What is the mind of God? What does God really think about what is going on in the world today? No one can answer that question and I think that is the most important message in the speech. It is something that people need to take into account before they do things that have a lasting effect on the lives of the people around them. When people decide that God is telling them to kill other people, are they really sure about that? Is that something that God really wants them to do? Does that fit in with the teachings of the Bible, Koran, or other religious work?
Many people get the wrong idea about religion based on the actions of extremists within that religion. For example, the suicide bombers, or self martyrs as they call themselves, of Islam believe they are fulfilling the will of God. Who knows the will of God? No one but God. These people do not represent the mainstream Muslim belief. They do not have the same convictions and beliefs that most Muslims have today. Most of them would not say they think murdering other people is what God would want to be done. We need to look at the foundations of religion and not the extremists when we evaluate religion.
