Muhammad Ali put an end to the idea that you can't be an American and a Muslim.
I have to say that it's a weird feeling to have to respond to a Christian leader of an anti-Muslims organisation - it would be like having to respond to a Muslim leader of an anti-Jewish organisation about Judaism so the whole thing is kind of weird. Let me just say it's kind of convenient to simply pick and choose whatever violent bits and pieces one finds in the Koran and ignore the equally important versus that talk about compassion and peace.
In the past some of the most influential Jewish, Christian and Muslim theologians, such as Maimonides, Aquinas and Ibn Sina, made it clear that it was very difficult to speak about God, because when we confront the ultimate, we are at the end of what words or thoughts can do.
The heart and mind of every Muslim is affected by whether or not the Israel-Palestine issue is dealt with fairly.
The hardest [part] is some of the misperceptions that are leveled against me as a person and against Muslim women.
I'm for Barack Obama. We gotta have the Muslim cell in there just to piss Rush Limbaugh and the right wing off.
I was born Muslim, my parents are Muslim, I am Bosnian. I cannot be anything else.
Even as a Muslim minister in the Muslim movement, I have always said that I would work with any organization.
I am a Christian and a Hindu and a Muslim and a Jew.
Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation — at least, not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.
I do honestly and sincerely believe in the necessity or desirability of Hindu-Muslim unity. I am also fully prepared to trust the Muslim leaders. But what about the injunctions of the Koran and Hadis? The leaders cannot over-ride them. Are we then doomed? I hope not. I hope your learned mind and wise head will find some way out of this difficulty.
One of the things that made the Black Muslim movement grow was its emphasis upon things African. This was the secret to the growth of the Black Muslim movement. African blood, African origin, African culture, African ties. And you'd be surprised - we discovered that deep within the subconscious of the black man in this country, he is still more African than he is American.
Every human being is a Muslim by nature, not by religious practice. By nature!
A true Muslim is like rain, wherever it falls, it will benefit.
I am committed to the First Amendment principles of religious freedom, tolerance, and diversity. Whether Mormon, Methodist, Jewish, or Muslim, Americans should be able to participate in their constitutional free exercise of religion. I do not think witchcraft is a religion, and I do not think it is in any way appropriate for the U. S. military to promote it.
I did not come into contact with any Muslim before I embraced Islam. I read the Qur'an first and realized no person is perfect, Islam is perfect, and if we imitate the conduct of the Holy Prophet. . . we will be successful.
Muslims are the first victims of Islam. To liberate a Muslim from his religion is the best service that one can render him!
The search of knowledge is an obligation laid on every Muslim.
Good relations with Egypt are extremely important to us. Egypt is our neighbor and the largest Arab country. The people in all Muslim countries are on our side.
Obama said, 'Now let me be clear, issues of women's equality are by no means simply an issue for Islam. ' No, he said, 'the struggle for women's equality continues in many aspects of American life. ' So on one hand, 12-year-old girls are stoned to death for the crime of being raped in Muslim countries. But on the other hand, we still don't have enough female firefighters here in America.
