I'm reading this short story/lecture/philosophical article/essay by this dude known as Friedrich Durrenmatt (picture above this.) I have an essay of his linked at the bottom. I haven't read the whole thing and I probably won't, though I recommend reading the first page and a half (start on page 74 'first story' or so I have linked, as it is a bit of a laugh. The story concludes with the prophet Muhammad being explained to by God his reasoning for the injustices Muhammad observes. Suggesting a sort of cosmic view of justice/injustice which Durrenmatt then goes onto discuss (his conclusion: I have no idea, I stopped reading to make this post. Can someone say procrastination!)
