The Profound Difference:

Hilaire Belloc, (Catholic poet): “Wherever the Catholic sun does shine, there’s plenty of laughter and good red wine.”

Ayatollah Khomeini: “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”
