Christianity may be represented as a competitor in the realm of ideas to be considered on the basis of its merits, but this is mere disguise.

The intention was to achieve adverse psychological effects by saying to Arabs that they were defeated, in 1967, by women.”
“I do whatever my heart tells me to do.”
“The wolf dreads the pitfall, the hawk suspects the snare, and the kite the covered hook.”
