“Moral crusade: Public activity undertaken by middle-aged men who are cheating on their wives or diddling little boys.

“The world was sick, and the ills from which it was suffering were mainly due to the perversion of man, his inability to live at peace with himself. The microbe was no longer the main enemy; science was sufficiently advanced to be able to cope with it admirably.

“If you ask a Saudi Imam why women in Saudi Arabia can't drive, he'll say, 'Because Islam demands it.' But that's absurd, because - first of all - Islam demands no such thing; and secondly, the only country in the world in which women can't drive is Saudi Arabia. The inability to understand the difference between a cultural practice and religious belief is shocking among self-described intellectuals.” IfsWorldFirstsSelfCountryWisdomRealityReligionAsksBeliefCommunityLeadershipDifferencesReligiousJusticeClassPracticeGenerationsHuman NatureDemandEqualEthicsIslamHuman RightsAbsurdIdeologyShockingInabilityEqual RightsArabiaSaudi ArabiaSaudisReligious Belief Author:Reza Aslan
