"All of the members of this cell shared the same religious convictions,
an Islamic lifestyle, a feeling of being out of place in unfamiliar cultural
surroundings that they were not used to."

the daily companionship of Jesus of Nazareth was not.
"I want to know how God created this world.
I am not interested in this or that phenomenon,
in the spectrum of this or that element.
I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details."
"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and
restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees,
flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun,
how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls."
There come times when I have nothing more to tell God.
If I were to continue to pray in words,

May I be in Thy presence, Lord?
I have nothing more to say to Thee, but
do love to be in Thy presence."

who try to teach God his job as Creator.

"A religious man is a person who holds
God and man in one thought at one time,
at all times, who suffers harm done to others,
whose greatest passion is compassion,
who is greatest strength is love and defiance of despair."
The fact that astronomies change while the stars
abide is a true analogy of every realm of human life and thought,
religion not least of all.
No existent theology can be a final formulation of spiritual truth.
If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane.
-Robert Green Ingersoll
