islamic years idols
It took many years to cleanse Arabia of its “false idols.” It will take many more to cleanse Islam of its new false idols-bigotry and fanaticism-worshipped by those who have replaced Muhammad's original vision of tolerance and unity with their own ideals of hatred and discord.

ignorance circles drawing
So long as we continued to attach more importance to our own narrow group membership than to the 'global village' we would propagate prejudice and ignorance. There was absolutely no harm in being part of a small group - indeed, with our hunter-gatherer band mentality it gave comfort, provided us with an inner circle of friends who could be utterly trusted, who were absolutely reliable. It helped give us peace of mind. The danger came only from drawing that sharp line, digging that ditch, laying that minefield, between our own group and any other group that thought differently. Jane Goodall

Those who want their rights respected under the Constitution and the law ought to set the example themselves of observing the Constitution and the law.

Calvin Coolidge

ignorance numbers issues
The people who see the population explosion in the Malthusian way - as a geometric progression - forget that population growth is not a biological issue.

Population growth is an ecological phenomenon linked very intimately to other issues, such as the usurpation of the resources which allow people to live. Vandana Shiva
