穆斯林回到了静态、不变的宇宙和控制当局。他们逃避了自由的责任。穆斯林的生活停滞了六个世纪,因为穆斯林不再知道个人可以控制自己,对自己的行为、自己的生活以及他们创造的人类世界负责。
(Moslems had gone back to the static, changeless universe and the controlling Authority. They had escaped from the responsibility of freedom. Moslem life was stagnant for six centuries because Moslems no longer knew that individuals control themselves and are responsible for their own acts and their own lives and for the human world they make.)
