Salman Rushdie
“Fundamentalism isn't about religion, it's about power.”
Salman Rushdie

Amos Oz
“As the questions grow harder and more complicated, people yearn for simpler answers, one-sentence answers, answers that point unhesitatingly to a culprit who can be blamed for all our suffering, answers that promise that if we only eradicate the villains, all our troubles will vanish.”
Amos Oz, שלום לקנאים
