Profound. One cannot pick it up and understand its meaning when nearly every sentence is the subject of annotations, commentaries, glosses, and superglosses. Such a document requires intensive study of its context, development, and rival interpretations. The U.S. Constitution offers a good analogy: its Second Amendment consists of a just 27 words ("A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed") but it is the subject of numerous book-length studies. No one coming fresh to this sentence has any idea of its implications.

Translation: "Outsiders cannot understand our sacred writings. So stop pointing out embarassing passages which reveal our true intentions, and just listen to our PR"

[Luis Gonzalez]

"...reveal our true intentions...

Which is what you're doing here.

So, Daniel Pipes, who is currently the most strident voice warning of the dangers of extreme Islam to America, the man who counsels the U.S. government in the need to maintain a watchful eye on American Muslims, to disallow the entry into the U.S. of known Islamism supporters, etc. is actually conducting PR for extreme Islam?

You are deranged.
