Treat this world as I do, like a wayfarer; like a horseman who stops in the shade of a tree for a time, and then moves on.

After reading the Qur'an, I realized that I couldn't possibly endorse Islam as a religion, as a philosophy, as a moral standard, as an ethical code, or even as useful fiction. I determined that these philosophies and this image of Allah could only come from an extremely warped and disturbed person who suffered from an aggregation of the most severe and profound human weaknesses.

The strongest man is the one who, when he gets angry and his face reddens and his hackles rise, is able to defeat his anger.(Reported by Imaam Ahmad, 5/367, and classified as hasan in Saheeh al-Jaami_, 3859)
