I'm not an agent from any government, even if some of you may not believe it. I'm not. I'm a peacemaker.

The Islamic method of waging war is not to kill innocent civilians, but it was Christians in World War II who bombed civilians in Dresden and Hiroshima, neither of which were military targets.

Any organization or any individual that targets civilians and kills them for political agenda is a terrorist organization.

Islamic law is clearly against terrorism, against any kind of deliberate killing of civilians or similar 'collateral damage.'

Our enemy is not Islam. Islam is not the enemy of America; Americans are not the enemy of Islam. Our real enemy is extremism and radicalism.

It is economic power that determines political power, and governments become the political functionaries of economic power.

Right now, holding you, I feel like we have a shot at beating all odds and making it together.

I prefer the discipline of knowledge to the anarchy of ignorance.

Not judging people is the fastest way to peace.
