Zelf-pardonering, kent u die uitdrukking?
Of: “Hooghartig, hooghartiger, Frits van Exter” Op 30 juli 2011 verscheen in het blaadje Vrij Nederland het meest weerzinwekkende Nederlandstalige artikel dat ik ooit gelezen heb in mijn best al lange leven.

49:49. The emperor’s Old Rags (E-book)
A book about ‘Abrahamic Religions’. A large part of the book is a mercilessly precise analysis of Mohammedan thought.
BUT there is also an afterword. That afterword – entitled ‘On Monotheism, goddesses and demigods of various kinds’ – takes up about 40% of the book.
The approach of this book is formulated in that afterword too; In the section ‘Believe in gods: an Absolutely Inalienable Right’. So, although the writer of this book is an atheist, religious and spiritual movements, just like political movements are not one and the same to him. Not even those three ‘monotheistic’ religions, which together are sometimes referred to as ‘Abrahamic’: Judaism, Christianity and Mohammedanism. The funding texts of those three do have similarities. Significantly more than many people think. Until just a few years ago the author was one of them. Those are also mercilessly portrayed. Other religions are also discussed.

Ja, de auteurs van deze bundel en de stukken die ze schreven, vertonen nogal wat verschillen, ook in stijl.
De zes mannen hebben echter twee dingen gemeen: ze zijn vader en ze vrezen dat de westerse samenleving voor hun kinderen minder vrij zal zijn. In rechtstreeks aan hen gerichte brieven leggen ze hun kinderen uit waarom ze zich zorgen maken. “
