The only thing that is required for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing..... If one looks at the history of human social advancement, it's the story of people standing up and fighting for that which they deemed to be right and true, be it encouraging emancipation of slaves by Mohammad to a civil war to eliminate its scourge - from elevation of women from property to actual citizens

“Good people will do good things, and bad people will do bad things. But for good people to do bad things—that takes religion.” - Stephen Weinberg Why I Do Not Believe After spending ones life being a ‘believer’ a religious moderate so to say the very idea of disbelief is somehow anathema.

During the course of years at various moments I have had the occasional falling out with god along the lines of why would God create a society as unjust as ours, with the degree of suffering we have to the extra-judicial killing of a cousin to the rampant misogyny to the perversion of the human sexual instinct regarding it as evil, taboo and dirty (in Pakistani society/contemporary Islam, not

LondonI wander thro' each charter'd street,where the charter'd Thames does flow,And mark in every face I meetMarks of weakness, marks of woe. In every cry of every Man,In every Infants cry of fear,In every voice: in every ban,The mind-forg'd manacles I hear. How the Chimney-sweeper's cryEvery black'ning Church appals,And the hopeless Soldiers sighRuns in blood down palace walls But most

Most of us have had the conversation at one point or another with a 'paranoid' friend, relative etc where we were cautioned not to voice our opinions publicly lest we be considered subversive especially post 9/11 - who knows what the government is listening to.
