“The major difference is this: Crusader atrocities contradicted the New Testament whereas Muslim atrocities were in accord with the Koran” (Richardson, Secrets of the Koran, p. 158).
Unworthy of a Weed
“But in substance what I said about the dandelion is exactly what I should say about the sunflower or the sun, or the glory which (as the poet said) is brighter than the sun. The only way to enjoy even a weed is to feel unworthy even of a weed” (G.K. Chesterton as quoted in …
Lining Up with the Premises
“By the same token, what is called Islam but is not Koran-based is pseudo-Islam. Hence violent Christianity is pseudo-Christianity, but oppositely—due to the violent nature of the Koran—moderate Islam is pseudo-Islam” (Richardson, Secrets of the Koran, p. 138).
Now You’re Talking
“I wish we did not have to fritter away on frivolous things, like lectures and literature, the time we might have given to serious, solid and constructive work like cutting out cardboard figures and pasting coloured tinsel upon them” (G.K.

But I Know It When I See It
“Life and art are too complex to lay down legalistic rules. But that does not mean that there are no norms. Although one cannot define the wrong kind of seductiveness or the right kind of prettiness and the attractiveness of a woman by the length of her skirt or the depth of the décolleté, nevertheless …
