To me it appears blasphemous to say God is 'above' logic; logic is named from the Logos, which was in the beginning with God and was God. In a Muslim story, a fallen champion saw a Crusader wielding against him a magic invincible sword bearing the name of God: ‘Sword’ he cried ‘can you strike a true believer? Do you not know the name on your blade?’ 'I know nothing but to strike straight', the sword replied. 'Strike then, in the name of God!' Logic is not partisan, and knows nothing but to strike straight; but the sword is invincible, bearing the Maker’s name.
