While there is much to laugh at and condemn in this letter, such as “assuming” the Holocaust occurred, there is a method to Ahmadinejad’s madness.

There are several points in this letter that need to be understood within very clear and classic Muslim practice, adherence to the intonements of the Quran and the example of the Prophet. A few excerpts from the letter:

"These have prompted me to discuss some of the contradictions and questions, in the hopes that it might bring about an opportunity to redress them. Can one be a follower of Jesus Christ (PBUH), the great Messenger of God, Feel obliged to respect human rights, Present liberalism as a civilization model, Announce one’s opposition to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and WMDs, Make “War and Terror” his slogan, And finally, Work towards the establishment of a unified international community – a community which Christ and the virtuous of the Earth will one day govern, But at the same time, Have countries attacked; The lives, reputations and possessions of people destroyed and on the slight chance of the … of a … criminals in a village city, or convoy for example the entire village, city or convey set ablaze."

Understand first that Islam accepts Christ as a prophet of Islam preceding Mohammed who is "the final Seal of the Prophets"...

Because I believe in Christ as Lord and Saviour, I won't be joining Ahmadinejad’s "religion" nor paying it any tax. My decision is final.

Let the jihad begin.
