- From what I know, Dr. Dahesh was against organized religions and he was fighting those organizations. Knowing the corruptions that arose from organized religions, Why would he then instruct for Dahishism to become another organized religion? I hope someone can answer this question for me.
- In reply to the unsigned claim above, I would like to say that I knew Dr. Dahesh for over 25 years, witnessed his astonishing miracles, read his books, and believe in him as my guiding prophet, and I also strongly believe that he respected all religions, and told me more than once that they all have the same essence. He has a great spiritual message of salvation, and a life worth reading about. His style and ideas remind me of another genius from Lebanon, Kahlil Gibran, who wrote The Prophet, The Forerunner, Khalil The Heretic, Jesus the Son of Man... and others. Dr. Dahesh has quite an impressive legacy in Lebanon and beyond. In NYC there is a (jewel box) of a museum that houses his art collection Dahesh Museum of Art, and there is also a publishing company named after him Dahesh Heritage & the Daheshist Publishing Co.located in the Newsweek building on Columbus Circle, so far they've printed and published over 150 books by and about him, and they also publish a fine bilingual (Arabic-English) periodical called Dahesh Voice. That magazine has several contributors with impressive literary backgrounds, from professors at Ivy league universities, to poets, medical doctors, thinkers and cultural figures from around the Middle East and beyond.

- I am the person that logged the very first comment and unfortunately somebody tagged another message to my paragraph which I separated as a second "*". For the record I was not questioning Dr. Dahesh's exsistence nor his legacy. My question was simple and based on the review that was written about dahishism on wikipedia and is apparently removed since. In that review it was stated, and I paraphrase, that dahishists will have temples and priests and so on... Sounded like an organized religion to me. But not to worry the review is no longer here :) thanks anyway.
Doesn't Dr. Dahesh think he is the re-incarnation of Jesus Christ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.26.55 (talk) 21:08, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
