Muslims have been an almost entirely benevolent force in the 20th century. They did not wreak the havoc the Western powers wreaked on the world. They have not come anywhere near to the environmental degradation that we've done to the planet. So I think Muslims need to be seen in the proper light. They're mostly decent, hardworking people, people with deep family values, and they want to live in peace.

Why do we need to justify God's existence? He exists. We need to justify our own existence.

People of the world will reject your reminders, because it reminds them that this world is temporary.

If you had one word to describe the root of all this rage, it's humiliation.

In our inherent contradictions as humans, and in order to validate our own pain, we deny the pain of others. But it is in acknowledging the pain of others that we achieve fully our humanity.

After that one fitnah, every time it calms down in one place, it starts somewhere else.

Muslims are peace-loving people generally. Among the young, yes, there are some militant attitudes. But a lot of it arises out of chivalry.
