of 1999 and the autumn of 2001: President Clinton expressed the view that "the greatest regret of his presidency was his failure to take serious action against al-Qaedi and Osama Bin Laden." George W. Bush’s presidency had begun; I had moved to Tasmania from Western Australia in what Downunder is called a sea change; I had gone on my pilgrimage to the Baha’i World Centre and begun to receive a Disability Support Pension. In the spring of 2001 I also began a new life of publishing extensively on the internet.-Ron Price, Pioneering Over Four Epochs: A Personal Memoir, and thanks to (1)Internet Sites on "The Secret History of 9/11," SBS TV, 12:00-1:00 a.m. 11 September 2008. When the War on Terror began I was ready for I, too, had been part of a long and secret war for some four decades with all the ideal forces and confirmations rushing to support, reinforcing and opening doors, razing those impregnable castles to the ground so that I could attack the right and left wings of the hosts wherever I lived and had my being, so that I could break through the lines of the legions and carry my attack to the very centre of earth’s powers. I had tried to be firm in that Covenant; I had tried to show fellowship and love; I had travelled north to south and east to west,across two continents:my spirit attracted, my resolution firm, striving for magnanimity—at least some of the time; my intention pure—well, as far as possible. I tried to avoid controversy—as far as I was able. My thought at peace—as far as I was able. To each, it seems, we had our engagements with only some doors opening and some thoughts at peace and only partly pure in this world with its dust and ashes. Ron Price 12 September 2008

Do you honestly think that most people wouldn't? Isn't it self-pitying to assume an anti-Islamic intent in an off-topic post? Just sayin'.
Apologies for taking more than a year to reply to your post, famewalk; I just saw your post for the first time today. To answer your question as to whether Bahai's believe in eternal Matter, as you put it, let me say that Baha'is believe in: 1. the eternality of God and 2. the major scientific view of the origins of life on the planet. To put this another way, Baha'is are not believers of the literal view of the Bible or the Koran or other religious mythologies. Write again, famewalk, if you have more questions or go to the official international Baha'i site for more information. That site is at: bahai.org---Ron Price, Australia
The concept of "death to unbelievers," like so many concepts in the Koran, or the Bible for that matter, are issues of interpretation. There are so many schools, sects, denominations, branches, isms and wasms in all the old religions because there are so many possible interpretations and no one centre of authority to reconcile these often contradictory views. I leave this with you for now.-Ron in Australia
SOme won't listen, but the fervent listeners of the will of Allah will not believe to be sure who they are. I believe it is like what goes around comes around; and the coincidences may only for believers Be gifts from God.
