“I draw a distinction between traditional Islam and Islamism. Islamism emerged in its modern form in the 1920s and is driven by a belief that Muslims can be strong and rich again if they follow the Islamic law severely and in its entirety. This is a response to the trauma of modern Islam.” IfsFormLawBeliefStrongRichModernDrawsResponseIslamTraumaDrivenTraditionalIslamicDistinctionEntiretyIslamic Law Author:Daniel Pipes
“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.’” IfsSaidStatesLawFoundParentCrimeHonorPunishmentObligationGuiltyProphetIslamicInsultStrictMuhammadMessengersCapital PunishmentIslamic StateShariaProphet MuhammadIslamic Law Author:Anjem Choudary
“Repeatedly and frankly we have announced that in Irans national security doctrine there is no room for atomic and chemical weapons as we consider them against Islamic laws.

“In Islam there is a line between let's say freedom and the line which is then transgressed into immorality and irresponsibility and I think as far as this writer is concerned, unfortunately, he has been irresponsible with his freedom of speech. Salman Rushdie or indeed any writer who abuses the prophet, or indeed any prophet, under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death. It's got to be seen as a deterrent, so that other people should not commit the same mistake again.” PeopleThinkingShouldHas BeensLawLinesMistakeSpeechConcernedAbuseIslamSentencesCommitProphetIslamicFreedom Of SpeechIrresponsibleImmoralitySame MistakesIrresponsibilityDeterrentRushdieIslamic Law Author:Cat Stevens
