“Musliman mora živjeti uzdignute glave. On mora shvatiti da on jeste poseban i različit od ostatka svijeta, i on mora naučiti da bude ponosan što je različit. On mora nastojati sačuvati tu razliku kao dragocjenu kvalitetu i izricati je hrabro svijetu, umjesto da se za to opravdava i pokušava utonuti u druge kulturne krugove. To ne znači da se muslimani moraju izdvojiti od glasova koji dolaze izvana. Može se u svako vrijeme primati nove, pozitivne utjecaje od stranih civilizacija a da se nužno ne napusti svoja vlastita.”

“Muslims are absolutely integrating into the United States. You can go nearly any community and you find people opening up clinics that mostly non-Muslims go in to get services. They are feeding people who are hungry, American citizens, mostly people who are not Muslim. They`re running for office.”

“Muslims are assured in the Qur’ân, ‘You have become the best community ever raised up for mankind, enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong, and having faith in God’ (III, 110). Earnest men have taken this prophecy seriously to the point of trying to mould the history of the whole world in accordance with it. Soon after the founding of the faith, Muslims succeeded in building a new form of society, which in time carried with it its own distinctive institutions, its art and literature, its science and scholarship, its political and social forms, as well as its cult and creed, all bearing an unmistakable Islamic impress. In the course of centuries, this new society spread over widely diverse climes, throughout most of the Old World. It came closer than any had ever come to uniting all mankind under its ideals.”

“Muslims are very keenly aware of the history of their community, of the history of that relationship between their community and the rest of the world. And they have had this all through the centuries and are very much heightened by modern communications. I mean now you have Muslims in the Muslim world who can compare their situations with people elsewhere and they find that very humiliating.”

“Muslims can say that slavery is not legitimate now, and that crucifixion is wrong at this historical juncture. Many say precisely this. But they cannot condemn slavery or crucifixion outright without contradicting the Koran and the example of the Prophet. 'The only principled ground that the Islamic State’s opponents could take is to say that certain core texts and traditional teachings of Islam are no longer valid,' Bernard Haykel says. That really would be an act of apostasy.”

“Muslims consider the honor of the Prophet Muhammad to be dearer to them than that of their parents or even themselves. To defend it is considered to be an obligation upon them. The strict punishment if found guilty of this crime under sharia, the Islamic law, is capital punishment implementable by an Islamic State. This is because the Messenger Muhammad said, ‘Whoever insults a Prophet, kill him.’”

“Muslims have been an almost entirely benevolent force in the 20th century. They did not wreak the havoc the Western powers wreaked on the world. They have not come anywhere near to the environmental degradation that we've done to the planet. So I think Muslims need to be seen in the proper light. They're mostly decent, hardworking people, people with deep family values, and they want to live in peace.”

“Muslims insult all other religions. The Quran is an insult to the Jews, the Christians and everyone else. It calls the Jews apes, pigs and rats. All the non-believers are najis (filthy, impure) and hell bond. The Quran even instructs the Muslims to fight the unbelievers, chop their fingertips, behead them, crucify them and deal with them harshly. 5:33, 9:14, 9:73 However, Muslims went berserk when a Danish Newspaper published a few cartoons of Muhammad.”

“Muslims naturally saw Christendom as their arch rival. One point that is really important to bear in mind, particularly in addressing an American audience, and that is that the Islamic world has a very strong sense of history. In the Muslim world, history is important and their knowledge of history is not always accurate but is very detailed. There is a strong historical sense in the Muslim world, a feeling for the history of Islam from the time of the Prophet until the present day.”

“Mussolini ha combattuto la massoneria, cioè il grande ordine d'oriente d'Italia, più o meno nei termini pagani del progetto del signor José Cabral. Non so se abbia perseguitato molta gente, né mi interessa saperlo. Quello che so con assoluta certezza è che il Grande Ordine d'Oriente d'Italia è uno di quei morti che godono di ottima salute, Permane, si riunisce, si è depurato, e sta ad aspettare; se ci sia qualcosa da aspettare è un'altra questione. Il piccone del duce può distruggere l'edificio del comunismo italiano, ma non è abbastanza potente per abbattere colonne simboliche, fuse in un metallo che proviene dall'alchimia. Primo de Rivera ha combattuto la massoneria spagnola in modo più blando, secondo la sua indole fidalga. Anche qui so per certo che risultato ottenne: il grande sviluppo, numerico e politico, della massoneria in Spagna. Non so se alcuni fenomeni secondari, come ad esempio la caduta della monarchia, abbiano avuto qualche relazione con questo fatto. Hitler, dopo essersi appoggiato alle tre grandi logge cristiane di Prussia, ha agito secondo il lodevole costume ariano di mordere la mano che gli aveva dato da mangiare. Ha lasciato in pace le altre grandi logge, quelle che non lo avevano sostenuto e che non erano cristiane, e tramite un certo Göring ha intimato alle prime tre di sciogliersi. Esse hanno detto di sì - ai Göring si dice sempre di sì - e hanno continuato a esistere. Per una coincidenza, è stato dopo l'adozione di questa misura che sono cominciati a sorgere in seno al partito nazista contrasti e altre difficoltà. Nella storia, come il signor José Cabral saprà bene, ci sono molte coincidenze del genere.”
