Lisa Kemmerer
“This book is about what religions teach, not about what religious people believe or how they live. There is often shamefully little correlation between the two.”
Lisa Kemmerer, Animals and World Religions

“The researcher should try to rid himself of the predominance of emotions, prejudices and preconceptions. This is a demanding requirement... No man can free himself completely of emotions, prejudices, and preconceptions. Yet, an honest researcher could still try his best before an objective and fair assessment of any issue can be reached.”
Jamal A. Badawi, Muhammad's Prophethood: An Analytical View
