Man kann Mohamed vieles vorwerfen, nur nicht, dass er ein Lügner war oder dass er nicht an das glaubte, was er verkündete. Seine Leidenschaft, Leidensfähigkeit und Beharrlichkeit bei allem, was er sagte und tat, belegen, dass er überzeugt war, Botschaften Gottes empfangen zu haben.
Erzähle, was in diesem Buch über Abraham steht. Er war ein Mann der Wahrheit, ein Prophet.
Just imagine for a moment what life in this country might have been if women had been properly represented in Congress. Would a Congress where women in all their diversity were represented tolerate the countless laws now on the books that discriminate against women in all phases of their lives? Would a Congress with adequate representation of women have allowed this country to reach the 1970s
without a national health care system? Would it have permitted this country to rank fourteenth in infant mortality among the developed nations of the world? Would it have allowed the situation we now have in which thousands of kids grow up without decent care because their working mothers have no place to leave them? Would such a Congress condone the continued butchering of young girls and mothers
in amateur abortion mills? Would it allow fraudulent packaging and cheating of consumers in supermarkets, department stores and other retail outlets? Would it consent to the perverted sense of priorities that has dominated our government for decades, where billions have been appropriated for war while our human needs as a people have been neglected?
My memory…is of a department without direction, composed of a lot of busy people working hard and usefully but as a whole not functioning as a foreign office. It did not chart a course to be furthered by the success of our arms, or to aid or guide our arms. Rather it seems to have been adrift carried hither and yon by the currents of war or pushed about by collisions with more purposeful craft.
Only immediate assertion of leadership by the United States could prevent war in the next decade…The President and the Secretary of State must shock the country into a realization of its peril…
Eine Weltkatastrophe kann zu manchem dienen. Auch dazu, ein Alibi zu finden vor Gott. Wo warst du, Adam? »Ich war im Weltkrieg.«
