A quick thought from Voltaire, because I’m out the door now.
“Be assured that one enthusiastic, factious, ignorant, supple, vehement Capuchin – the emissary of some ambitious monks – who goes about preaching, confessing, communicating and caballing, will much sooner overthrow a province than a hundred authors can enlighten it. It was not the Koran which made Muhammad succed: it was Muhammad who caused the success of the Koran.”
…and we need all the help we can get!
