“No matter who you were in sixteenth-century Europe, you could be sure of two things: you would be lucky to reach fifty years of age, and you could expect a life of discomfort and pain. Old age tires the body by thirty-five, Erasmus lamented, but half the population did not live beyond the age of twenty. There were doctors and there was medicine, but there does not seem to have been a great deal of healing. Anyone who could afford to seek a doctor's aid did so eagerly, but the doctor was as likely to maim or kill as to cure. His potions were usually noxious and sometimes fatal—but they could not have been as terrible and traumatic as the contemporary surgical methods. The surgeon and the Inquisitor differed only in their motivation: otherwise, their batteries of knives, saws, and tongs for slicing, piercing, burning, and amputating were barely distinguishable. Without any anesthetic other than strong liquor, an operation was as bad as the torments of hell.”

“إننا - نحن العرب و المسلمين - خنا ديننا خيانة فاحشة فلم نحسن النظر في شيء مع صراخ الوحي حولنا " أو لم ينظروافي ملكوت السماوات و الأرض و ما خلق الله من شيء " و كانت النتيجة أن جاء - من وراء الحدود - من استخرج النفط من أرضنا ، و اقام الجسور على إنهارنا و من صنع لنا حتى الإبرة التي نخيط بها ملابسنا”
