“Iskrenost ne znači reći sve što čovek misli, nego ne reći nikad ono što ne misli; a čak su najopasniji ljudi koji kažu sve što im je na srci i na pameti - što na umu to na drumu. Jer oni ne govore istinu ili zabludu zato što su iskreni, nego zato što su slabi i što ne vladaju sobom. Ima često i više plemenitosti da neke istine prećutimo, nego da ih otvoreno kažemo; a mnoge vam istine ljudi kažu ne iz dobrote da bi vam koristili nego iz cinizma da bi vas unizili.”

“Islam began as a tribal religion, whereas Christianity began more as an individual or family religion. Christianity struck out from Palestine, converting one person or one family at a time. After the initial successes and conquests by Mohammed and his tribe, conversions were as much military as spiritual. Mohammed was both a political and military genius and used his success and charisma to convince the superstitious tribes around him that he had Allah on his side. As such, the sword was the instrument of persuasion.”

A need for protection and company, from which obstinate people like Morel try to escape by means of petitions, fighting committees, by trying to take the protection of species in their own hands. Our needs for justice, for freedom and dignity— are roots of heaven that are deeply embedded in our hearts, but of heaven itself men know nothing but the gripping roots ...”

It only guides that love so it protects you, her, your families and especially saves you from humiliation on judgment day.

You don't love her enough to save her from that?”

“Islam has taken everything from its wretched believers. They are robbed from their identity and self pride. All they have now is Islam. That is why Islam for Muslims is more than just a religion. It is their identity. When you criticize Islam, they perceive it as an attack on their identity and cringe with pain. They take that not only as an insult but also as an assault on their person. Like a corned animal they become vicious and fight back with all their might - a fight of survival. That is why you see such a violent reaction to a few silly cartoons.”

It makes immense claims for itself, invokes prostrate submission or "surrender" as a maxim to its adherents, and demands deference and respect from nonbelievers into the bargain. There is nothing-absolutely nothing-in its teachings that can even begin to justify such arrogance and presumption.”
