Excerpt (3)

In the case of the Trinity, however, the Qur'an asserts that this mistaken doctrine is the inevitable result of the limitations of human imagination. If theologians do not recognize that no matter how deeply they probe, no matter how sophisticated their discourse, they will never truly understand the nature of God, they will always end up with concepts that restrict God in a way that is not in accord with his nature. Thus, the claim that Jesus is God's son is criticized in the Qur'an as a kind of "exaggeration" in religion.
39:3 tsotq

Excerpt (2)

I personally do not believe in automated link requests. The thing I say at the conferences, when I talk about them, is any link that you can get because you have sent it to "Dear webmaster, please link to our site," is not worth it; it does not have any value. Any link you can get that way is useless, and anybody that would give you a link upon receiving an email addressed to them in that way obviously doesn't understand what they're doing and must not have content that would be useful.
I hate to say it, but it's the truth. I get them every day, "Dear webmaster, please link to us." And I delete 'em.
116:5 omh
