Courtesy of the inestimable Juan Cole, at Informed Comment:
Those religious zealots
are all jackasses, who’re
carrying a burden
of deceit. And
most amazing of all,
under cover
of their self-denial
they sell their religion!
They are worse than
unbelievers any day.(translated by Juan Cole from Omar Khayyam’s Rubaiyat)
Totally with you, Omar, until the zinger at the end. You mean zealots are worse than me?!
