Quotes edit
- Do not forget also that lslamic society actually in existence is that in which the religious head is an ignorant Mullah, the spiritual head an immoral Pir, the political guide a power-intoxicated feudal landlord . ... their cry of 'Islam is in Danger' became a cloak for dark deeds and reactionary moves, complacency and tyranny. Such is the extent to which mockery can be made of Islam in these days of capitalist subterfuge and commercialized politics.
- as quoted in Tariq Ali, Can Pakistan Survive, The Death of a State-Penguin Books Ltd (1983)
