There is one Islam, unreformed, but three sets of Muslims. Medina, Mecca, and. Dissidents, reformers, whatever you want to call them. The first group are the extremists and fundamentalists, the second the great mass of Muslims who just want to live their lives in peace, and the third are reformers.

I would like to be judged on the validity of my arguments, not as a victim.

I don't believe there is such a thing as 'moderate Islam.' I think it's better to talk about degrees of belief and degrees of practice.

Americans have always welcomed people of all backgrounds, religions, and races. It's a spirit of tolerance, now energized and amplified by the cult of multiculturalism.

It takes a long time to dissolve the bars of a mental cage.

But without doubts, without a standpoint reached through questionings, human beings can't acquire knowledge.

I want people to emphasize life before death as opposed to life after death.
