Islam came to teach us that there is no faith without intelligence and here we are: destroying our intelligence in the name of faith.

Never forget your dialogue with God, it is your strength.

For Muslims, the source of everything we do is based in the belief that there is one God, and this one God is revealing to us there is one humanity with equal dignity for each, beyond faith, color and social status. Whatever your status, color, background or religion, you have the same dignity.

The more I know, the best I believe. The more I know, the best I'm worshiping Him. Because, in the end Allah knows the best.

There is dignity in your being even if there's indignity in what you're doing.

To Islamize doesn't make sense to me. But to center, but to have intellectual empathy and modesty - all these dimensions are important on how we look at truth.

It is important that the Muslim leaders, scholars, and intellectuals are much more vocal and explain what Islam is.
