I am ashamed of the race of beings to which I belong. It is so cruel and bigoted, so hypocritical, so soulless and insane.

When Sufism was at loggerheads with the legalitarian Islam embodied by the doctors of the Law, known as the fuqaha', according to Henry Corbin ... Ibn Arabi made no secret of his disgust at their stupidity, ignorance, and depravity, and such an attitude was not calculated to win their favor.
