This is why I have always said that it would be better if Muslims were poor.

The Prophet defeated the enemies of Islam even when he and his followers were small in number.

Muslims must believe that all power, success and victory comes from God alone.

Look at the Afghans, during the time of the Soviet invasion. They were among the poorest Muslims in the world, yet they were sustained by their faith in God, and God alone.

What honour have we got left, when nobody is listening to us?

Because Islam in its original form was tough and hard, not weak and pliable.

Islam is perfect, there is nothing to be added or changed.

But the leaders of the OIC could not even accept Mahathir's proposal, yet they talk about respect and honour.

So we want an Islamic state where Islamic law is not just in the books but enforced, and enforced with determination. There is no space and no room for democratic consultation. The Shariah is set and fixed, so why do we need to discuss it anymore? Just implement it!

You are right, but the weakness does not come from the millions of Muslims in the world. They do not mind being radical, they have no fear to speak out and to protest and to jihad.

Our Prophet was a radical too- he fought against the injustices of his community and challenged the feudal order of his society, so they called him a radical. So what? We should be proud of that!

If my children do not behave according to Islam, if they do not pray for instance, I will punish them.

Why should we use the Dollar even when we trade among ourselves?

What use is revelation or religion if it doesnt change anything?

This is why I have always said that it would be better if Muslims were poor.

There is not a single Muslim leader today who has the courage and commitment to defend Islam and Muslims, they are all in awe of the United States and other Western powers, and are indebted to them.

Arab leaders worry more about making money from the profits they get from oil and gas that they turn the other way when Lebanon is being destroyed right next to them. Their neighbours are being murdered, but they only make calculations for their own benefit.

As long as Muslims were confident they could not be defeated, but now we are just puppets.

The Muslim leaders swallow the advice of the Western powers and bodies like the IMF and World Bank, even when it is bad for their countries and they know this.

Likewise the leader of any state has to do the same, he has to enforce Shariah firmly, for he will be held in account later in the afterlife if he fails.

The Afghans did not have sophisticated weapons like the Soviets did, but with their faith they defeated a superpower.

Oil wealth has been a curse on us, made us weak and docile.

But the West is trying to weaken Islam from outside and inside. They attack our people and invade our countries from outside, and they weaken us from within with ideas like secularism, liberalism and democracy. This is all designed to contaminate our pure Islam.

Laws are to be enforced justly but firmly, with an iron hand. This is the case anywhere, even in a family.

Islam's laws are fixed and that is why Islam is stable.

We should be proud that our Prophet came into the world with the message of Islam to change it for the better, and not for the worse, or to keep things as they are.

They are scared that the BBC or CNN may call them radicals, so they remain soft instead. The problem lies there, with the Muslim leaders, not the Muslim masses.

Today the Western powers and media want to domesticate us like sheep, to keep us tame and domesticated.

Islam is fixed, stable, ordered and disciplined, and so are Muslims.

But the weakness comes from these Westernised co-opted Muslim leaders who just want to look good in the eyes of the West and Western media.

We have shown that Islam can rule the world perfectly for 14 centuries, and during this time of Muslim power we did not borrow ideas like democracy from others, so why do we need to learn democracy from them now?

The only model to follow is pure Islam.

All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.

But, in the name of the experimental method and out of our poor knowledge, are we really entitled to claim that everything happens by chance, to the exclusion of all other possibilities?

A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.

False shame accompanies a man that is poor, shame that either harms a man greatly or profits him; shame is with poverty, but confidence with wealth.

A person cannot love a plant after he has pruned it, then he has either done a poor job or is devoid of emotion.

Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another.

Men who are scandalized at the lack of freedom in Russia do not ask themselves how real is liberty among the poor, the weak, and the ignorant in capitalist society.

Hope is a flatterer, but the most upright of all parasites; for she frequents the poor man's hut, as well as the palace of his superior.

There's a constant flow of child actors. It's kind of funny to watch the new crew come through. I think, You poor little things. You're going to have to struggle for a long time.

Content makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.

You need massive recruitment to tell the poorest of the poor what is possible.

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.

I think it's time to do clean-up for a generation. I believe this is one of the movies that hits home for all colors and all races. Everybody I talk to, black or white, suburban, rich or poor, can relate to rejection, can relate to not having a father or a mother.

Money is a poor man's credit card.

Success in life comes not from holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well.

No one is rich whose expenditures exceed his means, and no one is poor whose incomings exceed his outgoings.

I think Morse's thing about being a poor policeman but a good detective is a very good description of him.
