L'anthropologie n'est ni une religion à laquelle on adhère, ni une maladie qu'on contracte. Elle est d'un même mouvement un retour sur Soi et sur l'Autre considérés ensemble, mais l'habitude d'une relation à sens unique depuis cinq siècles n'autorise pas l'inversion de cette relation a produire les mêmes effets. ↗

When I think of the causes for which people more commonly give up their lives-nationalism, religion, ethnicity-it seems to me that a thirty-five pound bag of rocks and the lost world it represents, is not such a bad thing to die for. ↗

Religion, too, is a weapon. What manner of weapon is religion when it becomes the government? ↗

إذا كان تفكيك التجربة التاريخية للإسلام يتكشَّف عن أن السياسي لم يستقل بمجال اشتغال خاص عن الديني؛ وإلى حد ما لاحظ ابن خلدون من "أن العرب لا يحصل لهم الملك إلا بصبغة دينية من نبوة أو ولاية، أو أثر عظيم من الدين على الجملة"، وبما يعنيه ذلك من أن المُلك السياسي للعرب قد راح ينبني داخل الديني ويتجذَّر في قلبه منذ لحظة التأسيس المبكرة الأولى؛ فإن أهم ما يترتب على ذلك هو ما يبدو من تصور المرء أنه يسلك بحسب ضرورات "الديني" وفروضه، فيما هو يسلك حقاً تبعاً لقواعد "السياسي" المتقنِّع بالديني والمتخفِّي في قلبه. وهنا تكمن المعضلة التى تتعصى على الانفراج في عالم الإسلام؛ وأعني معضلة التمييز بين الديني والسياسي، والتي تتأتى ابتداء من عدم اختصاص الواحد منهما بمجال خاص يشتغل داخل حدوده، وذلك على العكس من اختصاص كل منهما بمجال يخصه في عالم المسيحية؛ الأمر الذي جعل، لا مجرد التمييز، بل الفصل بينهما ممكناً ↗

Religious toleration, to a certain extent, has been won, because people have ceased to consider religion so important as it was once thought to be. But in politics and economics, which have taken the place formerly occupied by religion, there is a growing tendency to persecution, which is not by any means confined to one party. ↗

THE attention of the writer having been called to the fact that all Indo-Germanic nations have worshipped crucified Saviours, an investigation of the subject was made. Overwhelming proof was obtained that the sun-myths of the ancient Aryans were the origin of the religions in all of the countries which were peopled by the Aryans. The Saviours worshipped in these lands are personifications of the Sun, the chief god of the Aryans. That Pagan nations worshipped a crucified man, was admitted by the Fathers of the early Christian Church. ↗

Modern society, the political body, the legal and judiciary system, the state of governance, capitalism and the very fabric of the society itself, including our religions and so-called morals and values, are institutions steeped in traditions of absolute and total violence. ↗

Then there was Buddha meddling in, telling all of the Hindu, Hebrew, Christian and Islamic gods and demons that they were nothing more than unenlightened fear induced figments of nirvana-starved mortals. ↗
