Convert or Else. Regards Islam

Convert to Islam or War- Iran's recent letter to Mr Bush.

Only a few blogs (and almost no mainstream media) have realized the truth about Iranian madman Ahmadinejad’s letter to President Bush. It was not an offer to negotiate, and it was not simply a lunatic’s rant. It was a calculated invitation to convert to Islam, a da’wa—an Islamic requirement (commanded by Mohammed) before waging war against unbelievers.

Speaking in Jakarta, Indonesia, Ahmadinejad himself confirmed this reading today, as reported by the Islamic Republic News Agency: President says his letter to President Bush was invitation to Islam. (Hat tip: Jihad Watch.)

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Thursday that his letter to President George W. Bush did not concern the nuclear dossier, but rather was an invitation to Islam and the prophets culture.

He made the above remarks in reply to a reporter while attending press conference on his letter to President Bush in Jakarta in the afternoon of the third day of his stay in Jakarta. Stressing that the letter was beyond the nuclear issue, the chief executive said that in principle, the country’s nuclear case is not so significant to make him write a letter about it.

“We act according to laws and our activities are quite clear. We are rather intent on solving more fundamental global matters.”

“The letter was an invitation to monotheism and justice, which are common to all divine prophets. If the call is responded positively, there will be no more problems to be solved,” added the president.

The president said that the letter actually contained a clear message of invitation to human beliefs, adding that its response will determine the future.

Cheeky comment Re: letter reply

Scene: Oval Office,

President Bush at desk, "red phone" rings:

Pres. Bush, Ah hello?

Ahmud Dinnerjacket, Mr. President have you read my letter?

Pres. Bush, Ah yes, yes I did.

Ahmud Dinnerjacket, So what do you have to say about it?

Pres. Bush, Well ah, all I have to say is that I have good news and bad news

Ahmud Dinnerjacket, So what is the bad news?

Pres. Bush, The bad news is that we will never convert to Islam and embrace Mo.

Ahmud Dinnerjacket, Then you shall all die in armageddon!

Pres. Bush, Ahmud, that brings me to the good news. The missles are on their way (pushes button) and you will experience the armageddon you so desparately desire.

Have a nice day. Goodbye.
