The Augur (pl: augures) was a priest and official in ancient Rome. His main role was to take auspices: interpreting the will of the gods by studying the flight of the birds (flying in groups or alone, what noises they make as they fly, direction of flight and what kind of birds they are), known as "taking the auspices." The ceremony and function of the augur was central to any major undertaking in Roman societypublic or privateincluding matters of war, commerce, and religion. In the context of global unrest in my generationI am sometimes peace activist, but more often an entrenched war correspondent.

ON NECESSARY WAR
"Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.
"There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves."
Winston Churchill, 1948
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, who's face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who knows the greatest enthusiasm, the great devotion and sends himself into a worthy cause. Who at best, if he winsknows the thrill of high achievement, and if he failsat least fails while bearing greatness. So that his place shall never be, with those cold and timid souls, who know neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Today the hatred of the Moslem countries against the West is becoming hatred against Christianity itself. Although the statesmen have not yet taken it into account, there is still grave danger that the temporal power of Islam may return and, with it, the menace that it may shake off a West which has ceased to be Christian, and affirm itself as a great anti-Christian world Power."
Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, 1950
“Islam was not a torch, as has been claimed, but an extinguisher. Conceived in a barbarous brain for the use of a barbarous people, it wasand it remainsincapable of adapting itself to civilization. Wherever it has dominated, it has broken the impulse towards progress and checked the evolution of society.”
Andre Servier, 1922
“Islam is an absurd theology of an immoral Bedouin, a rotting corpse which poisons our lives."
Kemal Ataturk, 1919
"The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers".
Tayyip Erdogan, 2007
"I have been made victorious through terror."
Muhammad, founder of Islam
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”
Omar Ahmad, founder of CAIR
"Ignorance and virtue suck on the same straw."
Icarus Tull, 1984
“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them… We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.”
Karl Popper, 1971
