Ideas must counter ideas. You can drop all the bombs you want, but if you don't pull up weeds by their roots, they just grow back.

September 11 was a wake-up call to me. I don't want to contribute to the hate in any shape or form. I now regret in the past being silent about what I have heard in the Islamic discourse and being part of that with my own anger.

Our world is increasingly interdependent and pluralistic, and in order to ensure a civil future, we must get to know one another.

The fear tactic is a tactic that's used by people who want to maintain control, and it's very effective.

I think all this Facebook stuff should just stop!

My alignment is with what I perceive as just and fair. If it's with the Muslims, then I'm with the Muslims, if it's with the West then I'm with the West. It's about justice and fairness.
