Intolerance
Abu Abdullah, Hizb ut-Tahrir (Party Of Liberation)
- Bush says that we want to enslave people and oppress their freedom
of speech. But we want to free all people from being slaves of men and
make them slaves of Allah. [quoted in Christian Science Monitor, 10 May 2006]
abdullah
- The kaffir (kuffur) are the enemies of islam. They are less than
human unless they revert to the one true way. It is acceptable to be
rude to them regardless of where you live, for they are less than us.
[post to muslim-wife blog (living in Florida), in response to a query as
to why she would refer to her neighbours as kaffir, 08 October 2007]
AriAbrams1
- NASA's obvious lie about 'losing' the tapes more or less proves
that the landing was a fake. The 'restored' version is certainly
doctored to the nines. It's just like Nixon's eighteen-minute gap. The
only thing they hide is what they don't want you to see. [Houston, We Have A Problem: Original Moon Walk Footage Erased, The Guardian, 16 July 2009]
- Perhaps a movie will sell a few more suckers on the wackiest darned
theory every made up. Obviously the Darwinists are clutching at straws.
If their Rube Goldberg Machine theory was really right they would have
duplicated it in the laboratory a thousand times already. Or explained
all the huge flaws in it. It's not true. [Creation, A Film About Charles Darwin, The Guardian, 21 September 2009]
- It's so sweet that these scientists all believe that evolution is a
fact and not a theory. It's kind of like believing in Santa Claus: they
want so much for it to be true that it becomes a fact! They're like
sweet, innocent children, lying in their beds with images of Darwin
dancing in their heads
brilliant amoeba splitting off in perfect natural
selection
blind worms choosing spouses on the basis of their little
stubby brains coming one step closer to vision
and knowing, in rhapsody,
that from now until forever no Creator is ever going to have any moral
authority over them whatsoever
The little innocent darlings really
believe it's all proven and true
shhhh!
don't wake them up! Only later
on, when they grow up, will they learn all about scientific rigour and
the higher standards of meaning what you say and understanding it; it's
not for now! [Half Of Britons Do Not Believe In Evolution, Survey Finds, The Guardian, 01 February 2009]
Hassan Mohammed Abrone, Somalian Refugee Wishing To Enter The U.S.A.
- If I can't beat my wife, how will she know that I love her? [quoted in LA Times, 12 September 2006]
Dean Acheson
- The limitations imposed by democratic political practises make it
difficult to conduct our foreign affairs in the national interest. [Citizen Looks At Congress]
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President, Iran
- In Iran we don't have homosexuals like you do in your country. We
do not have this phenomenon. I don't know who's told you that we have
it. [Columbia University, New York, 24 September 2007]
- There is no truth on earth but monotheism and following tenets of
Islam and there is no way for salvation of mankind but rule of Islam
over mankind. [14 August 2007]
Howard Ahmanson
- My purpose is total integration of biblical law into our lives. [1985]
Omar Ahmed, Council Of American Islamic Relations
- Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to
become dominant. The Qur'an, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the
highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on
Earth. [paraphrased (and disputed), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998]
Shabbir Akhtar
- Allah is the subject of faith and loving obedience, not of rational
inquiry or purely discursive thought. Unaided human reason is inferior
in status to the gift of faith. Indeed, reason is useful only in so far
as it finds a use in the larger service of faith. [A Faith For All Seasons]
Peter Akinola, Archbishop, Nigeria
- I didn't create poverty. This church didn't create poverty. Poverty
is not an issue, human suffering is not an issue at all, they were
there before the creation of mankind.
- I cannot think of how a man in his senses would be having a sexual
relationship with another man. Even in the world of animals dogs,
cows, lions we don't hear of such things.
Alabama Supreme Court
- She manifested an entire want of instruction as to the nature and
effect of an oath, of all religious training, and utter ignorance of the
existence of a Supreme Being, "the rewarder of truth and avenger of
falsehoods." [disqualifying an 11-year old girl's testimony at her rape
trial and ensuring the rapist went free, 1882]
- Homosexual conduct is, and has been, considered abhorrent, immoral,
detestable, a crime against nature, and a violation of the laws of
nature and of nature's God upon which this nation and our laws are
predicated. [15 February 2002]
St. Alban
- To find a virtuous women is like finding the one eel in a bag with
500 venomous snakes. And if you grope in the bag and find the eel you
have but a wet and slimy eel by the tail. [4th cent BCE]
Madelaine Albright
- The United States is good. We try to do our best everywhere. [Washington Post, 23 October 1999]
- We are the greatest country in the world! [defending their policy on Iraq, Columbus, Ohio, 18 February 1998]
- I think this is a very hard choice, but the price we think the
price is worth it. [in response to reporter Lesley Stahl, speaking of US
sanctions against Iraq : "We have heard that a half million children
have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And
and you know, is the price worth it?", 60 Minutes, 12 May 1996]
- We are talking about using military force, but we are not talking
about a war. That is an important distinction. [speaking at Tennessee
State University, Nashville]
- We recognise this area as vital to US national interests and we
will behave, with others, multilaterally when we can and unilaterally
when we must. [Middle East International (London), 21 October 1994]
- The United States is not going to stop doing what we have to do. We
have responsibilities; we have national interests. We are operating in a
world that is filled with a variety of threats, but that doesn't mean
that we can crawl into an ostrich-like mode. We are eagles.
- But if we have to use force, it is because we are America; we are
the indispensable nation. We stand tall and we see further than other
countries into the future, and we see the danger here to all of us. I
know that the American men and women in uniform are always prepared to
sacrifice for freedom, democracy and the American way of life. [Today, NBC, 19 February 1998]
Sheik Abdalla Ali, Mogadishu Court
- When people accept practising Islamic Sharia Law every body will
enjoy life based on peace and prosperity.
He who does not perform
prayer will be considered as infidel and our Sharia Law orders that
person to be killed. [Shabelle Media Network, 05 July 2006]
Shujaat Ali, Cartoonist, Al-Jazeera
- There's an informal code of ethics among cartoonists in the media,
and it includes two kinds of censorship: one is self-censorship; the
other is professional censorship. Religion is one of the very important
things that we should respect and not criticize.
We should respect
people from other religions, whether they are Jews, Christians or
whatever. We should have a code of ethics among cartoonists, and we need
to ask ourselves how far it is acceptable for us to go and what kind of
limits we should set. It's fine for cartoonists to target politicians
or governments, but they should leave religion alone.
Freedom is very
important. And I am fighting for it here. But the problem is that we
must set limits. We cannot tolerate any disparagement of the Prophet
for whom we have the highest respect. In every religion, even
Christianity, there are some people who are very emotional about their
religion. Within my own community, I criticize people who are going
beyond limits. They should be criticized, of course. (Muslim) extremism
is also bad. We are not angels, but we are also human. As humans, we
must respect each other. And our religion. [Spiegel, 03 February 2006]
Abbas-Ali Alizadeh, Head of The Judiciary Administration, Tehran
- One of our greatest glories is closure of offending newspapers.
Based on our assessments, by doing this, we have done the greatest
service to the people.
When you do a job for the sake of God, defeat
is meaningless. [commenting on the closure of over 50 newspapers in the
last 20 months, 12 December 2001]
A. A. Allen
- When you can turn people on their head and shake them and no money falls out, then you know God's saying, "Move on, son."
- I can't say enough how it's time that we get beyond, and, and start
focussing on the technology we have and move forward into the future so
that our grandchildren and, can have the same lifestyle we have, and,
and, this earth's been here 6000 years and I know I'm going on and on
and I'll shut up, itâs been here 6000 years, long before anybody had
environmental laws, and somehow it hasn't been done away with, and, er,
we need to get to uranium here in Arizona so this state can get the
money from it, and the, er, revenue from it, and it can be done safely,
and you'll never even know the mine was there when they're done. [25
June 2009]
John Allman
- The Gender Recognition Act 2004 ("GRA") violates my human rights as
a heterosexual Christian male in selecting a sexual or marriage
partner, in particular by allowing the falsification of the birth
certificates of "trans persons". The GRA goes out of its way to prevent
me from ascertaining the true birth gender of a prospective sexual or
marriage partner, which is of vital importance to me as a Christian male
who is in mortal fear of having a sexual relationship with someone who
is biologically male by birth.
the whole of the GRA is predicated upon
unproven medical theories of dubious authority. [a married fundy
expressing mortal fear of a situation he'd never encounter, and
advertising his ignorance of decades' worth of medical and
psychological evidence, June 2005]
Arnaud-Amaury, Abbot Of Citeaux
- Kill them all; for God will know his own. [when asked by the
Crusaders what to do with the citizens of Beziers (a mixture of
Catholics and Cathars), 1209]
St. Ambrose
- The precepts of medicine are contrary to celestial science, watching and prayer.
Yigal Amir
- I did this to stop the peace process. We need to be cold-hearted.
According to the Halacha you can kill the enemy. My whole life, I
learned Halacha. When you kill in war, it is an act that is allowed.
[commenting on his murder of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, 06
November 1995] When asked if he acted alone, his reply was "I acted
alone on God's orders."
Father Gabriele Amorth
- What is happening is what normally happens when the devil enters
the lives of those who let him in.
The priest of the parish ought
today to go and bless all the houses that have witnessed paranormal
phenomena, because that is what they are. [describing the source of
various fires in Caronia, Sicily, January 2004]
Anonymous Tub Of Lard
- I don't know what the fuss is all about. The firemen came here and
got on with their job. Sometimes I slide to the floor in my living room,
and it's hard to get back up. I try not to make a habit of ringing for
help, but sometimes there is nothing I can do. [commenting on having
called the Fire Brigade four times in a week to shift his 260kg (>¼
tonne!) bulk across his bed and around his home in Grangemouth, The Guardian, 23 February 2008]
Anonymous 'God-fearing' Xian
- Our daughter started college a year ago, and we've noticed during
her visits home that she's not the sweet, innocent girl we sent away for
higher learning. We raised her with strong Christian beliefs, but
lately she's saying that she's joined an atheist club on campus and is
questioning everything we taught her. Now my husband refuses to let her
in the house and is threatening to turn her in to the FBI. I've tried to
cure our daughter and reconcile with her, but nothing seems to work.
I've prayed over her at night while she sleeps, enlisted friends in a
phone prayer tree and even spoken to my priest about the possibility of
an exorcism. I'm at my wits' end. How can I recover my daughter and keep
her from hell? [letter to agony aunt Margo Howard, Denver Post, 23 May 2009]
Thomas Aquinas
- That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more
abundantly they are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in
hell. [Summa Theologica]
- As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and
misbegotten, for the active force in the male seed tends to the
production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the
production of woman comes from a defect in the active force or from some
material indisposition, or even from some external influence.
Balwan Arya
- From society's point of view, this is a very good thing. We have
removed the blot. [speaking proudly of the murders of (pregnant) Sunita
Prakash and her boyfriend Jasbir Singh, for being from the same village
their relationship was deemed as 'incest', Reuters, 16 May 2008] cf Satvir Singh
John Ashcroft
- If America is to be great in the future, it will be if we
understand that our source is not civic and temporal, but our source is
godly and eternal. [commencement address upon receiving an honorary
degree at Bob Jones University, 08 May 1999]
- Civilised people Muslims, Christians and Jews all understand
that the source of freedom and human dignity is the Creator. Civilised
people of all religious faiths are called to the defence of His
creation.
We are a nation called to defend freedom a freedom that is
not the grant of any government or document, but is our endowment from
God.
God bless you and God bless America. [National Religious
Broadcasters Convention, Nashville, Tennessee, 19 February 2002]
- To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost
liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists, for they
erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition
to America's enemies and pause to America's friends. They encourage
people of good will to remain silent in the face of evil. [06 December
2001]
St. Augustine
- If those who are called philosophers, and especially the
Platonists, have said aught that is true and in harmony with the faith,
we are not only not to shrink from it, but to claim it for our own use
from those who have unlawful possession of it. [Confessions, City Of God, Christian Doctrine]
- Any woman who does not give birth to as many children as she is capable is guilty of murder.
- I should not believe in the truth of the gospels unless the authority of the Catholic Church forced me to do so.
- Nothing is to be accepted except on the authority of scripture,
since greater is that authority than all powers of the human mind.
- All diseases of Christians are to be ascribed to these demons;
chiefly do they torment freshly-baptised Christians, yea, even the
guiltless new-born infants.
- It is impossible that there should be inhabitants on the opposite
side of the Earth, since no such race is recorded by Scripture among the
descendants of Adam.
- Women should not be enlightened or educated in any way. They
should, in fact, be segregated as they are the cause of hideous and
involuntary erections in holy men.
- Neither in the confusion of paganism, nor in the defilement of
heresy, nor yet in the blindness of Judaism, is religion to be sought,
but among those alone who are called Catholic Christians. [De Vera Religions, v]
- The good Christian should beware of mathematicians and all those
who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that mathematicians
have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and confine
man in the bonds of Hell.
- Scripture speaks of no such descendants of Adam as the Antipodeans.
Men could not be allowed by the Almighty to live there, since if they
did they could not see Christ at his second coming descending through
the air.
- I was already Bishop of Hippo, when I went into Ethiopia with some
servants of Christ there to preach the Gospel. In this country we saw
many men and women without heads, who had two great eyes in their
breasts; and in countries still more southly, we saw people who had but
one eye in their foreheads. [Sermon 37]
Raphael Ndingi Mwana A'zeki, Archbishop of Nairobi
- HIV/AIDS is going so fast because of the availability of condoms.
they should not be made at all.
Anybody for that matter [should not
use them]. The laws of God affect everybody.
we are not peddling
ignorance [an article published in Kenya by its bishops claimed
incorrectly (but in accordance with equally wrong Vatican teachings)
that "latex rubber from which condoms are made has pores through which
viral-sized particles can squeeze during intercourse"]. We shall be
proved the only people who have been right in this matter in the long
run. [Panorama, 12 October 2003]
Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, Indonesian Mujahidin Council
- So if you ask me which one is more dangerous, nude women or the
Bali bombs, then my answer would be the women showing off their skin.
[21 September 2006]
Shaikh Abd-al-Aziz Ibn Abd-Allah Ibn Baaz, Mufti Of Saudi Arabia
- The earth is flat. Whoever claims it is round is an atheist deserving of punishment. [1993, quoted by Yousef M. Ibrahim, The New York Times, 12 February 1995]
- If the earth is rotating as they claim, the countries, the
mountains, the trees, the rivers, and the oceans will have no bottom and
the people will see the eastern countries move to the west and the
western countries move to the east. [Evidence That The Earth Is Standing Still, 1974]
Richard H. Baker, Baton-Rouge - R
- We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did. [09 September 2005]

Rev. Bill Banuchi, New York Christian Coalition
- When a society has degenerated to the point of celebrating an
immoral lifestyle that results in sickness and premature death it's
questionable whether that society can long survive. We put warning
labels on cigarette packs because we know that smoking takes one to two
years off the average life span, yet we 'celebrate' a lifestyle that we
know spreads every kind of sexually transmitted disease and takes at
least 20 years off the average life span according to the 2005 issue of
the revered scientific journal Psychological Reports. Something is wrong
with this picture. [Protesting about the first Gay Pride Day in New
Paltz, 11 June 2005]
Percy Barnevik, President of The ABB Industrial Group
- I would define globalisation as the freedom for my group of
companies to invest where it wants when it wants, to produce what it
wants, to buy and sell where it wants, and support the fewest
restrictions possible coming from labour laws and social conventions.
Jeni Barnett
- Science always changes so you can believe what you like. [LBC Radio, 07 January 2009]
Matt Barrett, Barclays Bank
- I don't think I know what excess profits means. [2003]
L. Frank Baum
- We had better, in order to protect our civilisation, follow it up
and wipe these untamed and untameable creatures from the face of the
earth.
- The nobility of the Redskin is extinguished, and what few are left
are a pack of whining curs who lick the hand that smites them. The
Whites, by law of conquest, by justice of civilization, are masters of
the American continent, and the best safety of the frontier settlements
will be secured by the total annihilation of the few remaining Indians.
Why not annihilation? Their glory has fled, their spirit broken, their
manhood effaced; better that they should die than live the miserable
wretches that they are.
David Bay, Christian Occult Investigator
- That way, when the real Antichrist arrives on the scene, they will
be preconditioned to accept him. [speaking of children accepting Harry Potter, 14 November 2001]
Lindy Beam, Youth Culture Analyst, Focus On The Family
- The concern is that these books [Harry Potter] are
placed in a culture that glorifies and markets witchcraft, sorcery, and
Wicca things that from a biblical perspective are harmful. [12 November
2001]
Arnold Becker, Former Vice-President of CBS
- I'm not interested in culture. I'm not interested in pro-social
values. I have only one interest. That's whether people watch the
program. That's my definition of good, that's my definition of bad.
Cardinal Bellarmino
- To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as
to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. [Galileo's trial, 1615] (cf Frank Zindler's comment regarding parthenogenesis)
Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Alois Ratzinger)
- I likewise profess that in the Mass a true, proper, and
propitiatory sacrifice is offered to God on behalf of the living and the
dead, and that the Body and the Blood, together with the soul and the
divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ is truly, really, and substantially
present in the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist, and there is a
change of the whole substance of the bread into the Body, and of the
whole substance of the wine into Blood; and this change the Catholic
Mass calls transubstantiation. I also profess that the whole and entire
Christ and a true sacrament is received under each separate species. [12
September 2006]
St. Bernard of Clairvaux
- The Christian glories in the death of a pagan, because thereby Christ himself is glorified.
Muhammad Saad al-Beshi, State Executioner, Saudi Arabia
- It doesn't matter to me: two, four, ten as long as I'm doing
God's will, it doesn't matter how many people I execute.
In this
country we have a society that understands God's law.
I am very proud
to do God's work.
Despite the fact that I hate violence against women,
when it comes to God's will, I have to carry it out. [The Guardian, 06 June 2003]
Senator Albert J. Beveridge
- Mr. President, the times call for candour. The Philippines are ours
forever, "territory belonging to the United States," as the
Constitution calls them. And just beyond the Philippines are China's
illimitable markets. We will not retreat from them either. We will not
repudiate our duty in the archipelago. We will not abandon our
opportunity in the Orient. We will not renounce our part in the mission
of our race, trustee, under God, of the civilization of the world. And
we will move forward to our work, not howling out regrets like slaves
whipped to their burdens, but with gratitude for a task worthy of our
strength, and thanksgiving to Almighty God that He has marked us as His
chosen people, henceforth to lead in the regeneration of the world. Mr.
President, this question is deeper than any question of party politics:
deeper than any question of the isolated policy of our country even;
deeper even than any question of constitutional power. It is elemental.
It is racial. God has not been preparing the English-speaking and
Teutonic peoples for a thousand years for nothing hut vain and idle
self-contemplation and self-admiration. No! He has made us the master
organizers of the world to establish system where chaos reigns. He has
given us the spirit of progress to overwhelm the forces of reaction
throughout the earth. He has made us adepts in government that we may
administer government among savage and senile peoples. Were it not for
such a force as this the world would relapse into barbarism and night.
And of all our race He has marked the American people as His chosen
nation to finally lead in the regeneration of the world. This is the
divine mission of America, and it holds for us all the profit, all the
glory, all the happiness possible to man. We are trustees of the world's
progress, guardians of its righteous peace. The judgment of the Master
is upon us: 'Ye have been faithful over a few things; I will make you
ruler over many things.' [1900]
Arthur Biele
- I am pro-life. I'm in agreement that not only is the abortionist a
mass murderer, but that the mother who consented to the abortion is a
murderer. Both are worthy of the death penalty.
Syed Bilal
- Only out of respect, because he was our teacher, did we not beat
him to death on the spot. [demonstrating commendable restraint after his
teacher Dr. Younus Shaikh had spoken about their prophet's body-hair
and hygiene (but in any case Pakistan mandates death for everyone who

Tony Blair
- The number on the database should be the maximum number you can get. [speaking of the police's DNA database, 23 October 2006]
- To me, the most remarkable thing about the Koran is how progressive it is.
The Koran
is inclusive. It extols science and knowledge and abhors superstition.
It is practical and far ahead of its time in attitudes toward marriage,
women, and governance. [Foreign Affairs, January/February 2007]
David Blunkett, Home Secretary
- If these people are dynamic and well-qualified, and I don't dispute
that they are, they should get back home and recreate their countries
that we freed from tyranny, whether it be Kosovo or now Afghanistan. We
are freeing countries of different religions and cultural backgrounds
and making it possible for them to get back home and rebuild their
countries. I have no sympathy whatsoever with young people in their 20s
who do not get back home and rebuild their country and their families. [Remarks To The Commons Home Affairs Select Committee, 18 September 2002]
John Bolton, State Department
- There is no such thing as the UN. There is an international
community that can be led by the only real power left in the world, and
that is the US, when it suits our interests and when we can get others
to go along.
Erfana Bora
- Kids are bright. We owe it to them to teach all the alternatives of
man's origins and let them work it out for themselves.
In my current
teaching post at an Islamic faith school, pupils are concurrently taught
in Islamic theology lessons that the universe and its contents
originate from an omnipotent creator - and the mechanisms for this creative feat are described in some detail in the Qur'an.
They are then also taught that much of what is described in the
Qur'anic verses has been understood and interpreted in various ways by
scholars over the ages. [Dawkins Is Wrong: Faith Schools Don't Blinker Children, The Guardian, 19 August 2010]
Lt. Gen. William Boykin
-
the enemy is a guy named Satan.
- Why is this man in the White House? The majority of Americans did
not vote for him. Why is he there? And I tell you this morning that he's
in the White House because God put him there for a time such as this.
[speaking of G. W. Bush, New York Times, 17 October 2003]
- He went on CNN and he laughed at us, and he said, 'They'll never
get me because Allah will protect me. Allah will protect me.' Well, you
know what, I knew that my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God
was a real God and his was an idol. [speaking of the Somalian warlord
Osman Ato, January 2003]
- We in the army of God, in the house of God, kingdom of God have been raised for such a time as this.
T. J. Briscoe
- Atheists are to be pitied. God gave mankind free will and, sadly,
atheists have taken that and turned it against their creator.
Atheists
are in for a great shock when they reach the hereafter and are held
accountable for turning free will against the very God who created them.
[letter to St. Petersburg Times, Florida, in response to one of their columnists 'coming out' as an atheist, 13 August 2004]
Pastor Jack Brock, Christ Community Church, Alamogordo, New Mexico
- Behind that innocent face is the power of satanic darkness. Harry Potter
is the devil and he is destroying people. [burning copies of the Potter
books along with work by Stephen King, ouija boards, and records by
AC/DC, 31 December 2001]
William Jennings Bryan
- No, but they would not run back beyond the creation, according to the bible. [in response to Clarence Darrow's question of "Don't you know that the ancient civilisations of China are six or seven thousand years old, at the very least?"]
- If God had wanted a sponge to think, a sponge could think.
- If the Bible had said that Jonah swallowed the whale, I would believe it.
- If we have to give up either religion or education, we should give up education.
- All the ills from which America suffers can be traced back to the
teaching of evolution. It would be better to destroy every other book
ever written, and save just the first three verses of Genesis.
Pat Buchanan
- With 80,000 dead of AIDS, our promiscuous homosexuals appear literally hell-bent on Satanism and suicide. [17 October 1990]
- Rail as they will about 'discrimination,' women are simply not
endowed by nature with the same measures of single-minded ambition and
the will to succeed in the fiercely competitive world of Western
capitalism. [22 November 1983]
- Gay rights activists seek to substitute, for laws rooted in
Judeo-Christian morality, laws rooted in the secular humanist belief
that all consensual sexual acts are morally equal. That belief is
anti-biblical and amoral; to codify it into law is to codify a lie. [Wall Street Journal, 21 January 1993]
Barbara Bush
- I asked the President, "What can we do to show support for
America?" He said, "Mom, if you really want to help, buy, buy, buy."
[2001]
- Almost everyone I've talked to says we're going to move to Houston.
What I'm hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in
Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the
people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so
this this [chuckles] is working very well for them. [sympathy for
Katrina survivors, 05 September 2005]
- I watch none [TV]. He sits and listens and I read books, because I
know perfectly well that, don't take offence, that 90 percent of what I
hear on television is supposition, when we're talking about the news.
And he's not, not as understanding of my pettiness about that. But why
should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it's

4,000 hours. [Bridgeport (Connecticut), 09 April 2002]
- America has a message for the nations of the world: If you harbour
terrorists, you are terrorists. If you train or arm a terrorist, you are
a terrorist. If you feed a terrorist or fund a terrorist, you're a
terrorist, and you will be held accountable by the United States and our
friends. [22 November 2001]
- Our country puts $1 billion a year up to help feed the hungry. And
we're by far the most generous nation in the world when it comes to
that, and I'm proud to report that. This isn't a contest of who's the
most generous. I'm just telling you as an aside. We're generous. We
shouldn't be bragging about it. But we are. We're very generous.
[Washington, 16 July 2003]
- I am driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George go
and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God
would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did. And
now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians
their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the
Middle East'. And, by God, I'm gonna do it. [June 2003]

what her I mean it shouldn'a the, the, the role of the National
Security Advisor is to not only provide good advice to the President,
which she does on a regular basis I value her judgment and her
intelligence uhh but, uhh her job is also to deal interagency, and
to help unstick things that may get stuck is the best way to put it.
She's an unsticker. And is she listening? Okay, well, she's doing a
fine job. [Speaking of Condoleezza Rice, 28 October 2003]
- Anyway, I was sitting there, and my Chief of Staff well, first of
all, when we walked into the classroom, I had seen this plane fly into
the first building. There was a TV set on. And you know, I thought it
was pilot error and I was amazed that anybody could make such a terrible
mistake. And something was wrong with the plane, or anyway, I'm
sitting there, listening to the briefing, and Andy Card came and said,
"America is under attack." And in the meantime, this teacher was going
on about the curriculum, and I was thinking about what it meant for
America to be under attack. It was an amazing thought. But I made up my
mind that if America was under attack, we'd get them.
Anyway, it was
an interesting day. [Describing his 'actions' (staring like a rabbit

-
America's greatest opportunity is to create a balance of world power that favours human freedom . We will use our position of unparalleled strength and influence to build an atmosphere of international order and openness in which progress and liberty can flourish in many nations .
We defend this peace by opposing and preventing violence by terrorists and outlaw regimes ; we preserve it by building good relations among the world's great powers ; and we extend it by encouraging free and open societies on every continent .
With our allies, we must also confront the growing threat of regimes
that support terror, seek chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, and
build ballistic missiles .
On this issue, the consequences of inaction could be catastrophic. At
the same time, we have the best opportunity in generations to build a
world where great powers cooperate in peace instead of continually
prepare for war .
The 20th century was dominated by a series of destructive national
rivalries that left graveyards across the earth. Competition between
great nations is inevitable, but armed conflict is not .
More than ever, we know that weak states, like Afghanistan, can pose a great danger to the peace of the world .
Free trade and free markets have proved their ability to lift whole
societies out of poverty so the US is working with the entire global
trading community to build a world that trades in freedom and therefore grows in prosperity .

- What if this eclipse really does spell the beginning of the end of
the world?
What if, as we all stare hopefully upwards at the night

gracefully down it to walk among us all in human form once more? [August

- As I predicted on BBC2 a few weeks ago, scientists have accepted, as a planet, the new discovery 2003 UB313. That's Xena to the likes of you and me. They have also reclassified Ceres, the asteroid, as a planet and declared that Pluto's Moon, Charon, is a planet too.
By tradition, we astrologers defer to the decisions of astronomers. If
they say a heavenly body is important, we treat it with respect, even if
previously we have all but ignored it. It's going to take us a while to
learn to read these new dials on our dashboard but, eventually, you'll
start to see us make even more accurate predictions. [Daily Mail, 26 August 2006]

Anjem Choudary / Anjum Chaudri
- We should not be surprised at people doing something like 7/7. How
else do you expect Muslims to express themselves? We are a community
under siege. It's going to blow up one day in everyone's faces.
[protesting outside the Old Bailey trial of Mizanur Rahman, 01 November 2006]
- The very concept of Christmas contradicts and conflicts with the
foundation of Islam. Every Muslim has a responsibility to protect his
family from the misguidance of Christmas, because its observance will
lead to hellfire. Protect your Paradise from being taken away protect
yourself and your family from Christmas. [The Telegraph, 10 December 2008]
- Either way, because Jesus was indeed a Muslim (submitter to the
commands of God) and like the Muslims today, called mankind to obey the
law of God as opposed to the law of man, and because he was labelled a
radical fundamentalist and challenged, exposed and spoke out against the
man-made ideas of freedom, democracy and secularism, the government of
that time, because they hated his message, introduced their own
anti-terror laws and interned him without trial in an attempt to
suppress the true word of God. [MSN, 24 December 2008]
- No, at the end of the day innocent people when we say innocent
people we mean Muslims. As far as non-Muslims are concerned, they have
not accepted Islam, and as far as we are concerned, that is a crime
against God. [Stephen Sackur, interviewer: I want to be clear about what
you are saying this is very important you are saying that only
Muslims can count as innocent people?] As far as Muslims are concerned,
you are innocent if you are a Muslim then you are innocent in the eyes
of God. If you are a non-Muslim, then you are guilty of not believing
in God. [HARDtalk, 10 August 2005]

- At the end of the Mesozoic, you begin to see evidence of a stunning
moral decline. Bones of wives and children all alone, with the

Researchers have even excavated entire orgies hundreds of animals with

Monsignor Paul Cordes
- Jesus heals illness and banishes sin. He therefore tells us that
there is a link between sin and sickness.
I cannot say that someone is
sick because he has sinned, but in the history of salvation, sickness
is the consequence of sin. [quoted in The Guardian, 07 February 2002]
- As the publisher of a 13 year old periodical which targets Black
gays and lesbians, I have had the opportunity to publicly address
thousands, influencing closeted people to "come out" and stand up for
them selves, which is particularly difficult in the African-American
community. But now, I must come out of the closet again. I have recently
experienced the power of change that came over me once I completely
surrendered to the teachings of Jesus Christ. As a believer of the word
of God, I fully accept and have always known that same-sex relationships
are not what God intended for us. [Basically saying "fuck you" to the

- We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. [National Review, 13 September 2001]
- The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's
dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God
said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet it's
yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the
anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and
wet bars that's the Biblical view. [Jewish World Review13 October 2000]
William Lane Craig
- Should a conflict arise between the witness of the Holy Spirit to
the fundamental truth of the Christian faith and beliefs based on
argument and evidence, then it is the former which must take precedence
over the latter, not vice versa. [Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth And Apologetics, 1994]
- The Bible says all men are without excuse. Even those who are given
no good reason to believe and many persuasive reasons to disbelieve
have no excuse, because the ultimate reason they do not believe is that
they have deliberately rejected God's Holy Spirit. [Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth And Apologetics, 1994]
- Therefore, when a person refuses to come to Christ it is never just
because of lack of evidence or because of intellectual difficulties: at
root, he refuses to come because he willingly ignores and rejects the
drawing of God's Spirit on his heart. No one in the final analysis
really fails to become a Christian because of lack of arguments; he
fails to become a Christian because he loves darkness rather than light
and wants nothing to do with God. [Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth And Apologetics, 1994]
- What, then, should be our approach in apologetics? It should be
something like this: "My friend, I know Christianity is true because
God's Spirit lives in me and assures me that it is true. And you can
know it is true, too, because God is knocking at the door of your heart,
telling you the same thing. If you are sincerely seeking God, then God
will give you assurance that the gospel is true. Now, to try to show you
it's true, I'll share with you some arguments and evidence that I
really find convincing. But should my arguments seem weak and
unconvincing to you, that's my fault, not God's. It only shows that I'm a
poor apologist, not that the gospel is untrue. Whatever you think of my
arguments, God still loves you and holds you accountable. I'll do my
best to present good arguments to you. But ultimately you have to deal,
not with arguments, but with God himself." [Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth And Apologetics, 1994]
Creation Research UK website
- What we do know is that believers should not be surprised when
things like this [terrorist attacks on World Trade Centre, 11/09/2001]
happen, for Jesus warned very plainly that the world will become more
violent before He returns. The root cause of this increasing violence is
sin sin which is rooted in the refusal to glorify The Lord as the God
who created the universe (Rom. 1:16ff.). In recent Western culture this
refusal has been built around evolution and the denial of a god of any
sort. Throughout history it has been far more common to exchange "the
glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man
and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things." The consequence
is that both secular humanism and false religions are left without any
concept of The Lord who is the God in charge of history past, present
and future. [September 2001]

Ken Cumming
- Both events have much in common. The public was unaware of the
deliberate preparation that was schemed over the past few years to lead
to these events. And while the public now understands from President
Bush that "We're at War" with religious fanatics around the world, they
don't have a clue that America is being attacked from within through its
public schools by a militant religious movement called Darwinists.
"Come on!" you might exclaim. "You're blowing a whistle on American
scientists, the very cream of human genius. What evidence do you have
for such an outrageous accusation?" To which I say, let this blatant
video series speak for it. And let its support documents tell you of
mind control beyond anything yet seen in public education. "Evolution"
is PBS's assault that's coming to your children's classroom not soon
but now. [linking a TV series about evolution (a fact and not a

bitter and hateful against God and his word, because they reject what

- It is true that the feet should not face the direction of the
ka'bah whilst sleeping. In fact, it is not permissible to face the feet
towards the ka'bah whether a person is sleeping or awake. (Shaami vol.1
pg.655; HM Saeed) [responding to the question ""Is it true that when
sleeping your feet should not facing towards the directionof the kaba?" ]
- The slave girls refer to those non-Muslim woman who are captured in

have intercourcse with. Can you explain who these slave-girls are and
what qualities do they have? In this age and times who can be classified
as slave-girl? Since the possibility of acquiring a slave-girl like the
earlier Muslims used to have them and also having multiple wives is
next to impossible in these times, is there a derivative of a slave-girl
that one could have? "]
- It is not permissible, since it resembles the non-Muslims. The
Ulama have prohibited it. Furthermore, Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam] has also prohibited us to inculcate the practice of
non-Muslims. (Ahsanul Fataawa) [responding to the question "What is the
basis of wishing happy birthdays, as people get offended when I don't

- Music is expressly prohibited in many Ahaadith. Among the dominant
purposes of our beloved Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was to
destroy musical instruments. (Mishkat vol.2). Ref. http://www.jamiat.org.za/v41ifta.html. [responding to the question, "Is ALL music haraam?"]
- It is advisable to sleep on one's right side facing the Qibla.
Before sleeping, recite the four Quls, blow on your palms and pass them
around your body. If you experience nightmares or bad dreams and wake
up, spit lightly in that direction, recite Laa hawla wala quwwata illaa
billaah and change your direction of sleep. [responding to the question

- If a female was raped due to her not maintaining the laws of
Hijaab, she is partly to be blamed as the rapist will be considered as
being seduced by her revealing form and shape. She should make Tawbah
(sincerely repent) by also adhering to the laws of Hijaab. [responding

Virgin women should do after being raped. Please could you tell me if
the Virgin female should perform any special prayers, fast etc.
JazakAllah for your advise. 2)Has she lost her Vaginity as she was
raped? 3)has she also lost her blessings?"]
- In the Sahih of Muslim, Hadhrat Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri (Radhiallaahu
Anhu) narrates that Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Let no
women travel for more than three days (being the equivalent of 48 miles /
88 kms.) unless her husband or her Mahram is with her.' In view of the
abovementioned Hadith, it is not permissible for women to travel alone.
[responding to the question "Is it ok for my wife to travel to another
state to visit a friend without me? She will be staying with the
friend's family (mother, father, sister etc). I don't know the family
very well because they lived overseas."]
- Evil dreams (including dreams about sex) are Shaytaani
dreams. Dreams are not within our Ikhtiyaar (choice). Therefore, it is
not within us to avoid bad dreams. However, if one sees bad dreams,
he/she should spit lightly and recite 'Laa Hawla Walaa Quwwata illaa
billaah'. Thereafter, change one's direction of sleep. Insha Allah, the
dream will not have any effect on the person. [responding to the
question "I would like to know is it good or bad when a single muslim
person has dreams about intercourse."]
- Women can only wear gold and silver rings. (Fataawa Rahimiyah vol.9
pg.158). A man can wear a ring which is silver plaited. A man is
allowed to wear a silver ring with the provision that its weight does
not exceed 1 Mithqaal (4.374 grams) of silver. By virtue of of the
silver plaiting, permission is granted to wear such a ring. However, one
should still observe the weight restriction of 4.374 grams. [responding
to the question "Salam, is it true that women can ONLY wear gold rings,
and not platinum etc. jazakallah 2) is it true that men can wear a
platinum ring that is silver plate? if so, then does this ring hve to be
4.5 grams?"]
- There are differences of opinion among the Ulama regarding the
images on a digital camera. According to some Ulama, that is also
Tasweer (picture making) which is prohibited. In such a situation, it is
advisable to adopt Taqwa and abstain from posting your daughter's
picture on the web camera. [responding to the question "I live in
America and my whole family is in Pakistan, my daughter is 4 months old
we have not taken her picture to send them as it is prohibited in islam.
Is the use of Web camera permissible, if they do not take the print out
of the picture, as we have heard that if it is live and remains on
internet only then it is permissible"]
- It is not permissible for you to display images of human beings and
insert music and sound loops on websites. This is assisting in sin.
Allah Ta'ala states, 'And do not assist in sin.' (Maaidah) [responding
to the question "I work as a web designer. This profession involves the
displaying of human images (male, female) and insertion of music and
sound loops in websites..earn from this source is haraam or halal? I
work as a web designer. This profession involves the displaying of human
images (male, female) and insertion of music and sound loops in
websites. Now as a profession, I want to know if the money i earn from
this source is haraam or halal? I've spoken to few people and they told
me, the least rank of thought is to make sure that I'm not involved in
'making' those images and music. I only take sources given by my clients
and in some cases take existing sources available on the internet and
display them. So, please let me know of this issue. Jazakalah Khair."]
- Allah is our creator and ultimate Master. We, as his creations and
slaves are obliged to express our servitude to Him Alone. If one does
not submit his slavery to Allah, which of course is far more heinous and
unjust to Allah in comparison to the 'injustices' of slavery and sexual
relationship, etc. by a human master. Since the human being did not
willingly submit to the ultimate Master, Allah, He condemns them to the
unwilling slavery of his sincere slaves. And by understanding the powers
of a man master, they may understand the Powers of the True Master,
Allah. In fact, the concept of slavery should be regarded as a concept
of mercy, as the heinous crime of rejecting Allah as our Master demands
immediate terminating of life. Allah, our kind Master, has granted an
opportunity to his very negators to enjoy a second chance of life and
redirect it to the right avenue by submitting to Him as the ultimate
Master. [responding to the question "Please explain the concept of
slavery in Islaam. Is it alowed in this day and age? If there was an
Islamic government then would slavery be allowed. Please explain te
issue in detail as we are not knowledge in the islamic rulings."]
Donald Douglas
- But I notice at her [Elizabeth Edwards]
farewell statement an odd aspect to her "three saving graces": She
doesn't list faith in God as one of them:
Clearly Elizabeth Edwards
wants to put her faith in something, be it hope or strength or anything.
But not God. I wonder if it's just bitterness, that's she's been
forsaken by more than just her estranged husband that's she's been
forsaken by Him.
Being anti-religion is cool, so Edwards'
non-theological theology gets props from the neo-communists. Still, at
her death bed and giving what most folks are calling a final goodbye,
Elizabeth Edwards couldn't find it somewhere down deep to ask for His
blessings as she prepares for the hereafter? I guess that nihilism I've
been discussing reaches up higher into the hard-left precincts than I
thought. [American Power, 06 December 2010]

married some Casper Milquetoast who asked permission to go to the

need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it
is and to lead them home. And they blew it and they're mad at all men.
Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men that's their
problem.
- The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this
But, throwing God
out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God
out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got
to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when
we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really
believe that the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the
gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an
alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way all of
them who have tried to secularise America I point the finger in their
face and say, 'You helped this happen.'
In other words, when the
nation is on its knees, the only normal and natural and spiritual thing
to do is what we ought to be doing all the time calling upon God.

- You say what's going to happen on this earth when the Rapture

perhaps; you're a Christian; there'll be several people in the
automobile with you, maybe someone who is not a Christian. When the
trumpet sounds, you and the other born-again Christians in that
automobile will be instantly caught away, you'll disappear, leaving
behind only your clothing and physical things that cannot inherit
eternal life. That unsaved person or persons in the automobile will
suddenly be startled to find that the car is moving along without a
driver, and suddenly somewhere crashes. Those saved people in the car
have disappeared. Other cars on the highway driven by believers will
suddenly be out of control. Stark pandemonium will occur on that highway
and on every highway in the world where Christians are caught away from
the world.
Musleh Faradhi, Islamic Forum Of Europe
- The blanket claim that women's witness is worth half that of men
totally misses the complexities of Islamic law. In some limited areas of
Islamic law, two female witnesses are required where one male witness
will suffice. However, there are other areas where one female witness is
sufficient. This issue would not affect most of the issues and cases
dealt with by the sharia courts. [Sharia Bill Is Based On A False Premise, The Guardian, 22 June 2011]

with some story that -6 is higher not lower than -8 but I'm not
having it. I think Camelot are giving people the wrong impression the
card doesn't say to look for a colder or warmer temperature, it says to
look for a higher or lower number. Six is a lower number than 8. Imagine
how many people have been misled. [criticising The Cool Cash card

Dr. Salih bin Fawzan
- Uninformed interference with Sharia rulings by the press and
journalists is on the increase, posing dire consequences to society,
including their interference with the question of marriage to small
girls who have not reached maturity, and their demand that a minimum age
be set for girls to marry.
The ulema have agreed that it is
permissible for fathers to marry off their small daughters, even if they
are in the cradle. But it is not permissible for their husbands to have
sex with them unless they are capable of being placed beneath and
bearing the weight of the men. And their capability in this regard
varies based on their nature and capacity. Aisha was 6 when she married
the prophet, but he had sex with her when she was 9.
It behooves those
who call for setting a minimum age for marriage to fear Allah and not
contradict his Sharia, or try to legislate things Allah did not permit.
For laws are Allah's province; and legislation is his excusive right, to
be shared by none other. And among these are the rules governing
marriage. [Fatwa, July 2011]

Father John Furniss
- The little child is in this red hot oven. Hear how it screams to
come out. See how it turns and twists itself about in the fire. It beats
its head against the roof of the oven. It stamps its little feet on the
floor of the oven. You can see on the face of this little child what
you see on the faces of all in hell despair, desperate and horrible!
The same law which is for others is also for children. If children,
knowingly and willingly, break God's commandments, they must also be
punished like others. This child committed very bad mortal sins, knowing
well the harm of what it was doing, and knowing that hell would be the
punishment. God was very good to this child. Very likely God saw that
this child would get worse and worse, and would never repent, and so it
would have to be punished much more in hell. So God, in His mercy,
called it out of the world in its early childhood. [The Sight Of Hell]
Norman Geisler & Thomas Howe

The Bible is the unerring Word of God. Inspiration includes not only all

touches. This is true whether the Bible is touching upon history,
science, or mathematics. Whatever the Bible declares, is true whether
it is a major point or a minor point. [When Critics Ask]

Jennifer Giroux, Director, Women Influencing The Nation
- I believe that, when hetalks
about New Orleans and a cloud of darkness hanging over an immoral city,
he could be referring to any city in the United States. I believe that
God will not be mocked. We talked about this just eight-and-a-half
months ago with the tsunami. It's a very delicate theological issue, as
we talked about then. You know, all of us have a sinful nature. And many
innocent people suffer, along with those that perhaps were engaged in
sinful activity. But let's look at the state at which our country is in,
abortion, contraception, homosexuality, cloning, I mean, it all really
comes together in one big picture. Why do you think those like myself
and those in my organization that voted for President Bush are outraged
that he is saying he doesn't have a litmus test? Abortion is an
abomination, an offence and mocks God.
I believe that the innocent,
historically and biblically and I believe Bill Donahue would agree
with this the good have always suffered with the bad. That is not for
us to understand. I believe God has historically allowed disasters and
punishments to happen as a form of chastisement. We can go back as far
as when God liberated the Jews and allowed Passover to happen and
innocent first-born Egyptian babies to die to allow the Jews out of
exile. [Scarborough Country, 05 October 2005]

- Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob
on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of
it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common
people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that
matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all it is the leaders
of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple
matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist
dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship
Voice or
no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the
leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and

unfolds we are bracing to see wind and water pounding homes, whole
communities, into the ground. Is this some sort of bizarre coincidence?
Not for those who believe in the God of the Bible and the immutability
of His Word. What America is about to experience is the lifting of God's
hand of protection; the implementation of His judgment on the nation
most responsible for endangering the land and people of Israel.
Can't
you see the link, America? Won't you see the link? [Jerusalem Newswire, 29 August 2005]
Franklin Graham
- This is one wicked city, OK? It's known for Mardi Gras, for Satan
worship. It's known for sex perversion. It's known for every type of
drugs and alcohol and the orgies and all of these things that go on down
there in New Orleans. [sympathy for those in New Orleans, 03 October
2005]
Katharine Graham, Publisher, Washington Post
- We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the
general public does not need to know, and shouldn't. I believe democracy
flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its
secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows.

the less than 1% of the population who are unfortunately homosexual. [Homosexuality And The Police, December 2003]
- We believe the Holy Bible to be the inspired, infallible, written
Word of God to whose precepts given for the good of nations and
individuals, all man's laws must submit. We believe all government to be
under the authority of God and that its purpose is the maintenance of
freedom and justice solely in accordance with Biblical principles.
[Mission Statement]
-
this mentally disturbed group.
Hospitals are full of poor,
deluded people some of whom think they are Queen Victoria, or Elvis
Presley, or even Jesus Christ. Gender reassignment surgery is akin to
treating a man who sincerely and unshakeably believes he is Long John
Silver by cutting off his leg and prescribing him a parrot. It merely
adds to the confusion, in every sense. [Homosexuality And The Police, December 2003]
- Homosexual police are involved in some of the most disgusting
perversions imaginable;
corrupted by what they do;
Their whole life
is lived in denial; how can they be expected to tell the truth in Court?
Their sexual behaviour is deviant and indecent;
Many homosexual men
will have been interfered with at a young age, and be sexually
attracted to boys of around that age as a result;
officers who commit
acts which are an abomination in the eyes of Almighty God? [Homosexuality And The Police, December 2003]

Radheshyam Gupta, Spokesman, The Uttar Pradesh Cow Protection Commission
- Even if the enemy [Pakistan] carries out its threat to bomb us with
nukes, we don't have to panic, because we have sacred cows to help us.
You can fully protect yourself from nuclear fallout by covering the roof
of your house with cow dung. And applying sacred cow dung paste to your
body from head to toe will serve as an extra shield.
we also promote
sacred cow products like urine and dung, which have powerful medicinal
properties. Ordinary people cannot afford expensive protective clothing
against radiation, so they need to be informed that sacred cow dung will
protect them from against nuclear fallout, and also from radiation
burns. [Press Conference, Lucknow, 24 June 2002]
Frank Hague, Mayor, Jersey City
- As long as I am mayor of this city the great industries are secure.
We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press.
Every time I hear these words I say to myself, "That man is a Red, that
man is a Communist. You never hear a real American talk like that." [02

Ken Ham, Answers In Genesis
- Nothing will be found out there in observational science that contradicts what the Bible is teaching. Doh!
Mohamad Hama
- I swear to god it took more than two hours [to rape her]. Her soul
would not leave her body, it took over half an hour [to kill her, and
five minutes to be garrotted]. I swear to god, my foot was on her back. I
was kicking or stamping on her neck to get her soul out. She was stark
naked, only wearing pants and underwear. [speaking of his murder of
Banaz Mahmood, secretly taped during prison awaiting trial, 2007]
Abu Hamza (Mustafa Kamel Mustafa)
- The person who hinders Allah's rule, this man must be eliminated.
- It is not called suicide this is called shahada, martyring,
because if the only way to hurt the enemies of Islam except by taking
your life for that, then it is allowed.
- Make sure that the person who gave him the licence for that wine
shop doesn't exist any more on the Earth. Finish him up. Give him Dawa.
If he doesn't respect Dawa, kill him.
Sheik Gad Al Haq Ali Gad Al Haq
-

Ijaz-ul-Haq, Religious Affairs Minister, Iran
- If somebody has to attack by strapping bombs to his body to protect
the honour of the Prophet then it is justified. [commenting on Salman Rushdie's knighthood, The Times, 19 June 2007]
Mohammed Rahim Haqqani
- We want to send the message that only Islam has the capability of
bringing peace and stability in the world. The West has failed.
The
Taliban are the practitioners of the pure Deoband Islamic thought. They
have implemented laws in the real spirit of Islam. [09 April 2001]
Harper's
- Nothing could be more anti-Biblical than letting women vote. [Editorial, November 1853]
John Harrison
- As a long-term fan of your excellent mag, I have never found
anything to complain about. That all changed after I read Anthony
O'Neill's 'World Of Spellcraft' in your October issue (Harry Potter
feature). The Clavis Solomonis
and the Book Of Abramelin are dangerous, and although the article was
tongue-in-cheek, any kind of promotion of these books really should come
with a health warning. These grimoires are not a harmless bit of fun
and can lead to the destruction of people's lives. Let's just hope for
Mr. O'Neill's sake we don't have a surge of demonic-influenced teenagers
after this light-hearted look at a very serious matter indeed. [Empire, January 2011]
Medhi Hasan
- The kaffar, the disbelievers, the atheists who remain deaf and
stubborn to the teachings of Islam, the rational message of the Quran;
they are described in the Quran as, quote, "a people of no
intelligence", Allah describes them as; not of no morality, not as
people of no belief people of "no intelligence" because they're
incapable of the intellectual effort it requires to shake off those
blind prejudices, to shake off those easy assumptions about this world,
about the existence of God. In this respect, the Quran describes the
atheists as "cattle", as cattle of those who grow the crops and do not
stop and wonder about this world.
Hojatolislam Gholam Reza Hassani
- Women who do not respect the hijab and their husbands deserve to
die. I do not understand how these women who do not respect the hijab,
28 years after the birth of the Islamic Republic, are still alive. These
women and their husbands and their fathers must die. [19 December 2007]

should they care about it? [commenting on proprietary DRM code that
interferes with Windows and is very hard to remove even by those people
who know what they're doing, NPR Radio, 04 November 2005]
Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, Mufti Of Australia
- But in the event of adultery, the responsibility falls 90 per cent
of the time with women. Why? Because the woman possesses the weapon of
seduction. [Ramadan sermon, September 2006]
- September 11 is God's work against oppressors. Some of the things
that happen in the world cannot be explained; a civilian airplane whose
secrets cannot be explained, if we ask its pilot who reached his
objective without error: 'Who led your steps?' Or if we ask the giant
that fell: 'Who humiliated you?' Or if we ask the president: 'Who made
you cry?' God is the answer. [2004]
- Why, Rafihi? He says, because if she hadn't
left the meat uncovered, the cat wouldn't have snatched it. If you take a
kilo of meat, and you don't put it in the fridge, or in the pot, or in
the kitchen, but you put in on a plate and placed it outside in the
yard. Then you have a fight with the neighbour because his cats ate the
meat. Then (inaudible). Right or not? If one puts uncovered meat out in
the street, or on the footpath, or in the garden, or in the park, or in
the backyard without a cover, then the cats come and eat it, is it the
fault of the cat or the uncovered meat? The uncovered meat is the
problem! If it was covered the cat wouldn't have. It would have circled
around it and circled around it, then given up and gone. If she was in
her room, in her house, wearing her hijab, being chaste, the disasters
wouldn't have happened. The woman possesses the weapon of seduction and
temptation. That's why Satan says about the woman, "You are half a
soldier. You are my messenger to achieve my needs. You are the last
weapon I would use to smash the head of the finest of men. There are a
few men that I use a lot of things with, but they never heed me. But
you? Oh, you are my best weapon." [Ramadan sermon, September 2006]
Paul Hill
- I feel very honoured that they are most likely going to kill me for
what I did. I'm certainly, to be quite honest, I'm expecting a great
reward in heaven for my obedience. [killer in 1994 of Dr. John Britton,

Benny Hinn
- When you don't give money, it shows that you have the devil's nature. [Praise-a-thon (TBN), 04 April 1991]
Adolf Hitler
- I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so. [speaking
privately, quoted in the diary of SS Adjutant Gerhard Engel, October
1941]
- I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the
Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord's
work. [Reichstag speech, 1936]
- The anti-Semitism of the new movement [Christian Social movement] was based on religious ideas instead of racial knowledge. [Mein Kampf]
- Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will
of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am
fighting for the work of the Lord. [Mein Kampf]
- Thus inwardly armed with confidence in God and the unshakable
stupidity of the voting citizenry, the politicians can begin the fight
for the 'remaking' of the Reich as they call it. [Mein Kampf]
- Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no
religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a
religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character
training and religion must be derived from faith
we need believing
people. [from a speech made during negotiations leading to the
Nazi-Vatican Concordant, 26 April 1933]
- My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Saviour as a
fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only
by a few followers, recognised these Jews for what they were and
summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest
not as a sufferer but as a fighter. [My New Order]
- When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their
queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no
Christian, but a very devil, if I felt no pity for them, if I did not,
as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today
this poor people are plundered and exploited. [My New Order]
- The great masses of the people in the very bottom of their hearts
tend to be corrupted rather than consciously and purposely evil
therefore, in view of the primitive simplicity of their minds, they more
easily fall a victim to a big lie than to a little lie, since they
themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were
too big. [Mein Kampf]
- The folkish-minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in
his own denomination, of making people stop just talking superficially
of God's will, and actually fulfil God's will, and not let God's word be
desecrated. For God's will gave men their form, their essence and their
abilities. Anyone who destroys His work is declaring war on the Lord's
creation, the divine will. [Mein Kampf]
- The great masses of people do not consist of philosophers;
precisely for the masses, faith is often the sole foundation of a moral
attitude. The various substitutes have not proved so successful from the
standpoint of results that they could be regarded as a useful
replacement for previous religious creeds. But if religious doctrine and
faith are really to embrace the broad masses, the unconditional
authority of the content of this faith is the foundation of all
efficacy. [Mein Kampf]
Hizb ut-Tahrir, Draft Constitution
- Those who are guilty of apostasy (murtadd) from Islam are to be
executed according to the rule of apostasy, provided they have by
themselves renounced Islam.
[Article 7c]
- The only evidences to be considered for the divine rules (aHkaam
shar'iyyah) are: the Qur'an, the Sunnah, the consensus of the Companions
(ijmaa' us-SaHaabah) and analogy (qiyaas). Legislation cannot be taken
from any source other than these evidences. [Article 12]
-
Any party not established on the basis of Islam is prohibited. [Article 21]
- Sovereignty belongs to the divine law (shara') and not to the people.
[Article 22.1]
- The primary role of a woman is that of a mother and wife. She is an honour ('ird) that must be protected. [Article 108]
- Segregation of the sexes is fundamental, they should not meet
together except for a need that the shar' allows or for a purpose the
shar' allows men and women to meet for, such as trading or pilgrimage
(Hajj). [Article 109]
- Women live within a public and private life. Within their public
life, they are allowed to live with other women, maHram males [males
forbidden to them in marriage] and foreign men (whom they can marry) on
condition that nothing of the women's body is revealed, apart from her
face and hands, and that the clothing is not revealing nor her charms
displayed. Within the private life she is not allowed to live except
with women or her maHram males and she is not allowed to live together
with foreign men. In both cases she has to restrict herself with the
rules of shara'. [Article 113]
- Women are forbidden to be in private (khulwah) with any men they
can marry, they are also forbidden to display their charms or to reveal
their body in front of foreign men. [Article 114]
- Marital lives is one of tranquillity and companionship. The
responsibility of the husband on behalf of his wife (qiwaamah) is one of
taking care, and not ruling. She is obliged to obey her husband and he
is obliged to meet the costs of her livelihood according to a fair
standard of living (ma'roof).
- Jizyah (head-tax) is collected from the non-Muslims (dhimmis). It
is to be taken from the mature men if they are financially capable of
paying it. It is not taken from women or children. [Article 140]
- The purpose of education is to form the Islamic personality in
thought and behaviour. Therefore, all subjects in the curriculum must be
chosen on this basis. [Article 166]
- The goal of education is to produce the Islamic personality and to
provide people with the knowledge connected with life's affairs.
Teaching methods are established to achieve this goal; any method that
leads to other than this goal is prevented. [Article 167]
- Political manoeuvres are necessary in foreign policy, and the
effectiveness of these manoeuvres is dependent on concealing (your) aims
and disclosing (your) acts. [Article179]
Jim Hoagland
- But Americans whether policymakers, moviemakers, generals or
working stiffs cannot ignore the role that religious backlash now
plays in promoting social disintegration and ethnic conflicts abroad
that require U.S. intervention to resolve. [Washington Post, 23 December 2001]
Glen Hoddle
- You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and a
half-decent brain. Some people have not been born like that for a
reason. The karma is working from another lifetime. I have nothing to
hide about that. It is not only people with disabilities. What you sow,
you have to reap. [The Times, 30 January 1999]
- I have been here before as a spirit; this is just my physical body.
It is just an overcoat, and at death you will take that overcoat off
and the spirit will go on in the spirit realm. I think we make mistakes
when we are down here and our spirit has to come back and learn. At the
moment, there is an imbalance. Why are some people born into the world
with terrible physical deformities while other families may be
physically perfect? [BBC, May 1988]
Harold Holt, Prime Minister, Australia
- With 500,000 to a million communist sympathisers knocked off, I
think it's safe to assume a reorientation has taken place. [Describing
the Indonesian massacres, New York Times, 06 July 1966]
The Holy Conception Unit
- The Holy Bible is the historical record book of the so-called
Negroes and so-called Indians scattered throughout North, Central, South
America, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, the West Indian Islands and
all the lands throughout the four corners of the earth.
Hassan Hotari
- I am very happy and proud of what my son did and, frankly, am a bit
jealous. I wish I had done [it]. My son has fulfilled the Prophet's
wishes. He has become a hero! Tell me, what more could a father ask?
My prayer is that Saeed's brothers, friends and fellow Palestinians will
sacrifice their lives, too. There is no better way to show God you love
him. [commenting on his 22-year-old son Saeed's suicide bombing in
Israel which killed 21 people on 01 June 2001]
Kent Hovind
- The purpose if the New Age Movement is to get everybody together
under one government, one religion, and then institute Lucifer to be the
leader.
- See, God has got plans for His kids. He is going to fix it back
like it used to be; you are going to be able to have your own pet
dinosaur for 1000 years, fixed back like it used to be.
- Secondly, man was hunting them [dinosaurs]. Back in those days they
called them dragons. They killed the dragons for meat. There would be a
lot of hamburger in one brachiosaurus. You could feed the village for a
while, right? Or because they were a menace, or just to be a hero; "I
slew the dragon." [Creation Seminar Online (Part 3a) Dinosaurs and the Bible]
- They know that evolution is the only philosophy that can be used to
justify their political agenda of: i. Communism. ii. Racism. iii.
Abortion. iv. Nazism. v. Socialism. vi. Gay rights. vii. Women's
liberation. viii. Extreme environmentalism. ix. Euthanasia. x.
Pornography. xi. Humanism. xii. New Age Movement.
- There is definitely a conspiracy, but I don't think that it is a
human conspiracy. I don't believe there is a smoke-filled room where a
group of men get together, and decide to teach evolution in all the
schools. I believe that it is at a much higher level. I believe that it
is a Satanic conspiracy. The reason these different people come to the
same conclusion is not because they all met together; it is because they
all work for the devil. He is their leader and they don't even know it.
Darcus Howe
- I don't call it rioting, I call it an insurrection of the masses of
the people. It is happening in Syria, it is happening in Clapham, it is
happening in Liverpool, it is happening in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, and
that is the nature of the historical moment.
Have some respect for an
old West Indian negro and stop accusing me of rioting. Have some
respect, I have grandchildren. You [Fiona Bruce, interviewer] sound like
an idiot. [BBC, 09 August 2011]
Lafayette Ron Hubbard
- I'm drinking lots of rum and popping pinks and greys. [Letter to his wife, 1967]
- It doesn't give me displeasure to hear of a virgin being raped. The lot of women is to be fornicated. [Affirmations, 1947]
- They smell of all the baths they didn't take. The trouble with China is, there are too many chinks here. [Diary entry, 1927]
- Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to
make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion.
[Reader's Digest reprint, May 1980, also quoted in the New York Times, 11 July 1984]
- Self analysis cannot revive the dead. Self analysis will not empty
insane asylums or stop wars. These are the tasks of the dianetic auditor
and the group dianetic technician.
A man could go mad simply reading
this book. [Self Analysis, 1951]
- We, by the way, have generated atomic fission without the use of
uranium. This is not a difficult thing to do. All you do is synthesize a
gamma ray and synthesize some other rays and by concentrating them, you
can get an atomic explosion. [Radiation, lecture 05 November 1956]
- Handling truth is a touchy business also. You don't have to tell
everything you know that would jam the comm lines too. Tell an
acceptable truth.
So PR becomes the technique of communicating an
acceptable truth and which will attain the desirable result. [PR Series 2, The Missing Ingredient, 13 August 1970]
- The purpose of the suit is to harass and discourage rather than to
win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on
somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway, well knowing that he is
not authorized, will generally be sufficient to cause his professional
decease. If possible, of course, ruin him utterly. [A Manual On The Dissemination Of Material, 1955]
- Not smoking enough will cause lung cancer. Not smoking enough will
cause lung cancer! If anybody is getting a cancerous activity in the
lung, the probabilities are that it's radiation dosage coupled with the
fact that he smokes. And what it does is start to run out the radiation
dosage, don't you see. [SHSBC 35, 6107C19, Question & Answer Period: Auditor Effect On Meter, 19 October 1969]

Rabiah Hutchinson
- Do I feel for the people who died [in the Bali bombings]? Not as
much as for those 200 Afghani people that gave me and my children
shelter. Why? Because they were holidaying in someone's country,
sometimes engaging in child pornography or pedophilia or drug taking. [Syndey Morning Herald, 05 February 2008]
Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson)
- So don't follow me up and down your market or your little chop suey
ass will be a target. So pay your respects to the black fist or we'll
burn your store right down to a crisp. [Death Certificate, 1991]
Ignatius of Loyola, Spanish Founder Of The Society Of Jesus (Jesuits)
- We should always be disposed to believe that that which appears
white is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides. [Exercitia Spiritualia, 1541]
Hojatoleslam Imani
- A woman should endure any violence or torture imposed on her by her
husband for she is fully at his disposal. Without his permission she
may not leave her house even for a good action (such as charitable
work). Otherwise her prayers and devotions will not be accepted by God
and curses of heaven and earth will fall upon her.
Pope Innocent III
- Use against heretics the spiritual sword of excommunication, and if this does not prove effective, use the material sword.
Holy Inquisition
- The first proposition, that the sun is the centre and does not
revolve around the earth, is foolish, absurd, false in theology, and
heretical, because expressly contrary to Holy Scripture. The second
proposition, that the earth is not the centre but revolves around the
sun, is absurd, false in philosophy, and from a theological point of
view at least, opposed to the true faith. [Judgement on Galileo, 1616]
Irenaeus
- It is not possible that the Gospels can be either more or fewer in
number than they are, for there are four zones of the world and four
principal winds.
Luce Irigaray
- If women have felt so terribly threatened by the accident at
Chernobyl, that is because of the irreducible relation of their bodies
to the universe. [A chance for life: Limits To The Concept Of The Neuter And The Universal In Science And Other Disciplines, 1993]
- Is E = MC2 a sexed equation? Perhaps it is.
Let us make the hypothesis that it is insofar as it privileges the
speed of light over other speeds that are vitally necessary to us. What
seems to me to indicate the sexed nature of the equation is not directly
its uses by nuclear weapons, rather it is having privileged what goes
the fastest. [Sujet De Le Science, Sujet Sexué?, 1987]
Maulana Mohavya Irshad
- I'm ready to become a suicide bomber and lay down my life for
Islam. Democracy is wrong. Earth belongs to God and God's law must be
implemented. I hope Britain and the rest of the world will have Sharia
Law this century. We will continue to sacrifice our lives to achieve
this. [30 December 2007]
Sayful Islam
- We definitely want to see Sharia law in place here. We want to see
it implemented for everyone. Only then will there be harmony and there
will be peace and justice amongst mankind. [protesting about the arrest
of the 7/7 terrorists, April 2007]
Pastor Joe Ita
- We base our faith on the Bible, we are led by the holy spirit and
we have a programme of exposing false religion and sorcery. We are the
only ones who really know the secrets of witches. Parents don't come
here with the intention of abandoning their children, but when a child
is a witch then you have to say "what is that there? Not your child."
The parents come to us when they see manifestations. But the secret is
that, even if you abandon your child, the curse is still upon you, even
if you kill your child the curse stays. So you have to come here to be
delivered afterwards as well. We know how they operate. A witch will put
a spell on its mother's bra and the mother will get breast cancer. But
we cannot attribute all things to witches, they work on inclinations
too, so they don't create HIV, but if you are promiscuous then the witch
will give you HIV.[The Observer, 09 December 2007]
Abu Izzadeen (Trevor Brooks)
- I want to be blown into pieces, with my hands in one place and my feet in another. [as reported in Undercover In The Academy Of Hatred, Times Online, 03 July 2005]
- You don't want to live in a Shariah? Well, when it comes, I'm sure you'll change your mind! [interview with Richard Watson, Saviour Sect, BBC, 24 September 2005]
- Whoever allies himself with the Kaffirs against the believers, he
is one of them. So those so-called enemies to Allah who join the British
Government 'cos remember the British Government, my dear Muslim
brothers, are crusaders, crusaders come to kill and rape Muslims
whoever joins them is a mortal Kaffir. And his only hukum is for his
head to be removed.
- I would say about those who do suicide operations or martyrdom
operations is they're completely praiseworthy. I have no allegiance to
the Queen whatsoever or to British society, in fact if I see mujahideen
attack the UK I am always standing with the Muslims, never against the
Muslims. I would never denounce the bombings, even if my own family was
to suffer, because we always stand with the Muslims regardless of the
consequences. [Newsnight, 02 August 2005]
Rabbi Shlomo Ben-Izri, Shas Deputy Health Minister
- The choice is disgraceful for me as a Jew. The Jewish people have
always been a light unto the nations. They will now be a darkness unto
the nations. Everyone abroad will say: 'Look at those Jews and what they
are sending to perform, some kind of crossbreed'. Dana is an
abomination. Even in Sodom there was nothing like it. [regarding Dana
International (Sharon Cohen) before she went on to win the 1998

Qudratullah Jamal, Taliban Information Minister
- All we are breaking is stones. These idols have been gods of the

Umran Javed
- I regret saying these things, they were just soundbites, slogans. I
do not want to see Denmark being bombed or the USA. I was disappointed I
said these things. I made the statements in an emotionally charged
atmosphere. These things were the only thing that came into my mind. [03
January 2007]
- My dear Muslim brothers and sisters, we need to understand why we
are here today. To declare that we will not stand for what Denmark did
We will not stand for what France, for what Europe, for what the whole
of the disbelievers and the Western world are united for. You have
declared war against Allah and his Messenger. You have declared war
against the Muslim community, for which you will pay a heavy price. Take
lesson of Theo van Gogh. Take lesson of the Jews of Khaybar. Take
lessons for what you can see, for you will pay with your blood. Denmark,
you will pay. Denmark, you will pay, you will pay. With your blood,
with your blood, with your blood. Bomb, bomb Denmark. Jihad is the path
of God. Democracy, hypocrisy. Democracy go to hell. Denmark go to hell.
Freedom go to hell. Bomb, bomb Denmark. Denmark watch your back. Zarqawi
is coming back. Bomb, bomb USA. Bomb, bomb Denmark. [03 February 2006]

John, Bishop Of Nikiu
- And in those days there appeared in Alexandria a female philosopher, a pagan named Hypatia,
and she was devoted at all times to magic, astrolabes and instruments
of music, and she beguiled many people through Satanic wiles. [Chronicle
84.87]
Lyndon Johnson
- Listen to me Mr. Ambassador. Fuck your parliament and your
constitution. America is an elephant, Cyprus is a flea. If these two
fleas continue itching the elephant, they may just get whacked by the
elephant's trunk, whacked good.
We pay a lot of good American dollars
to the Greeks. If your Prime Minister gives me talk about democracy,
parliament and constitutions, he, his parliament and his constitution
may not last very long. [speaking to the Greek Ambassador regarding
Cyprus, 1964]
- Over the years of our history our forces have gone forth into many
lands, but always they returned when they were no longer needed. For the
purpose of America is never to suppress liberty, but always to save it.
The purpose of America is never to take freedom, but always to return
it; never to break peace but to bolster it, and never to seize land but
always to save lives. One month ago it became my duty to send our
marines into the Dominican Republic , and I sent them for these same ends. [1965]
Phillip Johnson
- The objective [of 'Intelligent Design'] is to convince people that
Darwinism is inherently atheistic, thus shifting the debate from
creationism vs. evolution to the existence of God vs. the non-existence
of God. From there people are introduced to the truth of the Bible and
then the question of sin and finally introduced to Jesus. [Reclaiming America For Christ, 1999]
Josephus
- The testimony of women is not accepted as valid because of the lightheadedness and brashness of the female sex. [Antiquities, IV 219]
Tessa Jowell, Secretary Of State For Culture Media & Sport
- The building most closely associated with Holmes is 221b Baker
Street. I would be only too pleased to consider listing that building

Mufti Muhammad Kadwa, Ask Imam Online
- Three things are beneficial for the eyesight; a) Looking towards
the name of Allah, b) Recitation of the Qur'aan, b) Looking at greenery.
Furthermore, protecting the eyes from casting evil glances is also
imperative. Refrain from watching television. It is neither good for
your eyes nor your spiritual self. [responding to the question "Is there
any duas I could make for problems with 'light sensitive eyes'. This is
causing me headaches and eye pain every time I sit in front of the
computer or TV. I realize that there are duas such as reciting
'ya-nooro' 11 times after fardh salaat but they are mainly for people
with week eyesight. Please can you prescribe a dua for light sensitive
eyes if possible."]
Rabbi Allen Kaplan
- Your Jewish soul died the day that you sold it to the purveyors of
murder. Your soul, my dear, is petrified and lost. [email to Deborah
Fink, of Jews for Justice for Palestinians]
'Kate'
- Well if God sent His angel or He clearly ordered me to kill my
mother or torture her, yes I would I am a servant of God. It might be a
test of faith to see I'd be willing to do it. [in response to "So if
your god told you to kill your mother, would you do it? What if it said
it had to be through a slow, torturous evisceration? What if it told you
to begin feasting on her entrails before she's even dead? What if it
told you to gather all of your children around, and explain to them that
they'll get to do this to you some day? What if it told you to smile
while doing all this?", alt.atheism, 22 October 2006]
Dr Abdul Majid Katme, Islamic Medical Association
- You see, God created us perfect and with a very strong defence
system. If you breast-feed your child for two years as the Koran says
and you eat Koranic food like olives and black seed, and you do ablution
each time you pray, then you will have a strong defence system. Many
vaccines, especially those given to children, are full of haram
substances human parts, gelatine from pork, alcohol, animal/monkey
parts, all coming from the West who do not have knowledge of halal or
haram. It is forbidden in Islam to have any of these haram substances in
our bodies. [The Times, 28 January 2007]
George Kennan, Defence Advisor
- We have about 60% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its'
population. In this situation we cannot fail to be the object of envy
and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a
pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position
of disparity. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the
luxury of altruism and world benefaction. We should cease to talk about
vague and unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of living
standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are
going to have to deal in straight power concept. The less we are then
hampered by idealistic slogans, the better. [Policy Planning Study 23 for the US Government]
Rev. Anthony Kennedy
- I would shoot the bastards if I was allowed, because a woman can't
represent Christ. Men and women are totally different, that's not my
fault, and Jesus chose men for his disciples.
Priestesses should be
burnt at the stake because they are assuming powers they have no right
to. In the medieval world that was called sorcery. The way of dealing
with sorcerers was to burn them at the stake. It's illegal now but if I
had my way that is what would happen to them. In medieval times, I would
burn the bloody bitches. [regarding women C-of-E priests, The Times, 09 March 1994]
Ibn Khaldun
- In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because
of the universalism of the (Muslim) mission and the (obligation to)
convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force. [The Muqaddimah]
Chief Superintendant Ak Khan
- We will certainly take any lessons we can get from this process and
make sure we put them in place so this sort of thing never happens
again. [03 July 2009]
Anwar Ali Khan, Judge, Chorlaki, Pakistan
- The illegitimate child is not disowned by her and therefore is
proof of zina [law forbidding sex outside marriage]. The lady stated
before this court that, yes, she had committed sexual intercourse, but
with the brother of her husband. This left no option to the court but to
impose the highest penalty. [speaking of Zafran Bibi, who was raped and
so sentenced to death by stoning, reported in New York Times, 19 May 2002]
Ayatollah Khomeini
- Killing is a form of mercy because it rectifies the person.
Sometimes a person cannot be reformed unless he is cut up and burnt.
You must kill, burn and lock up those in opposition. [03 February 1984]
- Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against
war. Those who say this are witless. Islam says: Kill all the
unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Kill them, put them to the
sword and scatter their armies.
- If one commits the act of sodomy with a cow, a ewe, or a camel,
their urine and their excrement become impure, and even their milk may
no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed and as quickly as
possible and burned. [The Little Green Book, Sayings Of Ayatollah Khomeini, Political, Philosophical, Social And Religious]
- A man can have sex with sheep, cows and camels and so on. However,
he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He should not sell
the meat to the people in his own village; however, selling the meat to
the next door village should be fine. [Tahrirolvasyleh, vol IV, 1990]
- Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of
creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and
prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no
jokes in Islam. There is no humour in Islam. There is no fun in Islam.
There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.
- A man can marry a girl younger than nine years of age, even if the
girl is still a baby being breastfed. A man, however is prohibited from
having intercourse with a girl younger than nine, other sexual acts such
as foreplay, rubbing, kissing and sodomy is allowed. A man having
intercourse with a girl younger than nine years of age has not committed
a crime, but only an infraction, if the girl is not permanently
damaged. If the girl, however, is permanently damaged, the man must
provide for her all her life. But this girl will not count as one of the
man's four permanent wives. He also is not permitted to marry the
girl's sister.
- We know of no absolute values besides total submission to the will
of the Almighty. People say: "Don't lie!" But the principle is different
when we serve the will of Allah. He taught man to lie so that we can
save ourselves at moments of difficulty and confuse our enemies. Should
we remain truthful at the cost of defeat and danger to the Faith? We say
not. People say: "Don't kill!" But the Almighty Himself taught us how
to kill. Without such a skill man would have been wiped out long ago by
the beasts. So shall we not kill when it is necessary for the triumph of
the Faith?
Deceit, trickery, conspiracy, cheating, stealing and
killing are nothing but means. On their own they are neither good nor
bad. For no deed is either good or bad, isolated from the intentions
that motivated it.
Hal Kimberly, Legislator, Georgia
- Read the Bible. It teaches you how to act. Read the hymn book. It
contains the finest poetry ever written. Read the almanac. It shows you
how to figure out what the weather will be. There isn't another book
that is necessary for anyone to read, and therefore I am opposed to all
libraries. [early 1900s]
Mark Kimmitt
- Change the channel to a legitimate, authoritative, honest news
station. The stations that are showing Americans intentionally killing
women and children are not legitimate news sources. That is propaganda,
and that is lies. [commenting on the Al Jazeera TV station, New York Times, 12 April 2004]

he acknowledges the best and noblest traditions in American
culture.
in its own way this War Of The Worlds directly
responds to America's post-9/11 fears.

that American individualism and family values can overcome mindless
evil.

Bill Kochman
- I am referring to the modern branches of science which call God a
liar, and which call His Word a lie. Archeology, palaeontology, and
astronomy to name a few. They all claim the Earth and Universe are
billions of years old in direct conflict with the Biblical record.
Between God's Word and man's word, I'll believe God's Word any day.
Margaret Koilel
- At seven in the morning, everybody turns up for the ceremony. The
girl who is usually 12 is seated on a cow-hide. The girls often
scream and howl and try to resist, so one woman holds her left leg, the
other holds her right leg, and another holds her shoulders back. We pour
cold water on her vagina to make her numb. Then I go down on one leg
and start to cut with a razor.
and then I cut it [the clitoris]
completely off. I cut out all the meat. I know when to stop when I feel
the bone and there's nothing left to cut away. We take her to bed and
cover her with a cloth. In the evening, the women come back to check I
have done a good job. If I have left anything by mistake, because the
girl kicked and screamed too much, we cut her again. [March 2009]
Kosher
- Bishul Akum - non-Jewish cooking: One may not eat food cooked by a
non-Jew. Rabbis feared that this may precipitate an inappropriately
close personal relationship between Jew and non-Jew.
- Chalav Akum - non-Jewish milk: Milk that was not milked in the
presence of a Jew is forbidden by Rabbinic injunction. Rabbis feared
that the non-Jew may have mixed non-kosher milk (like milk from a
non-kosher animal) into the milk.
- Stam Yoinom - non-Jewish wine: One may not drink wine of a non-Jew,
even if the wine was not poured to avodah zarah. This prohibition is
also based on the concern that drinking his wine may cause a personal
relationship between Jew and non-Jew.
- Yayin Akum - wine touched by a non-Jew: Rabbis prohibited (even to
derive benefit from) the wine of a Jew if it was touched and moved (or
even if it may have been touched) by a non-Jew. Rabbis were concerned
that the non-Jew may have poured some of the wine as an offering to his
avodah zarah. These laws are complex and of importance to anyone who has
non-Jewish cleaning help.

so many rights given by nature to man. [Great Encyclical Letters]
- It will never be lawful to restrict inspiration merely to certain
parts of the Holy Scriptures, or to grant that the sacred writer could
have made a mistake. Nor may the opinion of those be tolerated, who, in
order to get out of these difficulties, do not hesitate to suppose that
Divine inspiration extends only to what touches faith and morals, on the
false plea that the true meaning is sought for less in what God has
said than in the motive for which He has said it.
They render in exact

else; without that, God would not be the Author of the Scripture in its
entirety.

- I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favour of
bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white
and black races that I am not, nor ever have been, in favour of
making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold
office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition
to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black
races from living together on terms of social and political equality.
And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there
must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any
other man, am in favour of having the superior position assigned to the
white race. [Fourth Debate with Stephen A. Douglas, Charleston,

Jack London
- After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad and the vampire,
he had some awful stuff left with which he made a scab. A scab is a
two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a waterlogged brain, and a
combination backbone made of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts he
carries a tumour of rotten principles. When a scab comes down the
street men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven, and the devil
shuts the gates of hell to keep him out. No man has a right to scab as
there is a pool of water deep enough to drown his body in, or a rope
long enough to hang his carcass with. Judas Iscariot was a gentleman
compared to a scab. For betraying his master he had the character to
hang himself. A scab hasn't. Esau sold his birthright for a mess of
pottage. Judas Iscariot sold his Saviour for thirty pieces of silver.
Benedict Arnold sold his country for a promise of a commission in the
British Army. The modern strike breaker sells his birthright, his
country, his wife, his children and his fellow-men for an unfulfilled
promise from his employer, trust or corporation. Esau was a traitor to
himself, Judas Iscariot was a traitor to his Lord, Benedict Arnold was a
traitor to his country. A strike breaker is a traitor to his God, his
country, his family and the working class.

- The winds are nothing else but good or bad spirits. Hark! how the Devil is puffing and blowing
- The word and works of God is quite clear, that women were made either to be wives or prostitutes. [Works 12.94]
- Some [demons] are also in the thick black clouds, which cause hail,

- This fool wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy; but
sacred scripture tells us that Joshua commanded the sun to stand still,
and not the earth. [speaking of Copernicus, "an upstart astrologer"]
- There is on earth among all dangers no more dangerous thing than a
richly endowed and adroit reason
Reason must be deluded, blinded, and
destroyed.
- Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding,
and whatever it sees it must put out of sight, and wish to know nothing
but the word of god.
- Even though they grow weary and wear themselves out with
child-bearing, it does not matter; let them go on bearing children till
they die, that is what they are there for. [Works 20.84]
- Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the
aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles
against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from
God.
- Idiots, the lame, the blind, the dumb, are men in whom the devils

- Men have broad and large chests, and small narrow hips, and more
understanding than women, who have but small and narrow breasts, and
broad hips, to the end they should remain at home, sit still, keep
house, and bear and bring up children. [Table Talk]
- Make short work with heretics, they can be condemned unheard. And
while they are burning at the stake, the faithful should destroy the
evil root and branch and bathe his hands in the blood of the bishops and
the pope who is the devil in disguise.
- There is on earth among all dangers no more dangerous thing than a
richly endowed and adroit reason, especially if she enters into
spiritual matters which concern the soul and god. For it is more
possible to teach an ass to read than to blind such a reason and lead it
right; for reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed.
- Reason is the Devil's greatest whore; by nature and manner of being
she is a noxious whore; she is a prostitute, the Devil's appointed
whore; whore eaten by scab and leprosy who ought to be trodden under

Throw dung in her face to make

- In England, at this day, if elections were open to all classes of
people, the property of landed proprietors would be insecure. An
agrarian law would take place. If these observations be just, our
government ought to secure the permanent interests of the country
against innovation. Landholders ought to have a share in the government,
to support these invaluable interests, and to balance and check the
other. They ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the
opulent against the majority.
Sheik Abdullah Aal Mahmud
- If the husband wished to use beatings in the treatment of his wife,
it is essential, absolutely essential, to never do it in front of the
children. The beating must remain between him and her and with the
conditions outlined, which are that he does not draw blood nor leave a
perceptible bruise on her body and avoid her face as well as dangerous
parts concerning the body. If the husband violates these directives, he
then violates the limits set by the almighty. [2005?]
Atiq Malik, Councillor, Brent
- The reason why male gets more share than women is that male members
of the family have the responsibilty to provide living expenses to
female members of the family [because we want them uneducated and don't

has an affair she is lashed 100 times. If a married woman has an affair
she is stoned to death. What is wrong in it? [Harrow Observer, 25 February 2009]

A. T. Mann
- When the three outer planets were discovered, one could say that
their discovery was simultaneously the result of an extension of the
collective state of consciousness on Earth and the psychic need for a
symbol to account for the transformational nature of life at that time.
There is always synchronicity an equivalence of meaning in the
process of discovery.
The discovery of these three great planets
clarified influences which could not be explained by an exclusively
personal mechanism, but rather by a collective process affecting all
mankind. Since our atomic and genetic structure contains formations
identical to the cosmic structure, we could even say that we discovered the trans-Saturnian planets within ourselves and then searched without for their actual 'physical' forms.
In fact, all three were initially predicted and then subsequently
discovered. A sarcastic comment on the pragmatism of science voiced by
Charles Fort casts light upon 'discoveries': "One of the greatest of all
secrets was for ages blabbed by all the pots and kettles in the world,
but to no purpose, because it was not yet 'steam-engine time'". [The Round Art The Astrology Of Time And Space]
Michael Marcavage, Repent America
- Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God
destroyed a wicked city. From 'Girls Gone Wild' to 'Southern Decadence,'
New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public
celebration of sin. From the devastation may a city full of
righteousness emerge.
We must help and pray for those ravaged by this
disaster, but let us not forget that the citizens of New Orleans
tolerated and welcomed the wickedness in their city for so long. May
this act of God cause us all to think about what we tolerate in our city
limits, and bring us trembling before the throne of Almighty God.

Justin Martyr
- Whatever things were rightly said among all teachers are the property of us Christians. [Second Apology]
- As to the objection of our Jesus's being crucified, I say, that suffering was common to all the aforementioned sons of Jove. [First Apology]
- As to his being born of a virgin, you have your Perseusto
balance that. As to his curing the lame, and the paralytic, and such as
were cripples from birth, this is little more than what you say of your
Aesculapius. [First Apology]
- It having reached the Devil's ears that the prophets had foretold
the coming of Christ, the Son of God, he set the heathen Poets to bring
forward a great many who should be called the sons of Jove.
The Devil laying his scheme in this, to get men to imagine that the
true history of Christ was of the same characters the prodigious fables
related of the sons of Jove. [First Apology]
- Having heard it proclaimed through the prophets that the Christ was
to come and that the ungodly among men were to be punished by fire, the
wicked spirits put forward many to be called Sons of God, under the
impression that they would be able to produce in men the idea that the
things that were said with regards to Christ were merely marvellous
tales, like the things that were said by the poets. [First Apology]
- For myself, when I discovered the wicked disguises which the evil
spirits had thrown the divine doctrines of the Christians, to turn aside
others from joining them, laughed both at those who framed these
falsehoods, and at the disguise itself, and at popular opinion; not
because the teachings of Plato are different from those of Christ, but
because they are not in all respects similar, as neither are those of
the poets, Stoics, and historians [Second Apology]
- Analogies To The History Of Christ. And when we say also that the
Word, who is the first-birth of God, was produced without sexual union,
and that He, Jesus Christ, our Teacher, was crucified and died, and rose
again, and ascended into heaven, we propound nothing different from
what you believe regarding those whom you esteem sons of Jupiter. For you know how many sons your esteemed writers ascribed to Jupiter: Mercury, the interpreting word and teacher of all; Aesculapius, who, though he was a great physician, was struck by a thunderbolt, and so ascended to heaven; and Bacchus too, after he had been torn limb from limb; and Hercules, when he had committed himself to the flames to escape his toils; and the sons of Leda, and Dioscuri; and Perseus,
son of Danae; and Bellerophon, who, though sprung from mortals, rose to
heaven on the horse Pegasus. For what shall I say of Ariadne, and those
who, like her, have been declared to be set among the stars? And what
of the emperors who die among yourselves, whom you deem worthy of
deification, and in whose behalf you produce some one who swears he has
seen the burning Caesar rise to heaven from the funeral pyre? [First Apology]
- Be well assured, then, Trypho, that I am established in the
knowledge of and faith in the Scriptures by those counterfeits which he
who is called the devil is said to have performed among the Greeks; just
as some were wrought by the Magi in Egypt, and others by the false
prophets in Elijah's days. For when they tell that Bacchus, son of Jupiter,
was begotten by intercourse with Semele, and that he was the discoverer
of the vine; and when they relate, that being torn in pieces, and
having died, he rose again, and ascended to heaven; and when they
introduce wine into his mysteries, do I not perceive that [the devil]
has imitated the prophecy announced by the patriarch Jacob, and recorded
by Moses? And when they tell that Herculeswas strong, and travelled over all the world, and was begotten by Joveof
Alcmene, and ascended to heaven when he died, do I not perceive that
the Scripture which speaks of Christ, "strong as a giant to run his
race," has been in like manner imitated? And when he [the devil] brings
forward Aesculapius
as the raiser of the dead and healer of all diseases, may I not say
that in this matter likewise he has imitated the prophecies about
Christ?
And when I hear, Trypho, that Perseus was begotten of a virgin, I understand that the deceiving serpent counterfeited also this. [Dialogue With Trypho The Jew]
Peter Martyr
- So important is it to comprehend the work of creation that we see
the creed of the Church take this as its starting point. Were this
Article taken away, there would be no original sin; the promise of
Christ would become void, and all the vital force of our religion would
be destroyed.
Mychal Massie, National Advisory Council Member, Project 21
-
the black people today that curse America are cursing God because
if God had not permitted the Ashanti and Dahomey tribes of ancient
Africa to trap other Africans and sell them to Muslims, who sold them to
Europeans, we would not have what we have today. [Janet Parshall's America, 18 October 2005]
Cotton Mather
- In a little more than one hour, five or six hundred of these
barbarians were dismissed from a world that was burdened with them.
[describing the killing of native Indians]
- To ye Aged and Beloved Mr. John Higginson, There is now at sea a
ship called the Welcome, which has on board an hundred or more of the
heretics and malignants called "Quakers," with W. Penn, who is the chief
scamp, at the head of them. The general court has accordingly given
secret orders to Master Malachi Huscott, of the brig Porpoise, to waylay
the said Penn and his ungodly crew, so that the Lord may be glorified,
and not mocked on the soil of this new country with the heathen worship
of these people. Much spoil can be made by selling the whole lot to
Barbados, where slaves fetch good prices in rum and sugar. [finding

Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi
- Jahiliyya [non-Muslims] have absolutely no right to seize the reins
of power in any part of Allah's earth nor to direct the collective
affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines.
the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to
dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience
to the Islamic way of life.
Abu al-A'la al-Mawdudi
- There can be no reconciliation between Islam and democracy, not
even in minor issues, because they contradict each other in all
particulars.
Ansarullah Mawlafizada, Judge, Afghanistan
- The Prophet Muhammad has said several times that those who convert
from Islam should be killed if they refuse to come back.
Islam is a
religion of peace, tolerance, kindness and integrity. That is why we
have told him if he regrets what he did, then we will forgive him.

Islamic law was guilty of apostasy, punishable by death, 24 March 2006]
St. Maximus The Confessor
- That mind is perfect which, through true faith, in supreme ignorance supremely knows the supremely Unknowable.
Robert McGee, Psychologist, The Search For Significance
- I think we're going to lose tens of thousands of our kids to
witchcraft. And they don't understand that there is a spiritual world
out there and it will suck them in. Once they start using spiritual
powers, the spiritual powers will start using them.
What is it about
the word 'abomination' that we don't understand? An adult reads these
books differently than a child would. A child gets more involved. The
movie will be very destructive. It's going to give kids images. The
younger the children, the worse it's going to be for them. They're going
to get hacked off at somebody and they're going to want the same power
as Harry the wizard. [speaking of the Harry Potter film, 12 November 2001]
Mark McKinnon, Media Advisor To G. W. Bush
- You think he's an idiot, don't you? No, you do, all of you do, up
and down the West Coast, the East Coast, a few blocks in southern
Manhattan called Wall Street. Let me clue you in. We don't care. You
see, you're outnumbered 2 to 1 by folks in the big, wide middle of
America, busy working people who don't read The New York Times or Washington Post or The L.A. Times.
And you know what they like? They like the way he walks and the way he
points, the way he exudes confidence. They have faith in him. And when
you attack him for his malaprops, his jumbled syntax, it's good for us.
Because you know what those folks don't like? They don't like you!
[speaking to Ron Suskind, 2002]
Jim McManus, Priest, St Mary's, Perthshire
- Witchcraft has as its basis an evil source devil worship. In the end it only cons its devotees, it does them no good at all. [News Scotsman.com, 30 June 2003]
John McTernan & Bill Koenig
- America is now experiencing the consequences (curses) of Middle
East policies which have been opposed to God's Word and to the
preservation of His covenant land. Ever since the Madrid Conference ten
years ago, this country's participation in Israel's destiny has been
flawed when put in context of Holy Scripture. The events of September 11
were a national wake-up call. However, if this nation continues to
support the Mitchell Plan, affirming a "land for peace" approach,
America can expect to experience the lifting of the Lord's protective
hand in an even greater measure. It is a fact that Israel's very
existence is in grave danger, because of our nation's sponsorship of
"land for peace" plans which have led her to the brink of war. [Israel: The Blessing Or The Curse]
Golda Meir
- After the Holocaust, Jews are allowed to do anything. [comment to Shulamit Aloni]
Maria Rosa Menocal
- The dhimmi, as these covenanted peoples were called, were granted
religious freedom, not forced to convert to Islam. They could continue
to be Jews and Christians, and, as it turned out, they could share in
much of Muslim social and economic life. In return for this freedom of
religious conscience the Peoples of the Book (pagans had no such
privilege) were required to pay a special tax â no Muslims paid taxes
â and to observe a number of restrictive regulations: Christians and
Jews were prohibited from attempting to proselytize Muslims, from
building new places of worship, from displaying crosses or ringing
bells. In sum, they were forbidden most public displays of their
religious rituals. [The Ornament Of The World, 2002 ]
Dr Ijaz Mian
- You cannot accept the rule of the kaffir. We have to rule ourselves and we have to rule the others. [Dispatches, Channel 4, 15 January 2007]
- They would make sure that every person prays to Allah, five times,
every woman will be covered from the top to the toes, hijab, otherwise
the police will just collect them. [on his ideal police state, Dispatches, Channel 4, 15 January 2007]
- They send the police and they say: 'Well, if you don't come for
prayers, close your shop, we will arrest you. But if you don't, then we
have to bring the punishment on you you will be killed and nobody will
pray for you.' [praising the Saudi police, Dispatches, Channel 4, 15 January 2007]
- You are in a situation in which you have to live like a state
within a state, until you take over. But until this happens, you have to
preach, until you become such a force that the people just, just submit
to you. Hands up, until you become strong enough to take over. [Dispatches, Channel 4, 15 January 2007]
Minhaz, Persian Historian
- Most of the inhabitants of the place were 'Brahmanas' with shaven
heads. They were put to death. Large numbers of books were found there,
and when the Mahammadans saw them, they called for some person to
explain the contents. But all of the men were killed. It was discovered
that the whole fort and city was a place for study, in the Hindi
language the word Bihar means a college. [reporting on the destruction
of Nalanda and murder of all its (thousands of) monks and students by
Bhaktiyar Khilji, Tabaquat-i-Nasiri]
Qari Edi Mohamed, Muezzin, Central Mosque, Kabul
- The rule of the Taliban was in agreement with Islam.
They didn't
beat women who covered their faces. If there was a bit of ankle showing,
yes, they beat them. If they went out without their brother or their
mother they would also be beaten but that's reasonable. It was the
Taliban's job. They were within their rights.
It's a sin. It's a sin
for them to show their faces and it's a sin for me to look at them.
[quoted in The Guardian, 16 November 2001]
Abu Mohammed, Hizb ut-Tahrir (Party Of Liberation)
- Islam obliges Muslims to possess power so that they can intimidate
I would not say terrorize the enemies of Islam. In the beginning, the
Caliphate would strengthen itself internally and it wouldn't initiate
jihad. But after that we would carry Islam as an intellectual call to
all the world, and we will make people bordering the Caliphate believe
in Islam. Or if they refuse then we'll ask them to be ruled by Islam.
And if after all discussions and negotiations they still refuse, then
the last resort will be a jihad to spread the spirit of Islam and the
rule of Islam [smiles]. This is done in the interests of all people to
get them out of darkness and into light. [quoted in Christian Science Monitor, 10 May 2006]
Omar Bakri Mohammed
- Yes I condemn killing any innocent people, but not any kuffar. [22 July 2005]
Roy Moore, Supreme Court Chief Justice
- The State carries the power of the sword, that is, the power to
prohibit with physical penalties, such as confinement and even
execution. It must use that power to prevent the subversion of children
toward this lifestyle, to not encourage a criminal lifestyle.
No
matter how much society appears to change, the law on this subject has
remained steadfast from the earliest history of the law, and that law is
and must be our law today. The common law designates homosexuality as
an inherent evil, and if a person openly engages in such a practice,
that fact alone would render him or her an unfit parent. [he also
described gays and their lives as "an inherent evil," a "detestable and
abominable sin," and "an act so heinous that it defies one's ability to
describe it", February 2002]
Morteza Moqtadie, Chief Prosecutor, Iran
- The shedding of this man's [Salman Rushdie's]
blood is obligatory. Any Muslim who hears an insult to the prophet must
kill the person who commits the insult. It is better that those closest
to that person try to kill him first. [1998]
Henry Morris
- When science and the Bible differ, science has obviously misinterpreted its data.
- There is no observational fact imaginable which cannot, one way or another, be made to fit the creation model.
- No geological difficulties, real or imagined, can be allowed to
take precedence over the clear statements and necessary inferences of
scripture.
- The so-called geologic ages are essentially synonymous with the
evolutionary theory of origins. The latter is the anti-God conspiracy of
Satan himself. [1978]
- The only Bible-honouring conclusion is, of course, that Genesis
1-11 is actual historical truth, regardless of any scientific or
chronological problems thereby entailed. [Remarkable Birth, 1972]
- The data of geology, in our view, should be interpreted in light of
the scripture, rather than distorting scripture to accommodate current
geological philosophy. [The Young Earth, 1994]
- Creation is not taking place now, so far as can be observed.
Therefore, it was accomplished sometime in the past, if at all, and thus
is inaccessible to the scientific method. [Scientific Creationism, 1985]
- Evolution is the root of atheism, of communism, nazism,
behaviorism, racism, economic imperialism, militarism, libertinism,
anarchism, and all manner of anti-Christian systems of belief and
practice. [The Remarkable Birth Of Planet Earth, 1972]
- The only way we can determine the true age of the earth is for God
to tell us what it is. And since He has told us, very plainly, in the
Holy Scriptures that it is several thousand years in age, and no more,
that ought to settle all basic questions of terrestrial chronology.
[1974]
- Evolution is thus not only anti-Biblical and anti-Christian, but it
is utterly unscientific and impossible as well. But it has served
effectively as the pseudo-scientific basis of atheism, agnosticism,
socialism, fascism, and numerous other false and dangerous philosophies
over the past century. [The Bible Has The Answers, 1976]
- The "stars" associated with the solar system, such as the planets
and asteroids (and it should be remembered that the term "star" in
Biblical usage applies to any heavenly body other than the sun and moon)
would be particularly likely to be involved, in the view of the heavy
concentration of angels, both bad and evil, around the planet Earth.
- Whenever hadesor
sheol is referred to in the bible, it's always down in the earth, the
depths of the earth. So right there in the centre of the earth,
apparently, there's a great opening that we can't really deal with in
terms of our seismic instruments or other instrumentation. But,
apparently, it is there. You can take the bible to mean what it says.
[1986]
- Another point important to recognise is that the creation was
"mature" from its birth. It did not have to grow or develop from simple
beginnings. God formed it full-grown in every respect, including even
Adam and Eve as mature individuals when they were first formed. The
whole universe had an "appearance of age" right from the start. It could
not have been otherwise for true creation to have taken place. "Thus
the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them."
(Genesis 2:1). [Scientific Creationism, 1985]
Mosheim
- The Christian Fathers deemed it a pious act to employ deception and fraud.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan
- The United States wished things to turn out as they did [Indonesia
invading East Timor in 1975 with US diplomatic and armaments support],
and worked to bring this about. The Department of State desired that the
United Nations prove utterly ineffective in whatever measures it
undertook [the UN Security Council ordered Indonesia to withdraw]. The
task was given to me, and I carried it forward with no inconsiderable
success [by incorrectly claiming the East Timor resistance was backed by
China]. [A Dangerous Place, 1978]
Sheikh Ramathan Shaban Mubajje, Mufti, Uganda
- I asked President Museveni to get us an island on Lake Victoria and
we take these homosexuals and they die out there. If they die there
then we shall have no more homosexuals in the country.
Homosexuality
led to the destruction of the whole generation of Prophet Lut and such
behaviours could be devastating to our generation as well. We join other
religions in the fight against homosexuality. [12 October 2007]
Robert Mugabe
- Animals in the jungle are better than these people, because at least they know that this is a man or a woman. [on homosexuals]
- I find it extremely outrageous and repugnant to my human conscience
that such immoral and repulsive organisations, like those of
homosexuals who offend both the law of nature and the morals of
religious beliefs espoused by our society, should have any advocates in
our midst and even elsewhere in the world.
- If he [David Kato] has been murdered, that's bad and we pray for
his soul. We said they [homosexuals] should be hanged, not stoned or
attacked. [Metro, 28 January 2011]
Elijah Muhammad
- The human beast the serpent, the dragon, the devil, and Satan all mean one and the same; the people or race known as the white or Caucasian race.
- When you read about how David took another man's wife, I'm that
David. You read about Noah, who got drunk that's me. You read about
Lot, who went and laid up with his own daughters. I have to fulfil all
of those things.
Khalid Abdul Muhammad
- I called them bloodsuckers. I'm not going to change that. Our
lessons talk about the bloodsuckers of the poor in the supreme wisdom of
the Nation of Islam. It's that old no-good Jew, that old imposter Jew,
that old hooked-nose, bagel-eating, lox-eating, Johnny-come-lately
perpetrating a fraud, just crawled out of the caves and hills of Europe,
so-called damn Jew. [19 February 1994]
Muhammad Al-Munajid
- There are rules of shari'a in everything. We have counted almost 70 rules about how to urinate and defecate. [26 July 2007]
- Humanity can have no happiness without Islam. Humanity can enjoy no
goodness, unless the sun of monotheism, the Koran, and the Sunna shines
upon it. The world without the sun of the divine revelation is a place
of eternal darkness, as we can see today a world of frustration,
collapse, injustice, arbitrariness, and wrongdoing. [26 July 2007]
- [26 July 2007]
Khurram Murad
- An Islamic movement is an organised struggle to change the existing
society into an Islamic society based on the Qur'an and the Sunna, and
make Islam, which is a code for entire life, supreme and dominant,
especially in the socio-political spheres. [The Islamic Movement In The West, 1980]
- I have no hesitation in suggesting that, despite its seeming
unattainability, the movement in the West should reaffirm and
re-emphasise the concept of total change and supremacy of Islam in the
Western society as its ultimate objective and allocate to it the highest
priority. [The Islamic Movement In The West, 1980]
Dr. Ghulam Mursaleen
- As a religion, Islam does not put itself in an attitude of conflict
towards other heavenly religions. It is a religion of peace and
tolerance and has always advocated the cause of human rights,
brotherhood, freedom and equality and hence Islam is a model religion
for the development of pluralistic society in the modern age of
globalization. An Islamic society is not formed of Muslims only, but of
Muslims, Christians, Jews and people of other faiths living together
under the rule of Islam. [Islam And Concept Of Peace, Saudi Gazette, 25 August 2008]
Abu Musab
- Islam does not believe in democracy, freedom, tolerance or reason.
It is well known that sovereignty belongs to Allah. There is no freedom
from Allah's rule, or tolerance against Allah's rule or reasoning of
Allah's rule. Allah commands : "The Rule is for none but Allah".

Dr. Hamza Dhib Mustafa, Supreme Fatwa Council, Hamas
- This and more, Islam promises various rights to the human. It
promises him freedom of religion and citizenship, freedom of thought,
the right to property, political freedom and his right to employment.
[28 August 2007]
- Islamic societies are cultured, humane and righteous societies,
since oppression had not found its way to them and the killing did not
spread nor extend among them. They do not go beyond the punishment
defined by Islamic law with all that pertains to human rights,
regardless of their religion, race, colour and their countries, since
human beings are equal from the point of view of Islam. [28 August 2007]
Ayatollah Mutahari
- The specific task of women in this society is to marry and bear
children. They will be discouraged from entering legislative, judicial,
or what ever careers which may require decision making, as women lack
the intellectual ability and discerning judgment required for these
careers.
Seyyed Hossein Nasr
- Certain modernists over the past century have tried to change the
Shari'ah, to reopen the gate of ijtihad [interpretation], with the aim
of incorporating modern practices into the Law and limiting the function
of Shari'ah to personal life. All of these activities emanate from a
particular attitude of spiritual weakness vis-à-vis the world and
surrender to the world. Those who are conquered by such a mentality want
to make the Shari'ah 'conform to the times,' which means to the whims
and fancies of men and the ever changing human nature which has made
'the times.' They do not realize that it is the Shari'ah according to
which society should be modeled not vice versa. [Ideals And Realities Of Islam]
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hizbullah
- Had a Muslim carried out Imam Khomeini's fatwa against the apostate Salman Rushdie,
then they would not have dared discredit the prophet, not in Denmark,
Norway or France. [displaying his repulsion for free speech, 01 February

Ian Nathan
- Here is a murderous tale bristling with Catholic guilt, sexual
perversion, moral quandries; a battle, finally, between the forces of
atheism (ironically decent) and religion (curdled into wickedness),
albeit enacted between the rusted struts of the West Pier. [review of
the new Brighton Rock, Empire, February 2011]
Paul Nelson
- So you see, the discovery of the Neanderthal people (mankind) only
goes to prove that the story of creation in the Bible is true. The
Neanderthals and the descendants of Adam never lived together and never
intermarried because they hated each other, because they looked
different, because they had different foreheads. One group's forehead
sloped back. The other group's forehead did not. The Neanderthals ceased
to live when the flood came.
So, the next time the atheists (who
don't believe the Bible is true and factual) try to throw the
Neanderthal people in your face, and cry "evolution is true and the
Bible isn't," you can tell them that the Neanderthals, along with Cain
lived in the land east of Eden: in the land of Nod and you can explain
to them that they never intermarried. Tell them that the race of Adam
was created on the third day and the Neanderthals, who God created on
the sixth day, were wiped out; and only the race of Adam was saved from
the flood which God sent. [letter to dailyamerican.com, 29 December 2005]

Dennis Nixon Jr., The Faith Tabernacle Congregation
- Why didn't we seek medical treatment? The answer is we didn't feel

Gary North
- The long-term goal of Christians in politics should be to gain
exclusive control over the franchise. Those who refuse to submit

- Gracious God, all that we have and are is a result of Your amazing
generosity. Since September 11th, in the battle against terrorism, we
have discovered again that You truly are our refuge and strength, an
ever-present help in trouble. We rededicate ourselves to be one nation
under You. In You we trust. We reaffirm our accountability to You, to
the absolutes of Your Commandments, and to justice in our society. Bless
our President, Congress, and all our leaders with supernatural power.
We commit ourselves to be faithful to You as Sovereign of our land and
as our personal Lord and Saviour. Amen. ALERT: We ask you to join us in
reading this prayer at 12:00pm on May 2, 2002, wherever you are. As we
come together, a huge wave of prayer will flow across our nation,
expressing the unity of God's people and acknowledging His sovereignty.
Thus, we will highlight this year's theme, 'America United Under God.' [Prayer for America, May 2002]
Origen
- It is demons which produce famine, unfruitfulness, corruptions of
the air, and pestilences; they hover concealed in clouds in the lower
atmosphere, and are attracted by the blood and incense which the heathen
offer to them as gods.
John L. O'Sullivan
- For this blessed mission to the nations of the world, which are
shut out from the life-giving light of truth, has America been chosen;
and her high example shall smite unto death the tyranny of kings,
hierarchs, and oligarchs, and carry the glad tidings of peace and
goodwill where myriads now endure an existence scarcely more enviable
than that of beasts of the field. Who then can doubt that our country is
destined to be the great nation of futurity? [The Great Nation Of Futurity, Democratic Review, November 1839]

to use gunpowder against pagans [American Indians] is to offer incense to the Lord.
Rev. Ian Paisley
- The dancing of the world, hugging the other sex, set to music, is
sensual, and clearly caters to the lust of the flesh. Line dancing is as
sinful as any other type of sexual gestures and touchings. It is
sensual, not a crucifying of lust but an excitement to lust. [The Guardian, 18 May 2001]

life, and shall also be liable to fine.
David Paszkiewicz, History Teacher, Kearny, N.J.
- If you reject his gift of salvation, then you know where you
belong. He did everything in his power to make sure that you could go to
heaven, so much so that he took your sins on his own body, suffered you
pains for you, and he's saying, "Please, accept me, believe." If you
reject that, you belong in hell. [sermon delivered during class, as

mine, religion and beliefs and what you are saying is actually very
offensive. [The Catholic Church's Secret Sex-Crime Files, Rolling Stone, 06 September 2011]
- I find this article and your comments offensive to me personally
and my to religion. You think there are bad people just in the Catholic
Church? No. [The Catholic Church's Secret Sex-Crime Files, Rolling Stone, 06 September 2011]
- You call yourself a Christian? By mentioning that Catholics will
"answer to God for it" you are contradicting everything you said about
Catholics being corrupt. You sound ignorant. [The Catholic Church's Secret Sex-Crime Files, Rolling Stone, 06 September 2011]
- Your comment about suing the Catholic church out of existence was
VERY offensive not only to what I believe, but to me personally. What if
I said that your beliefs should be thrown out the window or called your
so called "preacher" horrendous. [The Catholic Church's Secret Sex-Crime Files, Rolling Stone, 06 September 2011]
Polybius
- Since the masses of the people are inconstant, full of unruly
desires, passionate, and reckless of consequence, they must be filled
with fears to keep them in order. The ancients did well, therefore, to
invent gods, and the belief in punishment after death. It is rather the
moderns, who seek to extirpate such beliefs, who are to be accused of
folly. [Histories 125 BC]

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
- All Vedic Knowledge is infallible, and Hindus accept Vedic
knowledge to be complete and infallible. For example, cow dung is the
stool of an animal, and according to smrti, or Vedic injunction, if one
touches the stool of an animal he has to take a bath to purify himself.
But in the Vedic scriptures cow dung is considered to be a purifying
agent. One might consider this to be contradictory, but it is accepted
because it is Vedic injunction, and indeed by accepting this, one will
not commit a mistake; subsequently it has been proven by modern science that cow dung contains all antiseptic properties.
So Vedic knowledge is complete because it is above all doubts and
mistakes, and Bhagavad-gita is the essence of all Vedic knowledge.
Father Procopius
- If there be men on the other side of the earth, Christ must have

- This is not suicide, it is martyrdom in the name of God. Islamic
theologians and jurisprudents have debated this issue. Referring to it
as a form of jihad, under the title of jeopardising the life of the
mujahideen. It is allowed to jeopardise your soul and cross the path of
the enemy and be killed.
I consider this type of martyrdom operation
as indication of justice of Allah almighty. Allah is just. Through his
infinite wisdom he has given the weak what the strong do not possess and
that is the ability to turn their bodies into bombs like the
Palestinians do. [BBC Newsnight, 07 July 2004]
- It is obligatory on Muslim women to wear hijab (i.e., cover the
whole body except the face and hands, and the feet according to some
schools of jurisprudence). It is unanimously agreed upon among Muslim
scholars that it is not lawful for a Muslim woman to uncover any part of
her body other than the face and hands (and the feet according to some
schools of jurisprudence). Hence, it is unlawful for a woman to reveal
her hair, or arms, or chest or legs before non-mahram men. Wearing
clothes that reveal such parts of a woman's body is completely
forbidden. [11 December 2003]
- Almighty Allah has prohibited illegal sexual intercourse and
homosexuality and all means that lead to either of them. This perverted
act is a reversal of the natural order, a corruption of man's sexuality,
and a crime against the rights of females.
Muslim jurists hold
different opinions concerning the punishment for this abominable
practice. Should it be the same as the punishment for fornication, or
should both the active and passive participants be put to death? While
such punishments may seem cruel, they have been suggested to maintain
the purity of the Islamic society and to keep it clean of perverted
elements. [17 May 2004]
-
the most moderate opinion and the most likely one to be correct is
in favour of practising circumcision in the moderate Islamic way
indicated in some of the Prophet's hadiths even though such hadiths
are not confirmed to be authentic. It is reported that the Prophet
(peace and blessings be upon him) said to a midwife: "Reduce the size of the clitoris but do not exceed the limit, for that is better for her health and is preferred by husbands".
The hadith indicates that circumcision is better for a woman's health
and it enhances her conjugal relation with her husband. It's noteworthy
that the Prophet's saying "do not exceed the limit" means do not totally
remove the clitoris. Actually, Muslim countries differ over the issue
of female circumcision; some countries sanction it whereas others do
not. Anyhow, it is not obligatory, whoever finds it serving the interest
of his daughters should do it, and I personally support this under the
current circumstances in the modern world. But whoever chooses not to do
it is not considered to have committed a sin for it is mainly meant to
dignify women as held by scholars. [07 February 2004]
- Because of his natural ability and his responsibility for providing
for his family, the man is the head of the house and of the family. He
is entitled to the obedience and cooperation of his wife, and
accordingly it is not permissible for her to rebel against his
authority, causing disruption. Without a captain the ship of the
household will flounder and sink. If the husband senses that feelings of
disobedience and rebelliousness are rising against him in his wife, he
should try his best to rectify her attitude by kind words, gentle
persuasion, and reasoning with her. If this is not helpful, he should
sleep apart from her, trying to awaken her agreeable feminine nature so
that serenity may be restored and she may respond to him in a harmonious
fashion. If this approach fails, it is permissible for him to admonish
her lightly with his hands, avoiding her face and other sensitive areas.
In no case should he resort to using a stick or any other instrument
which might cause pain and injury. [08 September 2003]

I would discipline the man and teach him a lesson in morals, and I

Hashemi Rafsanjani, President, Islamic Republic of Iran
- Equality does not take precedence over justice. Justice does not
mean that all laws must be the same for men and women. One of the
mistakes the Westerners make is to forget this. The difference in the
stature, vitality, voice, development, muscular quality and physical
strength of men and women show that men are stronger and more capable in
all fields. Men's brain is bigger so men are more inclined to fight and
women are more excitable. Men are inclined to reasoning and
rationalism, while women have a fundamental tendency to be emotional.
The tendency to protect is stronger in men, where as most women like to
be protected. Such differences affect the delegation of
responsibilities, duties, and rights.

- Adulterers who are married should be buried in earth to the waist
and stoned to death. Homosexuals must be killed it's the only way to
stop them spreading. It should be by beheading or stoning, which the
general public can do. Thieves should have their hands cut off. Women
should remain indoors and films and pop music should be banned. The

- You're either with God or against him. [05 November 2001]
- Be it known from this day forward that Satan,
ruler of darkness, giver of evil, destroyer of what is good and just,
is not now, nor ever again will be, a part of this town of Inglis. Satan is hereby declared powerless, no longer ruling over, nor influencing, our citizens. In the past, Satan
has caused division, animosity, hate, confusion, ungodly acts on our
youth, and discord among our friends and loved ones. NO LONGER! The body
of Jesus Christ, those citizens cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb,
hereby join together to bind the forces of evil in the Holy Name of
Jesus. We have taken our town back for the Kingdom of God. We are taking
everything back that the devil ever stole from us. We will never again
be deceived by satanic and demonic forces. As blood-bought children of
God, we exercise our authority over the devil in Jesus' name. By that
authority, and through His Blessed Name, we command all satanic and
demonic forces to cease their activities and depart the town of Inglis.
As the Mayor of Inglis, duly elected by the citizens of this town, and
appointed by God to this position of leadership, I proclaim victory over
Satan,
freedom for our citizens, and liberty to worship our Creator and
Heavenly Father, the God of Israel. I take this action in accordance
with the words of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, as recorded in
Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 16:15-18. [Mayoral Proclamation rolled into 4

- When lawlessness is abroad in the land, the same thing will happen

- The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is

- I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover. If there is a
disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected Him from
your city. And don't wonder why He hasn't helped you when problems
begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just
remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case,
don't ask for His help because he might not be there. [commenting on the
removal of Intelligent (sic) Design being voted off the school board, 700 Club, 10 November 2005]
- There will never be world peace until God's house and God's people
are given their rightful place of leadership at the top of the world.
How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists,
atheists, New Age worshippers of Satan,
secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy moneychangers,
revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top? [The New World Order, 1991]
- I think George Bush is going to win in a walk. I really believe I'm
hearing from the Lord it's going to be like a blowout election in 2004.
It's shaping up that way. The Lord has just blessed him [G. W. Bush]. I
mean, he could make terrible mistakes and come out of it. It doesn't
make any difference what he does, good or bad, God picks him up because
he's a man of prayer and God's blessing him. [700 Club, 02 January 2004]
- Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is
now doing to the evangelical Christians
It's no different. It is the
same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic
Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to
destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst
bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than
anything suffered by any minority in history.
- I think the sky is blue because it's a shift from black through
purple to blue, and it has to do with where the light is. You know, the
farther we get into darkness, and there's a shifting of colour of light
into the blueness, and I think as you go farther and farther away from
the reflected light we have from the sun or the light that's bouncing
off this earth, uh, the darker it gets
I think if you look at the
colour scale, you start at black, move it through purple, move it on
out, it's the shifting of colour. We mentioned before about the stars
singing, and that's one of the effects of the shifting of colours. [700 Club]
- Now, that's [Deuteronomy 17:2-5] what Moses said to the children of
Israel about those who worship the sun and the moon and the hosts of
heaven, because these things, at best, are lifeless nothings, or, if
they are intelligent, they're demonic. And, yes, there is a host of
heaven. There are angelsand there are fallen angels.
There is no question about it. Can a demon appear as a slanty-eyed,
funny-looking creature? Of course he can, or it can. Of course they can
deceive people. And if they can lead somebody away from the true God, or
away from Jesus Christ, anyway it happens, it doesn't matter, you will
lose your salvation. It doesn't matter how they get you. The question
is, did they get you, and under what guise? [conflating "worship" with
"belief in" and effectively claiming anyone who believes in aliens
should be stoned to death, 700 Club, 08 July 1997]
- I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks
we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead
and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war, and I don't
think any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific danger,
and this is in our sphere of influence, so we can't let this happen. We
have the Monroe Doctrine, and we have other doctrines that we have
announced, and without question, this is a dangerous enemy to our south,
controlling a huge pool of oil that could hurt us very badly. We have
the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we
exercise that ability. We don't need another 200-billion-dollar war to
get rid of one strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some
of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.
[speaking of murdering democratically elected Venezuelan President Hugo
Chávez, and expressing concerns about losing oil imports, 700 Club, 22 August 2005]
- The wars of extermination have given a lot of people trouble unless
they know what was going on. The people in the land of Palestine were
very wicked. They were given over to idolatry; they sacrificed their
children; they had all kinds of abominable sex practices; they were
having sex, apparently, with animals; they were having sex men with men,
and women with women; they were committing adultery, fornication; they
were worshipping idols, offering their children up; and they were
forsaking God. God told the Israelites to kill them all men, women and
children, to destroy them. And that seems to be a terrible thing to do.
Is it? Or isn't it? Well, let us assume there were 2,000 of them, or
10,000 of them living in the land, or whatever number there was of them.
I don't have the exact number. Pick a number. God said, 'Kill them
all.' Well, that would seem hard, wouldn't it? That would be 10,000
people who would probably go to Hell. But, if they stayed and
reproduced, in 30 or 40 or 50 or 60 or 100 more years, they could
conceivably be 10,000 would go to a 100,000 100,000 could
conceivably go to a million. And then, there would be a million people
who would have to spend eternity in Hell! And it's far more merciful to
take away a few than to see in the future a 100 years down the road, and
say, 'Well, I have to take away a million people that would forever be
apart from God,' because the abomination was there like a contagium. God
saw that there was no cure for it. It wasn't going to change; their
hearts weren't going to change; and all they would do is cause trouble
for the Israelites, and pull the Israelites away from God, and prevent
the truth of God from reaching the Earth. So, God, in love, took away a
small number that he might not have to take away a large number. [700 Club, 06 May 1985]
Riordon Roett, Chase Manhatten Bank
- While Chiapas, in our opinion, does not pose a fundamental threat

- When compared with the suppression of anarchy every other question
sinks into insignificance. The anarchist is the enemy of humanity, the
enemy of all mankind, and his is a deeper degree of criminality than any
other. No immigrant is allowed to come to our shores if he is an
anarchist; and no paper published here or abroad should be permitted
circulation in this country if it propagates anarchist opinions.
Ruth
- If you believe in evolution, you believe that disease, suffering,
and death existed before Adam's sin, thus negating the whole framework
of redemption. Furthermore, you make God a liar when giving the Ten
Commandments and you make Jesus, Paul, and Peter either liars or deluded
since they all clearly refer to the Genesis accounts of creation and
the Flood, as written, as history. [on-line response to an article in Christianity Today, 15 March 2007]
Fadhel Al-Sa'd, Iraqi 'astronomer'
- So far, no doctor has succeeded in understanding how the eye works. [Al-Fayhaa TV, 31 October 2007]
- The sun began to disappear slowly behind the moon [during a 1999
solar ecplise]. This is because the moon is half the size of the sun.
The moon's diameter is 1,200,000 km, while that of the sun is 2,400,000
km.
The sun circles the Earth because it is smaller than the Earth, as
is evident in Koranic verses.
What I say is based on Koranic science (sic).
He ['Aboud Al-Taei, an Iraqi physicist] bases his arguments on the kind
of science that I reject categorically the modern science that they
teach in schools. This science is a heretic innovation that has no
confirmation in the Koran. No verse in the Koran indicates that the
Earth is round or that it rotates. Anything that has no indication in
the Koran is false. [Al-Fayhaa TV, 31 October 2007]

to be involved in.
Certainly it [homosexuality] is a practice that in
terms of health, in terms of the moral issues that comes along in a
society it is. It is not acceptable. [03 January 2006]

Rick Santorum, Pennysylvania - D
- If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual gay
sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the
right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to
adultery. You have the right to anything. All of those things are
antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family and that's sort of
where we are in today's world, unfortunately. It all comes from, I
would argue, the right to privacy that doesn't exist, in my opinion, in
the United States Constitution. [22 April 2003]

Antonin Scalia, Chief Justice
- You're talking about whether the religious viewpoint should have a
role in the legislative and political process. Of course it should. It
always has in this country. [January 2002]
- [Government] derives its moral authority from God
to execute
wrath, including even wrath by the sword, which is unmistakably a
reference to the death penalty.
Indeed, it seems to me that the more
Christian a country is, the less likely it is to regard the death
penalty as immoral. Abolition has taken its firmest hold in
post-Christian Europe and has least support in the church-going United
States. I attribute that to the fact that for the believing Christian,
death is no big deal. [January 2002]
David Scarpa
- A big part of the way that I originally conceived Helen, and
conceived the whole movie in a sense, is that basically she's a secular

- It [chess!] is not permissible, because it is a means for Lahv
[debauchery] and gambling. Many traditions have been reported from the
Holy Prophet and the Imams that prohibit playing chess. Moreover, when
we do not know the reason behind the forbiddenness of an act, we are
bound to obey in absolute obedience. There is a reason for it, but we do
not know it and when we do not know it, it does not mean that we should
not abide by it.

Society For The Practical Establishment And Perpetuation Of The Ten Commandments
- Hatred for homosexuality is right and good!
- As you know, atheists and other non believers claim women are equal
to men. However, when we turn to the Bible, we find that the Creator of
all mankind says females are the weaker gender. Heathen reasoning
erroneously concludes that the principle of inequality of women is
injustice to women. However it is not injustice, but great wisdom.
- Dogs and all carrion consumers aptly typify atheists and all non
believers in God. They are the carrion lovers of the world. The unclean
is clean to them. They are not repelled by any of the moral carrion in
the world. They are the dogs, buzzards, possums and maggots of the
world. They cannot smell the foul stench of pornography, homosexuality,
paedophilia, bestiality, abortion or sin of any type, but feel it is
their right to practice such.
- The best way to understand the nature of atheism is to understand its author. Satan
is its author.
Thus atheism is properly defined as a denial of the
existence of God in the midst of full knowledge that God does indeed
exist.
Atheism is the ultimate of satanism.
Atheism is therefore a
doctrine of demons, and in many, if not all cases, atheists are
demon-possessed. So it is quite possible that when you heard atheists
speaking, all you heard was demons ranting against God.
- Atheists don't understand that worship of Satan is not contingent upon a realization or acknowledgment of Satan's existence. A denial of Satan
does not nullify his true existence. And a denial of worship of him
does not release a people from being slaves to him. One fundamental
principle of creation is that every person of mankind must either
worship God or worship Satan
(Matthew 6:24). We sometimes refer to this as the "either or"
principle. It is exemplified in other areas of life. Another example:
all humans must be either males or females. There's no way out of it.
- The terrible influence of the crime of homosexuality also extends
itself in the societies by homosexuals being allowed to function in the
societies, by them becoming prominent members of communities, and
becoming leaders and serving in various positions of government. In this
way, homosexuals seek to remove all rightful stigmatization of
homosexuality from the societies by making laws in favor of
homosexuality. Again, this is equivalent to murderers going unpunished
and being allowed to function in the societies as prominent leaders of
the societies and being allowed to serve in government to make laws in
favor of murder.
- Thus we see that God requires death for homosexuality just as he
requires death for murder. This tells us that homosexuality is at least
equal to the heinousness of murder. All homosexuals should be regarded
by every society to be just as much criminals as are cold-blooded
murderers. Although homosexuality is at least as heinous as the crime of
murder, it can be and is often more heinous than murder. When a person
commits the crime of murder, he may not murder but one person and may
never commit the crime again. Or even if he murders 10 or a 100 people,
at some point his murders stop. But homosexuals often remain such their
entire lives and they may commit the act hundreds of time. They may also
spread the AIDs virus to many innocent people who may die from the
AIDs.
- Lets recount the demonic steps that led to the birth of atheism:
First came the measly and totally depraved demon's deceptive efforts to
exalt himself to the level of the Almighty God and his deceptive efforts
to debase God to the level of a depraved creature. Second came his
deceptive efforts to judge God's actions by the demon's own depravity or
by the law God made for human or angels. Third came the demon's
deceived conclusion that God is unjust or wrong in what He does. Fourth
came his deceptive effort to impose the sentence of annihilation upon
God's existence. And fifth came the deceptive denial of the existence of
God as a substitute for an impossible annihilation of God. As you can
see, each step from beginning to end during the birth of atheism was
pure deception on the part of one who knows the truth. This proves that
atheism is pure deception.
- Take for example the constitution's satanic ability to create the
abominable and death-worthy crime of homosexuality (Leviticus 20:13).
The diabolical process by which it accomplishes homosexuality and the
foolish tolerance thereto is highly involved and varied. So, a very
simplified explanation of the workings of the basic principle must
suffice here. The constitution, particularly the first amendment, in
essence states that male citizens have the so-called "right" and
"freedom" to think, speak and act in ways opposite to their God-given
and thus rightful role as males; and female have the so-called "right"
and "freedom" to think, speak and act in ways opposite to their
God-given and thus rightful role as females. In no way does the
constitution encourage faithfulness to your rightful gender, but
strongly discourages it by virtue of its most poisonous concepts of
"rights" and "freedoms."

- Nevertheless, Wicca remains enchanting to adolescents. The occult,

out-of-the-closet things like Ouija boards intrigue the teenage mind.

- Part of its popularity is its adaptability: with no dogmatic
demands or stone-carved commandments, it fits almost any cultural
situation. Gene Chambers, owner of an 'alternative spirituality' store,
stated in an interview with the Boston Globe, "People are
seeking less formal spirituality without the tenets and without the
dogmas of organized religion.
The uniqueness of being a pagan is the
ability to incorporate other ideologies in your belief system." The
witch who works in a beauty salon can use her herbal spells to improve
the shine of her clients' hair, while the warlock who sells his
self-made computers on the Web can perform his rites as he waits for his
programs to download. It works just as well for the chainsaw-murderer
as for the philanthropist. [The Witch Next Door, 22 April 2006]

I have decided to take advantage of my presence on United
States soil on Friday, March 3, 2006 to take the lives of as many
Americans and American sympathizers as I can in order to punish the
United States for their immoral actions around the world. In the Qur'an,
Allah states that the believing men and women have permission to murder
anyone responsible for the killing of other believing men and women. I
know that the Qur'an is a legitimate and authoritative holy scripture
since it is completely validated by modern science and also
mathematically encoded with the number 19 beyond human ability.
I have
chosen the particular location on the University campus as my target
since I know there is a high likelihood that I will kill several people
before being killed myself or jailed and sent to prison if Allah wills.
Allah's commandments are never to be questioned and all of Allah's
commandments must be obeyed. Those who violate Allah's commandments and
purposefully follow human fabrication and falsehood as their religion
will burn in fire for eternity in accordance with Allah's will. [letter

- Ah! The broad magnificence of that scene! How shall I laugh and be
glad and exult when I see these wise philosophers, who teach that the
gods are indifferent and men soulless, roasting and browning before

- After Jesus Christ we have no need of speculation, after the Gospel
no need of research. When we come to believe, we have no desire to
believe anything else; for we begin by believing that there is nothing
else which we have to believe.
- I maintain that the Son of God was born; why am I not ashamed of
maintaining such a thing? Why! but because it is itself a shameful
thing. I maintain that the Son of God died; well, that is wholly
credible because it is monstrously absurd. I maintain that after having
been buried, he rose again: and that I take to be absolutely true,
because it was manifestly impossible.
- And do you not know that you are an Eve? The sentence of God on
this sex of yours lives in this age: the guilt must of necessity live
too. You are the devil's gateway: you are the unsealer of that tree: you are the first deserter of the divine law: you are she who persuaded him whom the devil was not valiant enough to attack. You destroyed so easily God's image, man. On account of your desert that is, death even the Son of God had to die. [De Cultu Feminarum]
- The devil, whose business is to pervert the truth, mimics the exact
circumstances of the Divine Sacrements. He baptises his believers and
promises forgiveness of sins from the Sacred Fount, and thereby
initiates them into the religion of Mithras.
Thus he celebrates the oblation of bread, and brings in the symbol of
resurrection. Let us therefore acknowledge the craftiness of the devil,
who copies certain things of those that be divine.

this disaster [Indonesian tsunami, 26 December 2004] to happen in order
to punish human beings for their sins and for not believing in His Son
Jesus that will come back soon to judge us all according to our deeds.
So I believe that we have to give these events the proper attention to
avoid them happening again. [BBC News Magazine, 03 January 2005]
Farman Ulla
-
even before you blow yourself up the virgins come to the site of
the explosion and wait for you to take you to paradise.
My trainer
never told me the numbers of virgins, he only said that there are some
in the next life and paradise was green and wet, But even one finger of
the houri is more beautiful than any earthly woman. [Daily Mail, 19 December 2008]
Calpih Umar
- If these writings of the Greeks agree with the book of God, they
are useless and need not be preserved; if they disagree, they are
pernicious and ought to be destroyed. [after the conquest of Alexandria
(the books were then used to heat bath-houses in the city and there were
so many it took 6 months to go through them all), 641]
Universal Church Of The Kingdom Of God
- Constant headaches, depression, insomnia, fears, bad luck, strange
diseases
these are just a few symptoms caused by demons. [advertising
poster, 1997]
Abu Usamah, Green Lane Mosque, Birmingham
- Muslims shouldn't be satisfied with living in other than the total Islamic state. [Dispatches, Channel 4, 15 January 2007]
- We want our Islam and the laws of our Islam to be practised, and we want to do away with the man-made laws. [Dispatches, Channel 4, 15 January 2007]
- I don't believe them because they are kuffaar, and lying is part of
their religion.
You can't believe them. These are pathological liars.
[Dispatches, Channel 4, 15 January 2007]
- Allah has not given those people who are kuffaar a way over the
believer. They shouldn't be in authority over us. Muslims shouldn't be
satisfied with living in anything other than a total Islamic state. [Dispatches, Channel 4, 15 January 2007]
- No one loves the kuffaar, not a single person here from the Muslims
loves the kuffaar, whether those kuffaar are from the UK or from the
US. We love the people of Islam and we hate the people of kufr, we hate
the kuffaar. [Dispatches, Channel 4, 15 January 2007]
- Allah has created the woman even if she gets a PhD deficient.
Her intellect is incomplete, deficient. She may be suffering from
hormones that will make her emotional. It takes two witnesses of a woman
to equal the one witness of the man. [Dispatches, Channel 4, 15 January 2007]
- I encourage all of you to be from among them, to begin to cultivate
ourselves for the time that is fast approaching where the tables are
going to turn and the Muslims are going to be in the position of being
uppermost in strength. And when that happens, people won't get killed
unjustly. [Dispatches, Channel 4, 15 January 2007]
Abu Uzair
- I would never go to the police because I believe that spying on
Muslims is never allowed. I am a British citizen but I am a Muslim
first, a Muslim second and a Muslim last. Even if I am British, I don't
follow the values of the UK
I follow the values of Islam. [Newsnight, 02 August 2005]
Abdoulaye Wade, President, Senegal
- I don't think freedom of expression should mean freedom from blasphemy. There can be no freedom without limits. [March 2008]
Fazi Wahab, Head Of The Supreme Court
- The Taliban chopped off people's hands without proper evidence and
beat people in the street for no reason. The hands should be cut off
only if the thief confesses to the crime. People can be executed, but
not in the street or the bazaar. Only in secret places, where onlookers
cannot see. [explaining the 'new' Afghan laws based on sharia rather
than the old Taliban laws, based on sharia, 27 December 2001]
Alexander Walker
- It is an inadmissible assault on personal decency. And on society itself. [slightly over-reacting to the film Fight Club, 2000]
Paul Warburg
- We will have a world government whether you like it or not. The
only question is whether that government will be achieved by conquest or
consent. [testifying before the U.S. Senate, 17 February 1950]
Watchtower
- The poisons that produce the impulse to commit suicide, murder, or
steal are in the blood. Moral insanity, sexual perversions, repression,
inferiority complexes, petty crimes these often follow in the wake of
blood transfusion. [15 September 1961]
Jon Watkins, Baptist Activist
- Satan
is up to his old tricks again and the main focus is the children of the
world. The whole purpose of these books is to desensitise readers and
introduce them to the occult. [speaking of Harry Potter, 14 November 2001]
James Watt, U.S. Secretary Of The Interior
- We don't have to protect the environment, the Second Coming is at hand.
- My responsibility is to follow the Scriptures which call upon us to occupy the land until Jesus returns. [The Washington Post, 24 May 1981]
John Wayne
- I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from
them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the
Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.
Lt. Colonel Gerald Wellman
- We don't necessarily discriminate; we just exclude certain types of people. [describing the military ban on gays]
John Wesley
- Whatever the natural cause, sin is the true cause of all earthquakes.
- Wife: Be content to be insignificant. What loss would it be to God or man had you never been born? [letter to his wife]
- Before Adam's sin none of these attempted to devour or in any wise hurt one another; the spider was as harmless as the fly!
- I cannot give up to all the deists in Great Britain the existence
of witchcraft till I give up the credit of all history, sacred and
profane. [Journal, 22 May 1770]
- If there be any mistakes in the Bible, there may as well be a
thousand. If there be one falsehood in that book it did not come from
the God of truth.
- With my latest breath will I bear my testimony against giving up to
infidels one great proof of the invisible world; I mean that of
witchcraft and apparitions, confirmed by the testimony of all ages. [Works, vol V]
- When old Dr. A--- R--- was asked what her disorder was, he answered
'It is what formerly they would have called being bewitched.' And why
should they not call it so now? Because the infidels have hooted
witchcraft out of the world; and the complaisant Christians, in large
numbers, have joined them in the cry. I do not so much wonder at this
that so many of these herein talk like infidels. But I have sometimes
been inclined to wonder at the pert, saucy, indecent manner wherein some
of those trample on men far wiser than themselves; at their speaking so
dogmatically against what not only the whole world, heathen and
Christian, believed in ages past, but thousands, learned as well as
unlearned, firmly believe at this day. [Journal, 26 June 1770]
Dr. Monty White
- People believe in evolution because they choose to do so. There is
not a shred of real evidence for the evolution of life on earth.
Evolution is not compatible with Christianity. Genesis tells us that
death only came into the world because of Adam's sin. There was no death
before then, and you can't have evolution without death. [BBC web news, March 2005]
General William Westmoreland
- Without censorship, things can get terribly confused in the public mind.
Unni Wikan
- Norwegian women must take their share of responsibility for these
rapes
Norwegian women must realize that we live in a Multicultural
society and adapt themselves to it. [2001]
Clayton Williams, Gubernatorial Candidate
- Rape is like bad weather; when you realise there's nothing you can do about it, you might as well just lay back and enjoy it.
Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
- We know where the roots of poverty lie in the refusal to accept
the meaning that God gives the world, a refusal which shows itself not
only in atheism but also in the anxious and greedy spirit that cannot
see the human context of economic activity. [18 May 2005]
Tom Willis
- I'm sure your readers will love this, but I don't know [whether the
earth orbits the sun or the sun orbits the earth]. Every physicist
who's looked at it seriously has realised that we don't know for sure. [ New Scientist, 22 April 2000]
Senator Bob Wilson, California-R
- But if you can't rape your wife, who can you rape? [1979]
Steve Winter
- Anyone who is not a true Christian, is by default, Satanic.
Joseph Wise
- The more the government cuts God, the more problems this country is
going to have. God won't help a country that is so ashamed of him that
they are taking him from every building and every place his name is
written.
The atheists of this world and the Satanists are taking all
the power in this country, it seems, and God's people are being made to
suffer. With the help of God, we can take this country back and lead the
people to God. [letter to Tricities.com, 22 November 2005]
Zakariya Wright
- But Muhammad is for Muslims the beloved of God and the creation,
and there is no seemingly insignificant characteristic of his unworthy
of emulation. His example is what guides and facilitates our life in
this world. His is a light that is not gone from the world, but has been
passed on, generation after generation. [Voice Of Moderate Islam]
Malcolm X (Malcolm Little)
- The death of over 120 white people is a very beautiful thing. [reacting to the news of a plane-crash, 03 June 1962]
Hussein Ya'qub
- If the whole world approves of something, but Islam condemns it,
that settles it. Are music and song forbidden? Yes they are according
to both the book and Sunna. The matter is settled.
Faisal al Yafai
- It's been two years since I ran down the street from my flat in
Damascus to see the Danish and Norwegian embassies burning, because of a
cartoon published two thousand miles away. Now Danish newspapers have
reprinted the same cartoons, of the Muslim prophet Muhammed with a bomb
on his head, despite the controversy and lives that were lost because of
it. [The Guardian, 14 February 2008]
Sheik Khalid Yasin
- The Koran gives a very clear position regarding homosexuality,
lesbianism and bestiality that these are aberrations, they are
immoralities and if they are tried, convicted, they are punishable by
death.
- And how can you put a sacred trust in the hands of a non-Muslim?
There's no such thing as a Muslim having a non-Muslim friend. If you
prefer the clothing of the kafirs over the clothing of the Muslims, most
of those names that's on most of those clothings is faggots,
homosexuals and lesbians.
- An AIDS virus, that is a classic disease that was created in Fort
McKinley, United States. Fort McKinley, the AIDS virus, 63,000 gallons.
Missionaries from the World Health Organisation and Christian groups
went into Africa and inoculated people for diphtheria, malaria, yellow
fever and they put in the medicine the AIDS virus. [Jihad Or Terrorism]
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef
-
because they have no God. [explaining why so many (mostly black) people died during the storms, Channel 10 TV, Israel, 07 September 2005]
- It was God's retribution. God does not shortchange anyone.
- He [G.W. Bush] perpetrated the expulsion. Now
everyone is mad at him. This [hurricane Katrina] is his punishment for
what he did to Gush Katif, and everyone else who did as he told them,
their time will come, too. [Channel 10 TV, Israel, 07 September 2005]
Brigham Young
- Shall I tell you the law of God in relation to the African race? If
the white man whose blood belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood
with the seed of Cain, the penalty under the law of God, is death on the
spot. This will always be so. [Journal Of Discourses, 10:110]
Ken Young
- Newborn babies sin non-verbally.
- I believe that all bosses and employers should be able to fire a
homosexual for being gay. However, I also believe they should be able to
fire people for the colour of their skin.
Mohammed Yusuf, leader of Nigerian 'taliban'
- There are prominent Islamic preachers who have seen and understood
that the present Western-style education is mixed with issues that run
contrary to our beliefs in Islam. Like rain. We believe it is a creation
of God rather than an evaporation caused by the sun that condenses and
becomes rain. Like saying the world is a sphere. If it runs contrary to
the teachings of Allah, we reject it. We also reject the theory of
Darwinism.
Judge Ahamat Ullha Zarif
- There will be some changes from the time of the Taliban. For
example, the Taliban used to hang the victim's body in public for four
days. We will only hang the body for a short time, say fifteen minutes.
The stadium is for sports. We will find a new place for public
executions.
[adulterers would still be stoned to death] but we will
use only small stones. If they are able to run away, they are free.
Those who refuse to confess their wrongdoing and are condemned by a
judge will have their hands and feet bound so that they cannot run away.
They will certainly be stoned to death. [explaining the
'non-fundamentalist' laws for the 'new' Afghanistan, 27 December 2001]
Israr Ullah Zehri, Representative, Baluchistan
- These are centuries-old traditions, and I will continue to defend
them. Only those who indulge in immoral acts should be afraid.
[supporting the murder of five women who dared to want to marry men of
their own choosing, AP, 29 August 2008]
