Loved the "remarks". Very intriguing.
An excellent speech, and very true, though his line about the "followers of Allah and Yahweh" being too-literal minded and intolerant certainly completely ignores Judaism (worshippers of Yahweh, before it was appropriated by Christianity), as Pullman is wont to do, seeing as Judaism doesn't fit into his model of oppressive religion which doesn't live up to its ideals.
