its rivers flowing with milk of eternal taste, its streams of wine,
its delights and its virgins. Life is the product of disobedience and
this disobedience is the work of the ARTIST.
The fundamentalist resents the artist, who gives life to matter and leads pure souls away
from paradise with sick ideas, a devilish drawing, a bewitching song

of a blind and often violent fundamentalism. Pressure from the
fundamentalists overwhelms that of the moderates. The voice of reason
struggles to be heard.

is threatening our most basic freedoms, Jawad Rhalib questions Islamic
