WAR

"Come forth, oh ye young men of all the nations, for the Fiend is risen against you to destroy!"
Who is the Fiend that is risen against us, and wherefore wills he to destroy?
"He is your brother, who aspires Godward; and he is in arms, lest ye overthrow him and destroy."
Wherefore should we come forth against our brother? We will not overthrow the servant of the Most High.
"Be ye then overthrown and made nothing, and be ye abolished from among the servants of the Most High!"
God commanded peace, and we will preserve it. In the ways of peace we serve the Most High.
"God is enshrined among you, and ye shall preserve him. Ye shall not meekly watch his temple be cast down."
So also say our brethren whom the Fiend possesses; yet seek we not their temple to cast down.
