Quotes and Sayings

About the Region, Islam and cultural totalitarianism...

(Unlike Muslims), the other religious groups did not have a universal mission, and the holy war was not a religious duty to them, save only for purposes of defence… They are merely required to establish their religion among their own people. This is why the Israelites after Moses and Joshua remained unconcerned with royal authority for about four hundred years. Their only concern was to establish their religion.

— Ibn Khaldun, Muqaddimah, Translated by Franz Rosenthal, pp.183-184, Princeton University Press, 1981
