Religion is defined by the relationship between God and man. And Islam is the submission and the acknowledgment of the human being to the creator.

In spite of the polls, the fact is that American Muslims are very happy and they thrive in this country.

Fanaticism and terrorism have no place in Islam.

Any organization or any individual that targets civilians and kills them for political agenda is a terrorist organization.

I was completely surrounded by religion from a young time. I was taught by my father. I engaged in discussions with him and many of these scholars who visited and came around the dining table, the lunch table, and attended many lectures with my dad. And so I learned the apprentice way.

'Jihad' can mean holy war to extremists, but it means struggle to the average Muslim.

I as a Muslim want you, as a Christian, to really be a perfect Christian. I want my Jewish friends to be perfect Jews, to live according to the highest principles of what it means to be a Jew, to be a Christian, to be a Muslim.
