...limitation, that kind of self-destructiveness within religions; and he recalled what Muslims have done to fellow Muslims. He spoke of "great cosmopolitan cities, great seats of culture - to see they way they've been destroyed. It leads one to say, there are many things for which one can blame the U.S., but the destruction of Muslim culture by other Muslims is a self-inflicted wound. And it's a grievous wound, I think." But the answer, he says, is not necessarily to end religion. There is, he said, "to my mind a more beautiful approach to the world...
...prophet could have imagined such a mixing of beauty and brutality? Roxanna would give herself to Frederick. He was versifying aloud and completely without sense—”Young men will do’t if they come to’t. By Cock, they are to blame!”—there was no time. It would have to be now.

There is concern that Democrats not only have a better sales pitch but also that they are using better technology to attract money and turn out voters.
