I think that rather than condemning Islam, Islam needs to be studied by those who are sincere.

I found the speech, after listening to it in context, vile in manner, repugnant, malicious, mean-spirited and spoken in mockery of individuals and people, which is against the spirit of Islam. While I stand by the truths that he spoke, I must condemn in the strongest terms the manner in which those truths were represented.

I think that ego-driven leaders will be a thing of the past because the masses are tired.

Qaddafi is hated because he is the leader of a small country that is rich, but he uses his money to finance liberation struggles.

When a man refuses to take money from those who give money to politicians, you don't pay the piper and sit back and let somebody else call the tune.

My brother, this "religiosity" is not the standard by which true men of God are measured. In all the rituals that Islam has, deeply imbedded in those rituals are principles of truth. And sometimes we get lost in the religiosity; we get lost in the "symbol," but we miss the substance of the truth that is buried in the ritual!

We cannot escape what the prophets of God did not escape. If we bear it patiently and remain strong and united, Allah (God) says in the Qur'an that He loves those who are patient and steadfast under trial. We want to be those whom Allah (God) loves.
