...despotic regime, the class of tyrants—a group separate unto themselves—ensures the equality of the ruled. There are no leaders and followers, here. The class of people cannot distinguish among themselves, for they are all kept permanently in a static equality. The unlimited authority of the autocracy consolidates all power onto itself, and the people abjure all claim to it. It may so happen that the despots enforce a state of equal immiseration, or it may be that they produce one of equal good fortunes. In either case, the ruled class, fixed in place under...

...make that happen. "This is the way forward," says Ford. "To combine Muslim solidarity around core teachings together with friendly address to Christians and respect for the public good as a whole." The letter ends with a quote from the Koran - "Vie one with another in good works ... Unto God ye will all return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ" - before making a final plea for peace: "So let our differences not cause hatred and strife between us. Let us vie with each other only in righteousness and good works." Surely that's a sentiment...
