“There is a fundamental difference between the Jewish idea of creation and that of Islam. The creation according to Islam is not a unique act in a given time but a perpetual and constant event; and God supports and sustains all existence at every moment by His will and His thought. Outside His will, outside His thought, all is nothing, even the things which seem to us absolutely self-evident such as space and time. Allah alone wishes: the Universe exists; and all manifestations are as a witness of the Divine will.” IdeasSelfMomentsSeemsUniverseGivenWishDifferencesSpaceExistenceSupportEventsCreationDivineUniqueFundamentalsConstantIslamWitnessManifestationPerpetualEvidentTime And SpaceDivine Will Author:Aga Khan III
“Internal differences within the Nation of Islam forced me out of it. I did not leave of my own free will. But now that it has happened, I intend to make the most of it. Now that I have more independence of action, I intend to use a more flexible approach toward working with others to get a solution to this problem.” UseProblemActionNationsDifferencesMy OwnHappenedApproachSolutionsIndependenceIslamInternalsFree WillFlexibleWorking With OthersNation Of Islam Author:Malcolm X
“I don't find any difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalists. I believe religion is the root, and from the root fundamentalism grows as a poisonous stem. If we remove fundamentalism and keep religion, then one day or another fundamentalism will grow again. I need to say that because some liberals always defend Islam and blame fundamentalists for creating problems. But Islam itself oppresses women. Islam itself doesn't permit democracy and it violates human rights.” IfsNeedsBelieveHumansProblemReligionI BelieveGrowsDifferencesDemocracyRightsAtheismOne DayCreatingRootsBlameIslamHuman RightsIslamicRemovePermitStemFundamentalismPoisonous Author:Taslima Nasrin
“Christian scholars often say that Sufi theories are close to those of Christianity. Many Moslems maintain that they are essentially derived from Islam. The resemblance of many Sufi ideas to those of several religious and esoteric systems are sometimes taken as evidence of derivation. The Islamic interpretation is that religion is of one origin, differences being due to local or historical causes.” IdeasSometimesChristianCausesDifferencesReligiousChristianityTakenTheoryEvidenceHistoricalIslamDuesLocalsIslamicInterpretationScholarSufiResemblanceEsoteric Book:The Elephant in the Dark Source: The Elephant in the Dark

“If you ask a Saudi Imam why women in Saudi Arabia can't drive, he'll say, 'Because Islam demands it.' But that's absurd, because - first of all - Islam demands no such thing; and secondly, the only country in the world in which women can't drive is Saudi Arabia.
