"We are Christians, white and wealthy with the nuclear bomb. They are Muslims, brown and poor who buy their guns from us. The religion of a bunch of sand niggers has nothing to offer us", the white man thinks. "They are the backward brown people whose women dress up in black bin bags with slits for eyes who want to blow us up. There is no need to read the Koran because I already know how much I hate Muslims. The Koran is also the holy book of people to whom we were once colonial masters. It is the religion of losers and submitters."
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
