Salman Rushdie indeed any writer who abuses the prophet or indeed any prophet under Islamic law the sentence for that is actually death.

There is not a single Muslim leader today who has the courage and commitment to defend Islam and Muslims they are all in awe of the United States and other Western powers and are indebted to them.

Obama has no power to change American policy because there are people who specialize in drawing these policies which have been and still are hostile towards Islam.

We should be proud that our Prophet came into the world with the message of Islam to change it for the better and not for the worse or to keep things as they are.

I lead no party I follow no leader. I have given the best part of my life to careful study of Islam its law and polity its culture its history and its literature.

I think Islam has been hijacked by the idea that all Muslims are terrorists that Islam is about hate about war about jihad - I think that hijacks the spirituality and beauty that exists within Islam. I believe in allowing Islam to be seen in context and in its entirety and being judged on what it really is not what you think it is.

In the West you have always associated the Islamic faith 100 percent with Arab culture. This in itself is a fundamentalist attitude and it is mistaken.
