 Two quotes from the Leonard Pitts' column that appeared in the (Utica, NY) Observer Dispatch about Malala Yousufzai the school girl that the Taliban attempted to assasinate: "...punitive people of faith are often too glib, facile and mean in claiming to have divined the divine. Just as often, their interpretations say less about God than about them, the things they hate and fear, the narrowness of their vision, the niggardliness of their souls." A second quote: "Take it all as a stark reminder that too often, people who speak glibly of the will of God really describe no will higher than their own. They presume to interpret God like tarot cards of the stock market,..." This is true not only of the Taliban but some people who are Christen, Jewish, or from some other faith group can make the same mistake.
