Though Faisal Al-Qassem correctly advises the removal of religion from politics as a key to prosperity in the Mideast, he appears not to appreciate that American majorities substituted the ersatz religion of omnipotent government, which kills off potential just as effectively as any metaphysical fundamentalism.

Thomas Jefferson

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."

Aristotle

"Only an armed people can be truly free. Only an unarmed people can ever be enslaved."

Karl Popper

“A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is nonscientific. Irrefutability is not a virtue of a theory (as people often think) but a vice.”
