The Jewish Home | AUGUST 18, 2022 Notable Quotes

He spent over $30 million resisting efforts to do that.
George Bush had an executive order that said, “You know what? I’m not going to do this.” And that was adjudicated. But now we go after a president and go to his house with 30 agents. In the past, when a high official was called for a Congressional subpoena, [Obama A.G.] Eric Holder just said [he’s] not going and [he’s] not turning over any of the [documents regarding “Fast and Furious.”]
The idea that you would put him in shackles or you’d confront him with his family and grab his phone is just ridiculous. But this is what we’re doing, on an ideological basis. And when you start to do that, you don’t have a democracy anymore, and I don’t think we do.

By insulting the sacred matters of Islam and crossing the red lines of more than one and a half billion Muslims and all followers of the divine religions, Salman Rushdie has exposed himself to the anger and rage of the people.

Islam is still a much more fundamentalist religion than any of the other religions in the world.
