Dear Henry

 I am reading your book 'Cruel Hoax' and find it wonderful that at last I am not alone in thinking these things.

Having been a victim of much of what you write about in the past, and finally meeting a 'real' woman 8 years ago from Indonesia who married me, I have learned what it means to be a 'real man'. I am proud of our proper family. My Wife, a former journalist, is more than happy to be my mate, mother and home maker whilst I hunt the bison.

What I want to know is why are you not a )pilloried b) lampooned c) killed even d) allowed to publish your work at all with out getting shut down? Does this mean our society IS free if we are
smart enough to see the chinks in the walls?

I used to think the film 'The Matrix' was silly. I watched it the other day and now feel that although a fantasy, the film maker probably had a point. In a way we are living in a Matrix, but instead of it
being computer generated around us it is inside of our heads. I think you are right. The cure for the illuminati control is knowledge of these plots. I have a very feminist mother who would probably baulk on reading your book, I have so many friends who are trapped with this ideology. The one think they all have in common is they are not happy. They are also miles away from God.

I turned to Islam and so far have found it to be the most liberating experience - reconnecting with God and common sense. Sunni Islam in general is mostly independent of group control which is its strength as there is no hierarchy.

I visited a Mosque in China and the worship was identical to mosques I visited in the UK, South Africa, Indonesia and Egypt. This 'unity' is very impressive as I never found it in the Church. We are in Ramadan at present and our local masjid has a sit down meal for everyone - men women and children from all the countries of the world. Its like a United nations under one roof all following one common faith. It works very well. We are all brothers, there are no secrets. Doctors, wealthy, poor, blue collar, white collar  and cleaners sit together without any prejudice.
 Family is fundamental to the Islamic life style, as it is said that 'Marriage is one half of your religion'.

When I teach the virtues of marriage in Islam  I even tell my students that marriage is taken SO seriously that adultery is punishable with death in some countries. Likewise God promises us that making love to one's spouse is part of ones worship and great blessings and reward is promised. On the other hand sex outside of marriage is a huge sin and punished unless the offenders repent.

 Sadly some Muslims here in the west are also suckered in some are so lost they are beyond help. In fact we get more 'white western' converts to Islam (like me) than lost Muslims coming back into the fold.
 
I look forward to finishing your book.
