Her Majesty's government is engaging not merely in Orwellian Newspeak but in self-defeating Orwellian Newspeak. The broader message it sends is that ours is a weak culture so unconfident and insecure that if you bomb us and kill us our first urge is to find a way to flatter and apologize to you. ↗

Kebaikan itu semuanya terhimpun dalam 4 perkara : percakapan, diam, pandangan dan gerak." Tiap-tiap percakapan yang tidak disertai dengan mengingati Allah adalah sia-sia. Tiap-tiap diam yang tidak disertai dengan mengingati Allah adalah leka. Tiap-tiap pandangan yang tidak disertai dengan pengambilan iktibar adalah lalai. Tiap-tiap gerak yang tidak disertai dengan penghambaan adalah kosong. ↗

Saudi Arabia was, until just a few years ago, probably one of the most safe countries on earth. And now the paper is daily full of activities and shootouts between Islamists who supported Osama bin Laden and the government there. ↗

I think that rather than condemning Islam, Islam needs to be studied by those who are sincere. ↗

It's a mistake to assume that Islamists always come from the slums. Indeed, many come from affluent families but for some reason just couldn't manage to integrate into Western society, even though they had good opportunities for advancement. ↗
