[ANALYSIS START OF]
Every national church or religion has established itself by pretending some special mission from God,
communicated to certain individuals. The Jews have their Moses; the Christians their Jesus Christ, their
apostles and saints; and the Turks their Mahomet; as if the way to God was not open to every man alike.
Each of those churches shows certain books, which they call revelation, or the Word of God. The Jews
say that their Word of God was given by God to Moses face to face; the Christians say, that their Word

of God came by divine inspiration; and the Turks say, that their Word of God (the Koran) was brought by
an angel from heaven. Each of those churches accuses the other of unbelief; and, for my own part, I
disbelieve them all.
As it is necessary to affix right ideas to words, I will, before I proceed further into the subject, offer some
observations on the word revelation. Revelation when applied to religion, means somethingcommunicated immediately from God to man.
No one will deny or dispute the power of the Almighty to make such a communication if he pleases. But
admitting, for the sake of a case, that something has been revealed to a certain person, and not
revealed to any other person, it is revelation to that person only. When he tells it to a second person, a
second to a third, a third to a fourth, and so on, it ceases to be a revelation to all those persons. It is
revelation to the first person only, and hearsay to every other, and, consequently, they are not obliged
to believe it. Thomas Paine, Volume IV

The Brazilian president has repeated [Loop] his call for a diplomatic solution to the dispute over Iran'snuclear program, saying that new Iran sanctions would not be helpful in any way.

persuade permanent members of the United Nations Security Council that sanctions against Iran wouldsolve ³absolutely nothing.´

³I hope [Hope is a Word used by President Barack Obama during the 2008 elections] that we canconvince our Iranian friends against taking a hasty step toward developing nuclear weapons,´ Reutersquoted Lula as saying.
Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and has repeatedly declared that its nuclear program is peaceful and is being pursued within the framework of international regulations. [Iran is not amember of the International Jurisctiction Court since in Iran the Islamic Law is considered as Superior.Islam is the second most populous religion in the World. Non Islamic Terms and Definitions not strictlycompliant with Fundamental Islam are rejected by most Islamist Fundamentalists. The messageFundamental Islam through Iran to the World seems to be ³Kneel or else prepare for a Nuclear War´]
In addition, the International Atomic Energy Agency has conducted numerous inspections of Iran'snuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that Iran's civilian nuclear program has beendiverted to nuclear weapons production. [IAEA has also mentioned the need to establish a RADAR thatwill monitor Iran from Uzbekistan. Iran has repeatedly called for interrupting any cooperation with theIAEA in the recent past, especially after the latest out of the schedule ³reveal´ of the Nuclear Plant near the Iranian city of Qom.]
