Don’t teach your children to be afraid. Then you ask Abdul Malik, you want them to be radicals? You know what a radical is? People label people radicals who challenge them, then, after they are killed they call them heroes; Martin Luther King, Kennedy, Malcom X all radicals. Radical is a person who refuses to accept oppression. Who knows by the inner nature of the spirit in which God has made them, they yearn and have the right to breathe free. Freedom is not the gift of any nation to humanity. Freedom is from Allah subhana wa ta'ala to every creature he has created. ↗

Destructive and irresponsible freedom has been granted boundless space. Society appears to have little defense against the abyss of human decadence, such as, for example, misuse of liberty for moral violence against young people, motion pictures full of pornography, crime and horror. It is considered to be part of freedom and theoretically counter-balanced by the young people's right not to look or not to accept. Life organized legalistically has thus shown its inability to defend itself against the corrosion of evil. ↗

There is no deception on the part of the woman, where a man bewilders himself: if he deludes his own wits, I can certainly acquit the women. Whatever man allows his mind to dwell upon the imprint his imagination has foolishly taken of women, is fanning the flames within himself -- and, since the woman knows nothing about it, she is not to blame. For if a man incites himself to drown, and will not restrain himself, it is not the water's fault. ↗
