“Abdur Rab offers a comprehensive vision of Islam using the Quran as his sole religious textual source. He intentionally avoids the hadith literature, which he believes, and argues, has done much damage to the message of the Quran. His work provides many thought-provoking insights and should be a significant contribution to the 'Quran only' movement in modern Islam.” ShouldBelieveDoneLiteratureReligiousVisionModernMovementSourceOffersMessagesIslamInsightArguingSignificantDamageContributionThought ProvokingSoleProvokingComprehensiveQuranHadith Author:Jeffrey Lang
“Painting should educate and enrich. Modern painting merely offers a split-second emotion: You see it, you have an instant reaction and move on. Instead, real painting can be looked at over and over again and each time it has something new.” ShouldRealMovingEmotionModernPaintingOffersReactionsInstantSomething NewEducateSplits Author:Igor Babailov

“Kindness is a virtue neither modern nor urban. One almost unlearns it in a city. Towns have their own beatitude; they are not unfriendly; they offer a vast and solacing anonymity or an equally vast and solacing gregariousness.

“Not only do we end up with a vivid, surprising and soulful sense of one artist and his work, but Leigh also offers us a commanding view of a city, London, and country at the dawn of the modern age and of a man being overawed and overtaken by new technologies such as photography and the railways.

“The so-called Philosophy of India is even more blowsy and senseless than the metaphysics of the West. It is at war with everything we know of the workings of the human mind, and with every sound idea formulated by mankind. If it prevailed in the whole modern world we'd still be in the Thirteenth Century; nay, we'd be back among the Egyptians of the pyramid age. Its only coherent contribution to Western thought has been theosophy-and theosophy is as idiotic as Christian Science. It has absolutely nothing to offer a civilized white man.” IfsKnowsMenWorldMindHumansHas BeensStillsIdeasWarPhilosophyWholeAgeChristianSoundWhiteModernMankindCenturyOffersIndiaWestWesternContributionCivilizedHuman MindMetaphysicsWhite ManModern WorldPyramidsAbsolutely NothingIdioticChristian Science Author:H.
