• I"m often accused of being irreligious, and I suppose it's for this very reason. Whether it's Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Judaism, or any other ism, when a religioin is created on the subtle premise that God withholds his love and you must submit to the system to earn that love, I consider it the worst of corruptions... For centuries, the church has been telling us that if we want God to love us, we need to follow the rules. It's been far more important to focus on the sin problem than the love problem.

• Complete non-violence is complete absence of ill-will against all that lives. It therefore embraces even sub-human life, not excluding noxious insects and beasts.

• Shiva... is the only hunter that will ever catch the wild swan; The prey she will take last is the wild white swan of the beauty of things.

She will build a nest of the swan's bones and hatch a new brood, Hang new heavens with new birds, all be renewed.

• The cartoonists treated Islam the same way they treat Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and other religions.

The cartoons are including, rather than excluding, Muslims.
