'Fundamentalism, in all religious traditions, is
impervious to suppression. The more one tries to squelch it, the
stronger it becomes. Counter it with cruelty, and it gains adherents.
Kill its leaders, and they become martyrs. Respond with despotism, and
it becomes the sole voice of opposition. Try to control it, and it will
turn against you. Try to appease it, and it will take control.'
- Reza Aslan, 'No God But God'
