There are hundreds and hundreds of followers of Islamic State around Europe and the U. S. The Saudis are showing this. And all you have to do is look at the conversation inside of our mosques and inside of our communities.
We must work our destiny in our own way and present to the world an economic system based on true Islamic concept of equality of manhood and social justice. We will thereby be fulfilling our mission as Muslims and giving to humanity the message of peace which alone can save it and secure the welfare, happiness and prosperity of mankind.
Many people are quick to say that we are not recognized by Muslims in the East. And I start with the Honorable Elijah Mohammed. In 1959, he went throughout the Holy City of Mecca to dine and wine with Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt and all of the black, mainly the rulers of the Islamic countries.
Do not vie with others in the accumulation of wealth. Vie with them in Ibadaah.
Musically, New York is a big influence on me. Walk down the street for five minutes and you'll hear homeless punk rockers, people playing Caribbean music and reggae, sacred Islamic music and Latino music, so many different types of music.
We had one moment in history where we were disseminating what we now call the Islamic State. That's when we finally cut the deal with the insurgents.
We should have a State in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of Islamic social justice could find free play.
The first ever attack, the Islamic State carried out was in August 2003 on the Jordanian Embassy. ISIS, in its history, has had or four different names. It's had four different leaders. But it was all started by one man, the Jordanian militant Abu Musab al Zarqawi who the U. S. killed in June 2006.
There is no conflict between favouring Islamic and traditional values and being more open and international.
If you have laws and legislation that ban certain things based on the principles of the Scriptures and based on your Christian background, then let it stand there.

Knowledge for us means knowledge of the allowancedispensation (rukhsa). As for strictness, anyone can show strictness.
We need a president that shows the courage that Egypt's President al-Sisi, a Muslim, when he called out the radical Islamic terrorists who are threatening the world.

The Arab and Islamic nation has lost a great man and one of its fearless men who dedicated his life to the service of the people of this nation and their aspirations.
Do not forget that the Arab countries, starting with Algeria and Egypt, are the ones that have paid the heaviest toll because of Islamic terror.
The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history.

You rave about the Holy Place (Masjid al-Haram) and say you've visited God's garden but where is your bunch of flowers? There is some merit in the suffering you have endured but what a pity you have not discovered the Makkah thats inside
