“Look at Ayatollah Khomeini's revolution and the slogans that they used: anti-imperialism; anti-colonialism; the struggle of the have-nots against the haves; the state monopoly over economy, which was very much patterned after the Soviet Union. All of these things did not come out of Islam. Islam is not that developed.” LooksStatesUsedStruggleEconomyRevolutionUnionsIslamSovietColonialismSoviet UnionImperialismMonopolySlogansKhomeini Author:Azar Nafisi

“From Obama's book, "The Audacity of Hope:" "I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex - nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount."” PeopleBookMatterStatesReadingSexLinesAcceptingChristianityRightsWillingCitizensUnionsIslamDenyHospitalsObscureSermonsHusseinDefiningCoverageAmerican CitizensMind BlowingAudacityChristianity And IslamVisitationSermon On The MountChristian HopeAudacity Of HopeHealth Insurance Coverage Author:Barack Obama
“I have already indicated to you the meaning of the word religion, as applied to Islam. The truth is that Islam is not a Church. It is a State conceived as a contractual organism long before Rousseau ever thought of such a thing, and animated by an ethical ideal which regards man not as an earth-rooted creature, defined by this or that portion of the earth, but as a spiritual being understood in terms of a social mechanism, and possessing rights and duties as a living factor in that mechanism.” MenLongStatesEarthSpiritualSocialTermChurchRightsDutyTruth IsCreaturesUnderstoodIdealsRegardIslamFactorsDefinedEthicalMechanismPortionsRootedOrganismsAnimatedPossessingSpiritual BeingsRights And Duties Author:Muhammad Iqbal
