I say I haven't lost my religion. I've lost my ideology.

No idea is above scrutiny. No idea whatsoever. To criticize, to scrutinize and to satirize my own religion [Islam] is not Islamophobia.

There are no globalized, youth-led, grassroots social movements advocating for democratic culture across Muslim-majority societies. There is no equivalent of Al-Qaeda without the terrorism.

Does freedom of speech give the right to offend?

Once you subscribe to an ideological dogma as a solution to certain grievances, it then frames your mindset.

Islamism is not Islam. Islamism is the politicisation of Islam, the desire to impose a version of this ancient faith over society.

After much soul searching I was able to renounce my past Islamist ideology, challenging everything I was once prepared to die for.

I believe that preventing radicalisation is far more efficient than de-radicalisation, meaning stopping someone joining is a lot easier than trying to pull someone out once they've joined.

We have to render Islamist extremism as unattractive as communism has become today.

In prison I had the opportunity to debate and discuss people that had subscribed to all forms of Islamism.

I am everything I am today, because of my past.

Maktub" (It is written.)

LIKING WHAT YOU DO IS PLEASURE, DOING WHAT YOU LIKE IS PASSION.

Since one cannot visually experience the presence of the Supersoul, He appears before us as a liberated devotee. Such a spiritual master is none other than Krishna himself.

Look I'm politically correct, I went to a great school, I was a good student, look, I'm a smart guy.

Be patient, calm, compassionate. Know that existence is fleeting.

If you are psychic you will become much more aware of the beauty of life. If you are psychic, when you look at a rose, you will see and feel the essence of the rose.

In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?

We must be faithful to the present moment or we will frustrate the plan of God for our lives.

Only those with passion can become masters.

The word abbreviation sure is long for what it means.
