James Ellroy
“Don’t be so goddamn proper. Don’t be such a fucking saint.”
James Ellroy, The Black Dahlia

“In thirty years of going to study in Medina, “sitting with the ‘ulama,” “making hijrah,” distributing books from Saudi Arabia, making Dawah, pointing out bid’as, tearing down imams, taking over mosques, backbiting Muslims, putting people on and off “the minhaj,”  and calling other Muslims names, Salafis have established absolutely nothing.”
Umar Lee, The Rise and Fall of the Salafi Dawah in America: a memoir by Umar Lee

William  James
“If you love and serve men, you cannot by any hiding or stratagem escape the remuneration. Secret retributions are always restoring the level, when disturbed, of the divine justice. It is impossible to tilt the beam. All the tyrants and proprietors and monopolists of the world in vain set their shoulders to heave the bar. Settles forevermore the ponderous equator to its line, and man and mote, and star and sun, must range to it, or be pulverized by the recoil."[11]”
William James, Varieties of Religious Experience, a Study in Human Nature
