Context: For generations, scientists and philosophers have tried to explain ordinary reasoning in terms of logical principles — with virtually no success.

Context: To the realpolitik cynics who say Islamist theocracy is a reality we have to live with, I respond: funny – they never said they can live with YOU!

Those who believe they speak with the absolute authority of Allah demand absolute submission.
