Tao Te Ching

“Religion—a medieval form of unreason—when combined with modern weaponry becomes a real threat to our freedoms… ‘Respect for religion’ has become a code phrase meaning ‘fear of religion.’ Religions, like all other ideas, deserve criticism, satire, and, yes, our fearless disrespect.”

— Salman Rushdie 1947 CE –
Fearless antagonist of Islamic fundamentalism
