Isn't it ironic and satirical that Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) lived a very humble and simple life?
While the rulers today in the name of the message that they both spread seems to LOVE the indulgence of wealth. King Abdullah, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques has an estimated personal wealth of 25 billion, his palaces everywhere withing the country. Pope Benedict, the current head of the Roman Catholic Church in the Holy See of the Vatican, has a whole country as a place he resides in. While Jesus and Muhammad (pbut) wore simple garments, the two modern counterpart rulers wear expensively and luxuriously. While the two Messengers (pbut) lived in small houses and were pinched by hunger, the King and the Pope have countless of palaces in abundance all across their own sovereignty and abroad. Jesus and Muhammad (pbut) preached to live humbly, and to not indulge deeply in material wealth. Have these two modern rulers rejected that message they believed in? Your views are welcome, thank you in advance. (Any negative answer/comment that is likely to incite hatred against Christians and Muslims will not be tolerated.)

I like the bracket part. We live in different time but the same ages. The seventies have a different fashion and it was good to them. A slave man grand, grand, grand children can be a President of a nation. This is a crazy world.
