Letter to Erin 20160502

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

I agree with your brother that you could be a demon.  But I love you so much.  But you're so quarrelsome with me.  But you're my wife inshaAllah, and I need you.  I could explain why this is, but what's the point if you don't listen to me.  I guess that I must be grateful with what Allah gives me, and I am very grateful.  Anyway, the ban on travel stands after we marry inshaAllah.  I'm building a tourist attraction here, and you are my wife.  Of course we can take vacations and visit your friends and family.  I'm not a tyrant.  But you had better get all your travel kicks in now, before you marry.  If you do your research, you will find that most supermodels' careers peak right before they marry.  The ones that diversify get to have longer careers.  I will help you diversify if you want, but you must help me as well.  We are a team.  It must be nice to be a beautiful woman, have the men drop like flies.  I wouldn't know.  I have to be a man, and you wouldn't want a man who dances like a woman, would you?

Oh, I might as well explain, for the people who do listen.  At the beginning of the human race, God was about to create Adam out of earth and water.  God announced to the angels that God was about to create Adam out of earth and water, and commanded them to bow to Adam.  Satan (or Iblis in the Qur'an) was a member of the jinn race, which was made of fire.  He considered himself superior to Adam, so he refused to bow to Adam.  God told Satan that it was not his place to be arrogant here, so God cast him out of heaven.  Satan said that since God cast him out of heaven, he will mislead Adam and his descendants away from God.  Later, God commanded Adam and Eve to keep away from the Forbidden Tree.  However, Satan convinced Adam and Eve to eat from the Forbidden Tree, so God banished Adam, Eve, Satan, the human race, and the jinn race to Earth until Judgement Day.  So there are two dominant species on Earth, not one.  So it wasn't Eve who lured Adam to eating of the Forbidden Tree, it was Satan who lured Adam and Eve to eating of the Forbidden Tree.  So if there is discord between man and woman, it is the work of Satan and his descendants.  Keep in mind that not all jinns are evil, just as not all humans are evil.

P.S.  Isn't it an awesome coincidence that Donald Duck goes around bare assed, and has no penis?

P.P.S.  No, I haven't read this novel.
