| Turkmen authority equals Niyazov's book with Qoran |
| 2003-04-05 |
| The secretary general of a political party here on Friday equalled the Turkmen President Spar Murat Niyazov's "Rouh-Nameh" (Letter on Souls) with "prophets' books", including the Holy Qoran, except that it is "written at the end of the 2nd millennium!" Oooh! Lookit! Another entry on the dictatorial laughingstock list. See, first you become a dictator and then you lose your mind. Because you can have all the people around you shot, they lose their minds, too... The Secretary General of Turkmenistan's Democratic Party Onjuq Moussayev who was speaking at a conference entitled "The Holy Rouh-Nameh and the Religious Beliefs of Turkmens", described President Niyazov's book as "a divinely inspired, material work that is closer to immaterial stuff." He added, "next to the Holy Qoran, Rouh-Nameh is the best book ever written for the mankind!" Mao had his Little Red Book. Qadhaffi has his Little Green Book. Hitler had Mein Kampf. The commies had Marx and the Collected Works of Lenin and the collected works of Stalin, and Brezhnev had Tselina. Sammy had Zabiba and the King. You can't be a dictator without writing The Greatest Work of the Age™. Moussayev who is also the first deputy of Turkmenistan's National Uprising Movement, in his lecture that was all praise for President Niyazov and his book, Rouh-Nameh, described the Turkmen president's job in writing that book as "a miraculous act" and "a mighty move." He added, "a great source of divine power exists within this great book that is both promising and inspiring for the Turkmen nation and the whole mankind!" "We just lo-o-o-o-ove our dictator!" Another speaker at the conference, the Grand Mufti (topmost religious authority of Sunni Muslims) of Turkmenistan Kaka Galdi Vafayev, approved the previous speaker's comments on the president's work. Referring to the opening sentences of Rouh-Nameh, in which President Niyazov has claimed that the book is the result of of God's revelations reflected in his heart, he said, "Based upon God's orders, sacred books are inspired onto the hearts of human beings that are equal in value to Prophets of God!" The Grand Mufti, too, whose lecture was all praise for the Turkmen president and his book, said, "This book has attracted the broad attention of the international community is in fact a bright lantern that will lighten the golden ear of the Turkmen nation, eternally!" It's attracting international attention, alright. Just not for the reasons Turkmenbashi had in mind... The 21st century is labeled as "The Golden Century of the Turkmen Nation and the Rouh-Nameh is referred to as "The Holy Book" in state owned media of the country and the official texts. |

| #1 The Islamic concept of "finality of prophethood" is a pillar of the murder-rape cult. Both the Ahmadiyah and Nation-of-Islam groups are generally condemned in Islamania, for issuing new prophecy. The penalty for "innovation" (bidah) in Islam is: death. Yet the Wahabis permit the Farakhanites to attend "pilgrimage" (haj) because that Islamo-fascist group is subversive, and contributes to the debilitation of American security. The Turkmen crackpot will get similar kid's gloves treatment. |
