"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

14 Million Radical Muslims?

"Many Muslims insist that no more than 1 percent of their number hold radical fundamentalist beliefs and profess a commitment to jihad. But 1 percent of 1.4 billion is still 14 million. Such number games are not quite meaningless, even if they don’t really get us beyond the stark premise that jihadism poses a real and seemingly growing threat to Western interests and values."
(Robert Fowler. A Season In Hell: My 130 Days In The Sahara With All Qaeda)
