Arthur Dent, from the "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy," by Douglas Adams.
Went for another ‘inquiring walk’ through the Net early this morning, half asleep in my dressing gown,
Bilbo Baggins: “It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.” The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring, Tolkien.
I quickly found myself in a dark and sinister labyrinth of psychopathy only to emerge and immediately have to take care to step very carefully through the edge of the treacherous Third Sector Bog. This mire is encroaching into all areas now; Web users need to be wary. It looks deceptively green, healthy, fresh and inviting but, underneath is the stench and squelch of ancient instability, rot and decay, of germs and disease, of lies and deviation. You could, oh so easily, get sucked in without realising it until its too late and by then you are up to your neck. This area of the Third Sector Bog has a stomach-churning, Middle Eastern scent; most unpleasant. The smell of the cess-pit, or is it the S t(h)ink Tank?

Recommended, a fascinating and informative but creepy blog about sociopaths.
It has had another visitor; someone in this organisation:

DRC Modern Islamic Think Tank - Islamic Thinktank on Qur'anic Hermeneutics and research in Qur'anic Philosophy & Cosmology in the pursuit of Human Progress, ...
Welcome to the Deen Research Center. We are a Think Tank that focuses on the workings of the universe and how mankind fits into this design.
“Deen Research Center (DRC) is a non-profit organization that researches the Qur’anic cosmology and philosophy to see how it can serve mankind, based on the Arabic language used in the Qur'an and its connection with science of cosmology, biology, archaeology, history, psychology, sociology, economics, politics and philosophy. Through this research we try to see how the Qur'an can serve mankind into achieving a global ethically-based democratic pluralistic unity of mankind, where resources are shared equally, the universe is researched through scientific and philosophical means, and wherein freedom of thought, development, movement, speech, beliefs, occupation etc. are upheld and protected, so each human can develop their potentials to the fullest.”

“…….If there are so many other social issues around the world that should be brought forth why are they not addressed? Additionally, if there are so many vital causes why can’t we dedicate our time, effort and knowledge to solve them? These are all important questions asked by many people around the world that have recognized the dire need for change of the state of mankind and our planet. But interestingly, what is not known by many people around the world is that there exist sufficient resources, knowledge and welfare to solve many of these issues.
As a result, many leaders around the world have come to the realization that the path to sustainable peace and development of all nations and societies is not based on national interests or the efforts of government leaders but must in fact start with the individual citizen. For humanity to move forward as one global community we as global citizens must not only come together in unity to educate ourselves about these issues but also work concertedly with our efforts and welfare to resolve them. Here in the United States of America as one of the most pluralistic countries in the world that has established itself based upon the notions of equality, liberty and justice for all there exists a great opportunity to initiate this global movement towards sustainable peace and development of all humanity.
Thus, as a part of this movement we at the Foundation for Pluralism and DRC Thinktank have proposed a project in an effort to promote this cause, it will be called Project Soam.
Project Soam will be a collaborative societal project in the DFW Metroplex to promote social awareness, solidarity, development and co-existence amongst humanity……”

So here we are, back in familiar territory, in the unpleasantly familiar: Third Way, Big Society, One World, One Religion, Theosophical/United Nations ideal!
Pluralism!
