After reading Dickens' A Christmas Carol, I thought this quote especially relevant in regards to religious extremism in the world today, no matter what the faith:
“There are some upon this earth of yours,” returned the Spirit, “who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name, who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us.”
-A Christmas Carolby Charles Dickens
