“Identity politics is killings free speech on campus, silencing Muslim women struggle, boosting both Islamism and the far Right and pushing reconciled Muslim voices to the fringes. It makes implicit assumptions about Islam - from an Islamist, Left or Right- perspective - and insists all Muslims must adhere to that definition or be regarded not truly Muslim. It ignores the fact that most ordinary Muslims are not in favour of a violent and that in surveys and polls they support British values more than the general UK population. Yet the myth persists that the ideology of Islamism is the true expression of what it means to be Muslim.”

“Radical and violent manifestations of Islamist ideology, which sometimes appear to threaten Pakistan’s stability, are in some ways a state project gone wrong.”

“((والشيخ والشيخة إذا زنيا فارجموهما البتة))
{{Thus the old man and the old woman if they conducted fornication absolutely stoning them}} this verse is not the a Quranic verse or neither was in Quran, but till now some Muslims are practicing this verse by stoning people as they claim which it is a reproducer { المنسوخ} of Quran, any verse of Quran must contain on brightness letters means at least the brightness letters must be three fourths ¾ not less, that is why the God used some letters in the beginning of some Swras as the miracle of Quran and used them as an oath as well as sacred of Quran, if we analyze this verse into letters we can find as follows: brightness letters in this verse are {{ ا ل ي ا ل ا ا ن ي ا ا ر ه م ا ا ل }} the darkness letters are
{{ و ش خ ش و ز خ ذ ة ف ج ة ب ت }} they are 17 brightness letters and 14 darkness letters the three fourths ¾ should be 22 letters, any verse of Quran must not be less than three fourths of brightness letters. This is the prove of this verse is not a Quranic verse clarified by Kamaran Ihsan Salih on 16/07/2017”

“The past glories of Islamic civilization show that it was once able
to progress. That progress was based upon a different set of ideas,
antithetical to those of the Islamists, who would have been considered
heretical then.”

“The transmogrification of Islam into Islamism is bad news not only for the West but also for the majority of Muslims who have no desire to live in totalitarian theocracies. “For the West it is but a physical threat in the form of terrorism,�� said Pakistani journalist Ayaz Amir. “For the world of Islam . . . to be trapped in bin Ladenism is to travel back in time to the dark ages of Muslim obscurantism. It means to be stuck in the mire which has held the Islamic world back.”

“Islamists also pushed back on Ayub’s efforts at controlling what he saw as the ‘menace of over-population�� through a comprehensive family planning programme. ‘I cannot believe that any religion can object to population control��, Ayub declared, adding that ‘no good religion can object to anything aimed at the betterment of human lot, because all religions, after all, come for the good of the human race and human beings do not come into the world for the religions.��75 But once Ayub’s hold over power was weakened, mullahs railed against family planning and birth control as conspiracies of unbelievers aimed at keeping down the number of Muslims.”

“Even the most modern and westernized leaders, ranging from Harvard-educated Benazir Bhutto to self-professed Ataturk fan Pervez Musharraf, have failed to stop Pakistan from descending farther into an Islamist quagmire.”

“If Beirut was the supermarket of the left in the 1970s, where Marxists, communists, Egyptians, Iraqis, and all the Palestinian factions debated and theorized, published and drank in bars arguing over ideas and the fought in the streets, Peshawar was the supermarket of the Islamists in the 1980s without drinking: there the discussions were about Islamic law, fatwas, the war of the believers, the unity of the Muslim nation, and the humanitarian needs of Afghan refugees.”

“Although our countries have been changed by the hegemonizing influences of both Iran and Saudi Arabia, the headlines in the Western media have always reduced matters of extraordinary depth and complexity to a mere snapshot, which more often than not has catered to an orientalist audience that regards Arab or Muslim cultures as backward and to security-focused policymakers. Over time those two groups have worked to reinforce each other, merging to such an extent that everything was viewed through the prism of the security of the West, especially after 9/11.”
