Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought. A theory however elegant and economical must be rejected or revised if it is untrue; likewise laws and institutions no matter how efficient and well-arranged must be reformed or abolished if they are unjust. Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override. For this reason justice denies that the loss of freedom for some is made right by a greater good shared by others. It does not allow that the sacrifices imposed on a few are outweighed by the larger sum of advantages enjoyed by many. Therefore in a just society the liberties of equal citizenship are taken as settled; the rights secured by justice are not subject to political bargaining or to the calculus of social interests.


John Rawls

إذا بات قدر الكاتب الذى يعلن إنتمائه الاسلامى و يصر أن يخوض بدينه معركة التقدم , أن يواجه فى مسيرته ثلاث معارك فى آن واحد . أولها ضد الناقدين للإسلام , و ثانيها ضد المتربصين بالعاملين فى ميدان الدعوة , و الثالثة مع فصائل المتدينين انفسهم
