“A politician is a politician whether he's wearing a suit or a funny hat.”
Reza Aslan

“As with all journeys, the Way has an end, though it should not be imagined as a straight road leading to a fixed destination but rather as a majestic mountain whose peak conceals the presence of God. There are, of course, many paths to the summit-some better than others. But because every path eventually leads to the same destination, which path one takes is irrelevant.”
Reza Aslan, No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam

Reza Aslan
