“Muhammad adhered meticulously to the charter he forged for Medina, which - grounded as it was in the Quranic injunction, "Let there be no compulsion in religion" (2:256) - is arguably the first mandate for religious tolerance in human history.”
“Muhammad Ali - he was a magnificent fighter and he was an icon... Every head must bow, every knee must bend, every tongue must confess, thou art the greatest, the greatest of all time, Muhammad, Muhammad Ali.”
“Muhammad Ali could take a very good punch. He was slick, he could move, he could hit, make you miss, good hand speed and combinations and one of the greatest fighters of all time in my opinion.”
“Muhammad Ali is a combination of personality and athlete who is probably better known around the world than any other. He became a great hero.”
“Muhammad Ali put an end to the idea that you can't be an American and a Muslim.”
“Muhammad Ali was the kind of guy you either loved or hated, but you wanted to see him. I happen to really love him. He brought boxing to another level and always made you laugh.”
“Muhammad Ali, the Jim Browns, the Bill Russells, Kareem [Abdul Jabbar ], these individuals supported us, but yet still, when you sit back and say the coverage that was done relative to their support was very shallow.”
“Muhammad Ali: Superman Don't need no seat belt. Flight Attendant: Superman Don't need no airplane, either.”
“Muhammad aware of what to look for and he handled it on his own. He did his own thing. I never programmed him.”
“Muhammad brought down from heaven and put into the Koran not religious doctrines only, but political maxims, criminal and civil laws, and scientific theories. The Gospels on the other hand, deal only with the general relations between man and God and between man and man. Beyond that, they teach nothing and do not oblige people to believe anything. That alone, among a thousand reasons, is enough to show that Islam will not be able to hold its power long in ages of enlightenment and democracy, while Christianity is destined to reign in such ages, as in all others.”
“Muhammad brought the promise that anyone could find fulfillment and everlasting life through allegiance to the one true God. The Buddah held out hope that the suffering could be transcended. Jesus brought the message that even the last shall be first, that even the tax collectors and lepers - the outcasts - had cause for hope. And so that is the question I leave you with in this final: What is your cause for hope.”
“Muhammad divided the world in two sectors. One he called Dar us Salam (House of Peace) and the other, Dar al Harb (House of War). All countries, where Islam is not the ruling authority, are Dar al Harb. It is the duty of the Muslims to wage Jihad in Dar al Harb, overthrow the governments and force people into submission. This is the only kind of peace that Islam recognizes.”
“Muhammad established a religion by putting his enemies to death; Jesus Christ by commanding his followers to lay down their lives.”

“Muhammad has always been standing higher than the Christianity. He does not consider god as a human being and never makes himself equal to God. Muslims worship nothing except God and Muhammad is his Messenger. There is no any mystery and secret in it.”
“Muhammad is more human, more self-doubting, even self-tortured at times. His story is full of adventure, intrigue, betrayal.”
“Muhammad professed to derive from Heaven, and he has inserted in the Koran, not only a body of religious doctrines, but political maxims, civil and criminal laws, and theories of science. The gospel, on the contrary, only speaks of the general relations of men to God and to each other - beyond which it inculcates and imposes no point of faith. This alone, besides a thousand other reasons, would suffice to prove that the former of these religions will never long predominate in a cultivated and democratic age, whilst the latter is destined to retain its sway at these as at all other periods.”
“Muhammad says, 'Love of one's country is a part of the faith.' But don't take that literally! Your real 'country' is where you're heading, not where you are. Don't misread that hadith.”
“Muhammad sets the model for being a good statesman. He also sets the model for being a good warrior, for chivalry, of nobility, of all the things which the Quran and Hadith [The recorded collections of the sayings and traditions of the Prophet] says of treating your enemy with dignity and kindness.”
“Muhammad teaches us the knowledge of our own selves, and of our own people. He cleans us up-morally, mentally and spiritually”
“Muhammad was a great man, an intrepid soldier; with a handful of men he triumphed at the battle of Bender (sic); a great captain, eloquent, a great man of state, he revived his fatherland and created a new people and a new power in the middle of Arabia.”
“Muhammad was a jackass. People who believe in him are stupid. Let us call a spade as spade. These people must be laughed at. They, and their screwball prophet have to be ridiculed not respected. Let them cringe, let them wince, let them agonize. We must demolish this fetish and break the shackles of these wretched people. They must be set free and the only way to do that is to demolish their fetish.”
“Muhammad was a narcissist and Muslims, by having entered into his bubble universe have become narcissists by extension. More precisely, they are reverse narcissists. A commonly used term for reverse narcissist is co-dependent.”
“Muhammad was a prince; he rallied his compatriots around him. In a few years, the Muslims conquered half of the world. They plucked more souls from false gods, knocked down more idols, razed more pagan temples in fifteen years than the followers of Moses and Jesus did in fifteen centuries. Muhammad was a great man. He would indeed have been a god, if the revolution that he had performed had not been prepared by the circumstances.”
“Muhammad was the exemplar ruler, exemplar father, exemplar warrior, and once you have a family, you have contentions, you have problems, human problems, and it's the human order. He set the example and model for Muslims for all the different endeavors. He is not only the example of the spiritual life, but he is also an example for our life in this world.”
“Muhammad was, first of all, a Prophet of course, a beloved and lover of God, a father, an army commander, a judge, a ruler of a community, the King of Medina and later of Arabia, and all of these were combined in him and his destiny, the reason God brought him on earth, was to show how each of the functions which human beings have in life have the perfect form in the prophet.”
“Muhammad ﷺ is for us, an EXAMPLE and GUIDE,
The GREATEST Prophet, in him we take pride.
Spread GOODNESS wherever you go, but make sure,
That in your heart, your intentions remain PURE.
Take yourself to account, before you’re accounted for,
So that in this life and the next, you’ll be successful forevermore.”

“Muhammad's is one of those rare lives that is more dramatic in reality than in legend. In fact the less one invokes the miraculous, the more extraordinary his life becomes. What emerges is something grander precisely because it is human, to the extent that his actual life reveals itself worthy of the word 'legendary'.”

“Muhammad, my friend, I'm getting very scared. Teach me how to love my brothers who don't know the law, and what about the deal on the flying trapeze?”
“Muhammadan law in its relation to women, is a pattern to European law. Look back to the history of Islam, and you will find that women have often taken leading places - on the throne, in the battle-field, in politics, in literature, poetry, etc.”
“Muhammed, ibrazın (görüş) ve aynaların parlaklığıdır, alem ve yaratılışın gözünün suretidir. Suçların şefaatçisi tek odur ve yoksulluk dünyasının en kâfi hazinesidir!”

“Muhammed, iman sahibi erkeklere, köle kadınları "cariye" (odalık) olarak şehvet aracı şeklinde kullanma olasılığını sağlamıştır. Arapların kadına ne kadar düşkün olduklarını bildiği için, şu veya bu nedenle kadınsız kalmasınlar diye bu yolu düşünmüştür. Gazali bu konuda şöyle der:
"Arap kavminde şehvet galip olduğu için, sâlih olanları da daha çok evlenme ihtiyacı duyarlar... Kalbin huzurunu sağlamak ve zinayı önlemek için cariye ile evlenmek mubah olmuştur..."
Bundan dolayıdır ki Muhammed Kur’an’a bu olasılığı sağlayacak hükümler koymuştur. Örneğin Nisâ suresinde, "imanlı hür" kadınlarla evlenmeye gücü yetmeyen Müslüman erkeklerin, kendi elleri altında bulundurdukları cariyeleri alabilecekleri yazılıdır:
"İçinizden, hür mümin kadınlarla evlenmeye güç yetiremeyen kimse, ellerinizin altında bulunan imanlı genç kızlarınız (sayılan) cariyelerinizden alsın..." (K. Nisâ 25).”

“Muhammed'in “Cahiliyet” diye küçümsediği İslam öncesi dönemlerde kölelerin elleri “demir bukağı” (ki Türkçe'de buna “lâle” tabir olunur) ile boyunlarına zincirlenirdi; bundan dolayıdır ki bunlara “laleli esirler” denirdi. Hem haysiyet kırıcı ve hem de bedenî bakımdan eziyet ve işkence niteliğinde olan bu ilkel geleneği Muhammed değiştirmemiştir; köleliği bu şekliyle, yani kölelerinin ellerinin boyunlarına bağlanması usulüne uygun olarak sürdürmüştür. O kadar ki “laleli esirlerin” bu halini, ibret alınmak gereken bir şeymiş gibi Kur’an’da zikretmekten bile geri kalmamıştı”

“Muhammed'in söylemesine göre Tanrı, köleliği doğal bir kuruluş olarak benimsemiş ve Kur’an hükümleriyle o şekilde düzenlemiştir. Gerçekten de Nahl ve Rum surelerinde, "rızkı bol ve hür" kişilerle, bu kişilerin satın alıp sahip bulundukları kölelerden söz edilmekte, bunların birbirlerine eşit bulunmadıkları belirtilmektedir. Nahl Suresinde şöyle yazılı:
“Allah, hiçbir şeye gücü yetmeyen, başkasının malı olmuş bir köle ile, katımızdan kendisine verdiğimiz güzel rızıktan gizli ve açık olarak harcayan (hür) bir kimseyi örnek verir. Bunlar hiç eşit olurlar mı?...” (K. 16 Nahl 75)”

“Muhammed, içinden çıktığı ortamın zihniyetine saplı olarak, insanların Tanrı tarafından eşit yaratılmadıklarına inanmıştı. Bu inanca saplı bir kimsenin, Tanrı’dan gelme çeşitli eşitsizlikler yanında, köleliğin de yer almış olmasına inanması kadar olağan ne vardır?
Fakat bundan gayri bir de Arapları putlara tapmaktan vazgeçirtip tek bir Tanrı’ya taptırtabilmek için kölelik kurulusunu geçerli bilmiştir. Hemen ekleyelim ki bunu yaparken asıl düşündüğü şey, kendisini Tanrı’nın elçisi (peygamberi) imiş gibi gösterip Arapları, Tanrı’ya taparken kendisine taptırmak olmuştur.”

“Muhammed, Yahudilerle Hıristiyanları da İslama sokmak istemiş, fakat sokamayınca onlara karşı düşmanca bir siyaset izlemiştir. Bu siyasetin amacı, İslamı kabul etmelerine ya da "kendi elleriyle ve küçülerek cizye (kafaparası) vermelerine kadar" onlarla savaşmak olmuştur.”

“Muhammed, ömrü boyunca hizmetinde köle bulundurmuş, savaşlarda ele geçirilen esirlerin paylaşılması sırasında kendi payına düşen kölelere sahip olmuş, köle satın almış, elindeki köleleri para karşılığında satmış, ya da ona buna hediye olarak dağıtmış, ölümünden önceki Veda haccı vesilesiyle yaptığı konuşmada, köleleri efendilerine karsı sadık olmaya çağırarak: “... efendisinden başkasına intisaba kalkan nankör, Allah'ın gazabına, meleklerin lanetine ve bütün Müslümanların ilencine uğrasın...” (Sahih-i Buhari Muhtasari... Cilt X. sh. 398) demiş, ve ölürken de karılarına büyük araziler, hurmalıklar ve bu arada hizmetinde bulunan köleleri miras bırakmıştır.”

“Muhteşem bir dini yapı gördüğümüzde bazılarımız derhal Tanrı'yı düşünür, bazılarımız bu yapıyı kuran yetenekli işçileri düşünür, bazılarımız ise evsizlere verilebilecek paranın burada boşa harcandığını düşünür! Herkes farklı düşünüyor ve hayatın zengin olmasının nedeni budur!”
“Muhteşem manzaradan tam yararlanmak için göl kenarındaki bir evin pek çok penceresi olmalıdır; dâhice ışıklardan tam yararlanmak için bilge adamın yanındaki bir adamın pek çok penceresi olmalıdır!”
“Muhteşem manzaralar muhteşem zihinler gibidir. Her ikisi de sana sonsuzluk hissi verir!”

“Muistan kuinka "ministeriön" (maatalousministeriön) virkamiehet tulivat puhumaan hänelle heinäpeltojemme "biodiversiteetistä" ja siitä, mitä he olettivat hänen tekevän kukkien ja lintujen hyväksi vastineeksi tukiaisista. He katselivat puolentoista tunnin ajan, miten hän nyökkäili kaikelle ja oli kaikesta samaa mieltä, minkä jälkeen he lähtivät pois ja minä kysyin, mitä he oikein tahtoivat. Hän sanoi: "Ei aavistustakaan... Tuon lajin pellejen kanssa pitää toimia niin, että vastataan kaikkeen kyllä, ja kun he ovat menneet, jatketaan vanhaan malliin.”

“Muistan vieläkin hämmästyttävänä hohtavan vihreän ja kultaisen värin ja aistillisen viskositeetin viinin kieriessä laiskana lasissa kuin siestaltaan herätetty kurtisaani.”
“Muistatko? Meteori suhahti
terävänä kohden metsäämme,
en pelännyt
kätesi oli ympärilläni
Ilma jäähtyi, eläimet kuolivat,
painauduin lähemmäs sinua
ja olin onnellinen”
“Muistatko sen päivän viime lokakuussa, kun minulla oli ensimmäisen kerran kauhea päänsärky? Löysin sinut keittiöstä, sinulla oli sellainen uusi kammottava muoviesiliina. Sinä kiedoit heti käsivartesi minun ympärilleni ja silitit minun ohimoitani. Sillä hetkellä minä rakastin sinua suunnattomasti. Esiliinan natina minun syliäni vasten oli kuin liikuttava vastaus siihen kaipuuseen, jota minä silloinkin tunsin. Oli kuin jokin olisi kuiskimalla kehottanut meitä kiirehtimään, lopettamaan ajan haaskaamisen, ja minä olisin halunnut tanssia sinun kanssasi takaovesta ulos puutarhaan, kadulle, kauas horisonttiin. Voi minun rakkaani. Minä luulin että meillä olisi ollut enemmän aikaa.”
