Our Imam



"As for you, if you will take my advice, you will think very little of Socrates, and much more of the truth. If you think that anything I say is true, you must agree with me; if not, oppose it with every argument that you have. You must not allow me, in my enthusiasm, to deceive both myself and you, and leave my sting behind when I fly away."

[Socrates instructing Simmias and Cebes in Plato's Phaedo, tr. Tredennick].
