“In the application of Satyagraha, I discovered, in the earliest stages, that pursuit of Truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy. For, what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of Truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent but one's own self.” MayMeanSelfSufferingViolenceStageErrorsPursuitDoctrineOpponentsApplicationSatyagrahaVindicationInfliction Book:Gandhi: Selected Political Writings Source: Gandhi: Selected Political Writings
“Whenever the true message of the cross is abolished, the anger of hypocrites and heretics ceases.. and all things are in peace. This is a sure token that the devil is guarding the entry to the house, and that the PURE doctrine of God's Word has been taken away. The Church then, is in the BEST state when Satan assaileth it on every sideboth with subtle sleights, and outright violence. And likewise, it is in the WORST state when it is most at peace!” Has BeensStatesHouseChurchTakenViolenceWorstPureMessagesDevilAll ThingsCrossesCeaseDoctrineSatanSubtleHypocriteEntryHereticTokensGuarding Author:Martin Luther

“Dunbar-Ortiz strips us of our forged innocence, shocks us into new awareness, and draws a straight line from the sins of our fathers-settler-colonialism, the doctrine of discovery, the myth of manifest destiny, white supremacy, theft and systematic killing-to the contemporary condition of permanent war, invasion and occupation, mass incarceration, and the constant use and threat of state violence.” WarStatesUseFatherLinesSinWhiteDestinyViolenceConditionsAwarenessMassDrawsDiscoveryConstantThreatKillingMythDoctrineContemporaryInnocencePermanentShockOccupationManifestColonialismWhite SupremacyInvasionOur FatherTheftSystematicSupremacyStraight LinesForgedIncarcerationSettlersMass IncarcerationManifest Destiny Author:Bill Ayers
“The west is very concerned and actually afraid because the media is not informing them. There are too many moderate Muslims who are trying to whitewash the fears and concerns of the West. It's time for us to face reality - nobody is against Muslims. When I'm speaking about this situation, it's about Islamic doctrine. Islamic doctrine promotes violence and hatred against non Muslims. 60% of the Koran is dedicated to cursing and spreading hatred and violence against non-Muslims who are called 'Kaffir'.” TryingRealityFacesSituationViolenceMediaConcernConcernedHatredWestDoctrineIslamicDedicatedModeratesCursingInforming Author:Reza Aslan

“If the most important revolutionary part of the George W. Bush Doctrine is that states that harbor terrorists are terrorist states, what do we conclude from that? We conclude exactly what Kissinger was kind enough to say: These doctrines are unilateral. They are not intended as doctrines of international law or doctrines of international affairs. They are doctrines that grant the U.S. the right to use force and violence and to harbor terrorists, but not anyone else.” IfsKindImportantStatesEnoughUseLawForceViolenceAffairInternationalTerroristDoctrineRevolutionaryGrantsHarborsInternational LawInternational AffairsKissinger Author:Noam Chomsky
