...cannot stand imitations, photographs, or the cinema. His tremendous reverence for language is evident in every speech, and he loves to seek word sources and double meanings. He has read Lao-tse and is something of an expert of Taoism; he loves Jewish drama and is an ardent Zionist...
...allows access to the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque to all Moslems, even those from nations with which it is technically at war. In fact, Israel's occupation has been altogether benevolent-with one exception.

"This is religious racism!" Malik shouted. "Religious fascism!" Tekoah, trembling with rage, stepped to the rostrum. Jews, he said, indeed seemed to have been chosen-"chosen to suffer."
