To die for a religion is easier than to live it absolutely.

Wake up, people. Wake up! Intimidated as you are by your fear of going against the current - that is, appearing racist (a word which is entirely inapt as we are speaking not about a race but about a religion) - you don't understand or don't want to understand that a reverse–Crusade is in progress. Accustomed as you are to the double–cross, blinded as you are by myopia, you don't understand or don't want to understand that a war of religion is in progress.

And with that it will destroy our culture, our art, our science, our morals, our values, our pleasures.
God is absence. God is the solitude of man.
