Moderation is part of faith so those who accuse Muslim schools of fostering fanaticism should learn a bit more about Islam.

I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don't think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism Islam or other faiths.

We have convinced over one billion members of the Islamic faith that we are prejudiced against their religion that we would deny them freedom of religion that we want suppress their culture and invade their governments.

Mohammed was not an apparent failure. He was a dazzling success politically as well as spiritually and Islam went from strength to strength to strength.

Many spiritual teachers - in Buddhism in Islam - have talked about first-hand experience of the world as an important part of the path to wisdom to enlightenment.

I think it's been hard for people to understand how Islam can be a good religion and yet the Islamists are evil. Those of us who have had experience with Islam understand this just as we understand the difference between snake handlers and people going to church on Sunday morning.

You have to stand guard over the development and maintenance of Islamic democracy Islamic social justice and the equality of manhood in your own native soil.

I am totally against the idea that a Muslim woman should not have the same opportunities as a Muslim man to learn to open up to work help shape the future. To close Islam down to a sexist approach is totally intolerable and ridiculous. It's not Islam.

There is a group of individuals who are radical jihadists. We need to call them by name. They believe it is OK to kill people in the name of their religion. It is not all of Islam. It is not all Muslims. But there is a subgroup who believe it is OK. In fact it is their plan and design to kill people.

Islam is a religion of success. Unlike Christianity which has as its main image in the west at least a man dying in a devastating disgraceful helpless death.
