“Bir kadının içine doğduğu ve altında yaşadığı en yıkıcı kültürel koşullar, insanın ruhuna danışmadan boyun eğmesinde ısrar eden; bir kadını ruhu ile toplum arasında seçim yapmaya zorlayan; ekonomik zümreler ya da kast sistemleri nedeniyle başkalarına merhameti engelleyen; bedenin 'temizlenmesi' gereken bir şey ya da emirle düzene sokulacak bir tapınak olarak görüldüğü; yeni, olağandışı ya da farklı olanın hiçbir zevk uyandırmadığı; merak ve yaratıcılığın ödüllendirilmek yerine cezalandırılıp küçümsendiği; ruhun kendi başına bir varlık olarak kabul edilmediği toplumlarda görülür. Yasaklamalarına uymak için sizden ruhunuza zarar vermenizi talep eden bir kültür, gerçekte çok hasta bir kültürdür. Bu 'kültür' kadının içinde yaşadığı kültür olabileceği gibi, bundan daha kahredici olmak üzere, kendi zihninde taşıdığı ve uyum gösterdiği bir kültür de olabilir.”

“The violent injunctions of the Quran and the violent precedents set by Muhammad set the tone for the Islamic view of politics and of world history. Islamic scholarship divides the world into two spheres of influence, the House of Islam (dar al-Islam) and the House of War (dar al-harb). Islam means submission, and so the House of Islam includes those nations that have submitted to Islamic rule, which is to say those nations ruled by Sharia law. The rest of the world, which has not accepted Sharia law and so is not in a state of submission, exists in a state of rebellion or war with the will of Allah. It is incumbent on dar al-Islam to make war upon dar al-harb until such time that all nations submit to the will of Allah and accept Sharia law. Islam's message to the non-Muslim world is the same now as it was in the time of Muhammad and throughout history: submit or be conquered. The only times since Muhammad when dar al-Islam was not actively at war with dar alharb were when the Muslim world was too weak or divided to make war effectively. But the lulls in the ongoing war that the House of Islam has declared against the House of War do not indicate a forsaking of jihad as a principle but reflect a change in strategic factors. It is acceptable for Muslim nations to declare hudna, or truce, at times when the infidel nations are too powerful for open warfare to make sense. Jihad is not a collective suicide pact even while "killing and being killed" (Sura 9:111) is encouraged on an individual level. For the past few hundred years, the Muslim world has been too politically fragmented and technologically inferior to pose a major threat to the West. But that is changing.”

“We are the centuries... We have your eoliths and your mesoliths and your neoliths. We have your Babylons and your Pompeiis, your Caesars and your chromium-plated (vital-ingredient impregnated) artifacts. We have your bloody hatchets and your Hiroshimas. We march in spite of Hell, we do – Atrophy, Entropy, and Proteus vulgaris, telling bawdy jokes about a farm girl name of Eve and a traveling salesman called Lucifer. We bury your dead and their reputations. We bury you. We are the centuries. Be born then, gasp wind, screech at the surgeon’s slap, seek manhood, taste a little godhood, feel pain, give birth, struggle a little while, succumb: (Dying, leave quietly by the rear exit, please.) Generation, regeneration, again, again, as in a ritual, with blood-stained vestments and nail-torn hands, children of Merlin, chasing a gleam. Children, too, of Eve, forever building Edens – and kicking them apart in berserk fury because somehow it isn’t the same. (AGH! AGH! AGH! – an idiot screams his mindless anguish amid the rubble. But quickly! let it be inundated by the choir, chanting Alleluias at ninety decibels.)”
