We tend to forget in the West that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than Al Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims.

The Islamic method of waging war is not to kill innocent civilians, but it was Christians in World War II who bombed civilians in Dresden and Hiroshima, neither of which were military targets.

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

Islamic law is clearly against terrorism, against any kind of deliberate killing of civilians or similar 'collateral damage.'

Our enemy is not Islam. Islam is not the enemy of America; Americans are not the enemy of Islam. Our real enemy is extremism and radicalism.

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

Bigotry toward any faith community cannot have any place in civilized society anywhere in the world.

My life has been devoted to peacemaking.

I have never made a threat. I've never made a threat, never expressed a threat, never - I've never - I would never threaten violence ever, because I am a man of peace, dedicated to peace.

God says in the Quran that there is only one true religion, God's religion. It's the same theme that God revealed to all of the prophets, even before Muhammad.

We are not going to toy with our religion or any other. Nor are we going to barter. We are here to extend our hands to build peace and harmony.

Fricking son of a popcorn pimp!

It's hard to hear the story of a love affair between two straight men, one of whom is the most divine woman alive.

There is only laughing across the land as the car moves you along, on your way someplace with love in the car.

We take less pains to be happy, than to appear so.

The artist discards all theories, both his own and those of others. He forgets everything when he is in front of his canvas.

Being still and doing nothing are two completely different things

I know of no sorrow greater than that occasioned by a delay of the post.

Did you know that every two hours the nations of this world spend as much on armaments as they spend on the children of this world every year?

Looking back, I wish I could bottle the stuff that made it better, but how can one bottle time?

Let me be ignorant, and in nothing good, but graciously to know I am no better.
