"The further one goes..."

                                              I've written (somewhat) extensively on the True Nature of Islam, that it is a Religion that is fundamentally REJECTIVE* of ANY >>>Future<<< that ISN'T based upon the Teachings of Its Ancients .   Here it is where CHANGE of ANY sort is not only Blasphemic* but HERETICAL as well .   The further one is removed from Mohammed and his Teaching, the more his Teaching is DILUTED .   HERE there is Islamic FEAR that this Dilution will somehow INVIGORATE >>>Reluctance<<< by 'jus reg-lar' Muslims to adhere to "The Way of the Ancients" thereby causing a diminishment (diminution) of Devotion which would then result in a WEAKENING of not only Iran's Power but that of Islam globally .

                          Oddly, there is an Ancient Chinese phrase that can be applied at this Here : "The further one goes, the less one knows" .  (Lao Tzu)
