## Quotes

* Our battle with our enemy is great...this is a battle between Islam and unbelief on this land. In this battle, the crusaders united with the World Zionism.'Mr. Bush. These decisions and statements will only lead you to the garbage can of history.' April 2004
* ...But they accuse us of being terrorists. Terrorists, because when the Palestinian mother welcomes her martyred son, she wishes to receive him as a corpse. She does not want him to be alive.... The wish of the Palestinian mother is to see the body of her son the martyr...
** Preaching Poison (March 2004)
* Al-Mu'tasem used his army and sent a letter to the Byzantine king. You all know what the letter said. He wrote, demonstrating the power of Islam, "From the Head of the Believers, Al-Mu'tasem, to the Byzantine dog." This is how Al-Mu'tasem wrote, "to the Byzantine dog." Why is there no leader, why is there no ruler, why is none man enough to send such a message to the American dog, to the Byzantine dog of our days, to the oppressor dog, or to one of the dogs of the world? Why is there no ruler who will send a letter and enter history, "To the Byzantine dog, you son of a bitch, I have brought an enormous army upon you, that starts there and ends here."...In light of these massacres, I declare from here: Sharon, Mofaz, Ya'alon, you are sentenced to death.
** May 21st Friday Sermon in Gaza by Sheikh Ibrahim Mudeiris: '…You son of a bitch, I have brought an enormous army upon you...' (May 2004)
* If we agree to return to the 1967 borders, we relinquish the Land of Palestine....We may be able to return to the 1967 borders through politics, but to the 1948 borders, we will never return through politics. As for the 1948 borders – no-one in the world recognizes our right to them....Because all the international laws deny the Palestinians their true borders. We may accept the [1967 borders], but the blood of our forefathers calls upon us to return to [the 1948 borders].

# Ibn al-Anbari

## Quotes

* A Muslim is a person who has dedicated his worship exclusively to God, for just as we say in Arabic that something is ‘salima’ to a person, meaning that it became solely his own, so in the same way ‘Islām’ means making one's religion and faith God's alone.
** In Al-Fakhr al-Rāzī's Commentary on the Qur'an, I, p. 432, Cairo, 1318/1900. As quoted in Abdel Haleem Mahmud, The Creed of Islam (1978), p. 13.

* In the year 159 (AD 776) Al Mahdî sent an army by sea under ‘Abdul Malik bin Shahãbu’l Musamma’î to India… They proceeded on their way and at length disembarked at Barada. When they reached the place they laid siege to it… The town was reduced to extremities, and God prevailed over it in the same year. The people were forbidden to worship the Budd, which the Muhammadans burned.

* So he prayed to the Almighty for aid, and left Ghaznî on the 10th of Sha’bãn AH 414… with 30,000 horse besides volunteers, and took the road to Multãn. After he had crossed the desert he perceived on one side a fort full of people, in which there were wells. People came down to conciliate him, but he invested the place, and God gave him victory… So he brought the place under the sway of Islãm, killed the inhabitants, and broke in pieces their images…

* The chief of Anhilwãra called Bhîm, fled hastily… Yamînu-d daula again started for Somnãt, and on his march he came to several forts in which were many images serving as chamberlains or heralds of Somnãt, and accordingly he (Mahmûd) called them Shaitãn. He killed the people who were in these places, destroyed the fortifications, broke in pieces the idols and continued his march to Somnãt…

* This temple of Somnãt was built upon fifty-six pillars of teak wood covered with lead. The idol itself was in a chamber… Yamînu’d daula seized it, part of it he burnt, and part of it he carried away with him to Ghaznî, where he made it a step at the entrance of the Jãmi‘ masjid…

We do not have "subjects" before us, but people: the accused, alleged victims, possible witnesses... In general, there is always a picture of particular suffering. Certainly, media attention regarding the issues in question has multiplied in recent years, and this is a further stimulus to the Congregation to try to do justice in an ever more correct and effective way.

### Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds (2001)

    All page numbers are from the trade paperback edition published by Sasquatch Books, ISBN 1-57061-419-9 (2004), first printing
* Owls are not like other birds. I suppose one could say this about any avian tribe, but owls are particularly unlike, with layered dimensions of dissimilarity.
** Chapter 2, “An Invasion of Owls” (p. 26)
* In my experience, birds are as fine and appropriate a lens through which to assimilate life as anything else.
** Chapter 3, “The Presence of Birds: A Very New Life List” (p. 43)
* Mayr became a mentor for many promising young men with an interest in birds. He urged them to pick a bird, to follow and study it, to learn the secrets of its breeding life, its winter habits, to take in small details that no one else knew because no one else had ever watched so closely. Mayr argued against a stream of ornithologists who hoped to make the science entirely academic, feeling that serious amateurs could make valuable contributions to the field of ornithology if they watched birds seriously and well.
** Chapter 5, “Cormorant Problem” (p. 60)
* Cormorants are hated. In one popular anti-cormorant treatise, the bird is blamed for its very existence: “A war is being waged between the interests of sport fishermen and a predatory bird that has no local natural enemy. The bird’s sole purpose is to reproduce and eat fish.” Of course, obtaining food and reproducing are two primary goals of any species, including our own.
** Chapter 5, “Cormorant Problem” (p. 74)
* I suppose it might be argued that, for the amateur watcher seeking a meaningful connection with birds, this attention to remote detail is just another form of scientific reductionism, that harried foe of poetry and wonder. In my experience, it is so much the opposite. The tinier the details I come to comprehend, the more bewildered I become, the richer, it seems, the more inspiring of awe, is the biological life I manage to encounter. The minutiae offer a focus that bridges the aesthetic and scientific worlds.
** Chapter 6, “The Birdwatcher’s Book of Secrets” (p. 83)

* I will not bring dishonor on my sacred arms nor will I abandon my comrade wherever I shall be stationed.

### Jesus, the Revelation of God

    in Christ for Us Today: Papers read at the Conference of Modern Churchmen, Somerville College, Oxford, July 1967, edited by Norman Pittenger (SCM Press, London: 1968)
* Men usually remain unmarried for three reasons: either because they cannot afford to marry or there are no girls to marry (neither of these factors need have deterred Jesus); or because it is inexpedient for them to marry in the light of their vocation (we have already ruled this out during the ‘hidden years’ of Jesus’ life); or because they are homosexual in nature, in as much as women hold no special attraction for them. The homosexual explanation is one which me must not ignore.
** p. 109
* All the synoptic gospels show Jesus in close relationship with the ‘outsiders’ and the unloved. Publicans and sinners, prostitutes and criminals are among his acquaintances and companions. If Jesus were homosexual in nature (and this is the true explanation of his celibate state) then this would be further evidence of God’s self-identification with those who are unacceptable to the upholders of ‘The Establishment’ and social conventions.
** p. 110
* Jesus' disclosure shows that in his very nature God is self-effacing, whereas Christian orthodoxy has thought of him as the opposite; majestic, glorious and triumphal.
** p. 111
* Certainly in the gospels Jesus manifested love, but it was very different from what is generally supposed. It included a certain ruthlessness in his care and concern, a willingness to condemn not individuals but classes, a hatred of bigotry and pretence.
** pp. 114-115

* Treat a child as though he already is the person he's capable of becoming.
** Quoted in Gently And Firmly By C.P. Varkey, p. 87
* I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, a child humanized or de-humanized.
** Quoted in Fair isn't always equal: assessing & grading in the differentiated classroom By Rick Wormeli, p. 9
* Teachers are expected to reach unattainable goals with inadequate tools. The miracle is that at times they accomplish this impossible task.

* I try to be respectful of the culture. I try to tell a story and maintain my voice as empowering women, but I tell it softly. I'm not a person who is like a radical or something like that and I don't try to clash with the culture.
