He misunderstands that in spreading the religion of Islam or of Christianity, for example, man did not do it the right way. They confused the needs of religion with the needs of the outer world. So they began to spread their religion by methods that are not at all according to the Will of God. For example, by forcing people - even by killing people. Really, that is something that is totally not at all according to God's will. Imagine to yourself: you die and you are in front of God, God's judgement, and God asks you: 'What did you do - how did you spread my religion in this world?' And you say: 'Oh, I spread it by killing thousands of people. I killed people left and right, and I killed people of all different religions.' How can that be acceptable to God?

Jean-Talon Market in Little Italy. Montreal. I could live in these markets and never leave. But they close. And I have to work, and stuff.

 Walking up Rue St-Denis in Montreal in the UQAM area, Suziema and I stumbled into this group of stoner street musicians. This one guy had a voice like Tom Waits, and the whole thing was amazingly entertaining. Just getting high, playing to the crowd, and taking an occasional piss-break on the wall of the McDonald's there. I'm going to try to get some of the video I shot of them on here, but I'm not sure how.   Look these guys up. If you stumble across them as well, you got lucky. Loads of fun.  Wow! This might have worked. Enjoy. I guess they're bigger than I thought. They have a bunch of stuff on youtube... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHHJb3cgxLU
