More From Daniel Pipes

It's perfectly ok that there are certain people who do not accept islam at all. therefore, to announce that i am a muslim can rub some people the wrong way. but my aim is to show that those governments that violate the rights of people by invoking the name of islam have been misusing islam. they violate these rights and then seek refuge behind the argument that islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy. but this is basically to save face. in fact, i'm promoting democracy. and i'm saying that islam is not an excuse for thwarting democracy.
People Islam Democracy
Anti-islamist muslims - who wish to live modern lives, unencumbered by burqas, fatwas and violent visions of jihad - are on the defensive and atomized. however eloquent, their individual voices cannot compete with the roar of militant islam's determination, money (much of it from overseas) and violence. as a result, militant islam, with its west-phobia and goal of world hegemony, dominates islam in the west and appears to many to be the only kind of islam.
Determination Voice Goal
I don't find any difference between islam and islamic fundamentalists. i believe religion is the root, and from the root fundamentalism grows as a poisonous stem. if we remove fundamentalism and keep religion, then one day or another fundamentalism will grow again. i need to say that because some liberals always defend islam and blame fundamentalists for creating problems. but islam itself oppresses women. islam itself doesn't permit democracy and it violates human rights.
Believe Islamic Rights
I won't be a party to a conspiracy to mobilize the arabs against the persians. only the forces of colonialism benefit from such a conspiracy. i won't be a party to a conspiracy that splits islam into two - shiite islam and sunni islam - mobilizing sunni islam against shiite islam.
Party Two Islam
After iraq, there's been libya, there's syria, and the rhetoric of, you know, democracy versus radical islam. when you look at the countries that were attacked, none of them were wahhabi islamic fundamentalist countries. those ones are supported, financed by the u.s., so there is a real collusion between radical islam and capitalism. what is going on is really a different kind of battle.
Country Real Islamic
Donald trump needs to stay focused and remember the promises to you, the american people. you know the promises, repeal and replace obamacare, identify radical islam, lower taxes, repatriate corporate profits, build the border wall, appoint originalists to the supreme court, fix inner cities, energy independence, drain the swamp, send education back to the states, you know, say radical islam, vet refugees, all of these important issues, free trade.

His constant fight is with the nafs (self-interest), the root of all disharmony and the only enemy of man. by crushing this enemy man gains mastery over himself; this wins for him mastery over the whole universe, because the wall standing between the self and the almighty has been broken down. gentleness, mildness, respect, humility, modesty, self-denial, conscientiousness, tolerance and forgiveness are considered by the sufi as the attributes which produce harmony within one's own soul as well as within that of another.

Shirley's gonna be pissed," gazarra said. "she hates when i get shot." to my recollection, the only other time gazarra was shot was when he was playing quick draw in the police station elevator and his gun accidentally discharged. the bullet ricocheted off the elevator wall and lodged in gazarra's right buttock.
