“Contrary to popular misconception, Islam does not mean peace but rather means submission to the commands of Allah alone. Therefore, Muslims do not believe in the concept of freedom of expression, as their speech and actions are determined by divine revelation and not based on people's desires.” PeopleBelieveMeanDoeActionDesireDivineExpressionSpeechConceptsIslamDeterminedContraryCommandRevelationsSubmissionMisconceptionFreedom Of ExpressionDivine Revelation Author:Anjem Choudary

“He [the artist] ought to have 'these powerful organs of expression' - colour and chiaroscuro - entirely at his command, that he may use them in every possible form, as well as that he may do with the most perfect freedom; therefore, whether he wishes to make the subject of a joyous, solemn, or meditative character, by flinging over it the cheerful aspect which the sun bestows, by a proper disposition of shade, or by the appearances that beautify its arising or its setting, a true "General Effect" should never be lost sight of.” ShouldWellsMayCharacterUseFormArtistLostWishPerfectPowerfulSunSubjectsEffectsExpressionOughtAspectSightAppearanceSettingCommandSettingsColourOver ItShadeOrgansDispositionCheerfulSolemnJoyousChiaroscuro Author:John Constable
“It is a truism, of course, that in "democratic" states the populace must be encouraged to imagine that it makes important decisions by voting, and must therefore be controlled by suitable propaganda, which implants ideas to which the voters respond as automatically as trained animals respond to words of command in a circus, thus leaving to the masses only a factitious choice between Tweedledum and Tweedledee on the basis of their preference for a certain kind of oratory, a hair-style, or a particular facial expression.” KindImportantIdeasStatesCertainChoicesCoursesDecisionAnimalImagineStyleParticularExpressionHairMassBasesDemocraticLeavingCommandPropagandaVotingControlledVotersImagine ThatPreferenceCircusSuitableFacialOratoryBe EncouragedImportant DecisionsImplantsTruismFacial Expression Author:Revilo P.

“The slogan offers a counterweight to the general dispersion of thought by holding it fast to a single, utterly succinct and unforgettable expression, one which usually inspires men to immediate action. It abolishes reflection: the slogan does not argue, it asserts and commands.” MenDoeActionInspireExpressionOffersReflectionArguingCommandSlogansAbolishUnforgettableImmediate ActionDispersion Author:Johan Huizinga
“The study of how substances alter gene expression is part of the field of epigenetics. Some chemical exposures appear to turn on and turn off genes in ways that disregulate cell growth and predispose for cancer. From this perspective, our genes are less the command-and-control masters of our cells and more like the keys of piano, with the environment as the hands of the pianist.” WayHandsTurnsGrowthStudyEnvironmentFieldsExpressionMastersPerspectiveKeysEnvironmentalCancerCommandCellsSubstancePianoChemicalsGenesPollutionExposureTurn-onPianistTurn OffCommand And Control Book:Living Downstream: An Ecologist's Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment Source: Living Downstream: An Ecologist's Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment
“The greatness of Mac Rebennack, alias, Dr. John, also known as John Crieux, rests on his command of the musical use of idiomatic expression.

“The moral absolutes rest upon God's character. The moral commands He has given to men are an expression of His character.

“Sin is not only manifested in certain acts that are forbidden by divine command. Sin also appears in attitudes and dispositions and feelings. Lust and hate are sins as well as adultery and murder. And, in the traditional Christian view, despair and chronic boredom - unaccompanied by any vicious act - are serious sins. They are expressions of man's separation from God, as the ultimate good, meaning, and end of human existence.” MenHumansWellsEndsFeelingsChristianCertainHateSinViewsExistenceAttitudeDivineSeriousExpressionDespairUltimateMurderSeparationLustCommandTraditionalBoredomDispositionForbiddenViciousAdulteryHuman Existence Author:Mortimer Adler
