"Force and mind are opposites; morality ends
where a gun begins."
- Ayn Rand, John Galt Speech, Atlas
Shrugged.
“It only stands to
reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the
sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being
served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and
masters, and intends to be the master.”
- Ayn Rand,
For the New Intellectual

Ayn Rand
Novelist-Philosopher
1905-1982
"History has seen a period of approximately
ten centuries, known as the Dark and Middle Ages, when philosophy was
regarded as "the handmaiden of theology," and reason as the humble
subordinate of faith. The results speak for themselves."
- Ayn Rand,
The Objectivist
"Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want
and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing
in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of
courage."
- Ayn Rand,
The Fountainhead
"In the name of the best within you, do not
sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values
that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the
ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his
title. Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright
posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do
not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless
swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do
not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life
you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the
nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is
real, it is possible, it's yours."
- Ayn Rand, John Gault Speech, Atlas
Shrugged.

Islamic Commentators - "from the Camel's
Mouth"
- "The ultimate aim of those who
submit to the Shariah is to express their slavehood to their Creator."
- Faraz Rabbani
- "The Democratic system that is
predominant in the world not be a suitable system for the peoples of our
region... The system of free elections is not suitable to our country"
King Fahd of Saudi Arabia
- "Islam isn't in America to be equal
to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim
book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and
Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." - Omar Ahmad of
Council on American-Islamic Relations
- "The life of an unbeliever has no
value, it has no sanctity." - Omar Bakri Muhammad
- "in a decade, you will
see parts of English cities which are controlled by Muslim clerics and
which follow, not the common law, but aspects of Muslim Sharia law.
It is already starting to happen - and unless the Government changes
the way it treats the so-called leaders of the Islamic community, it
will continue." Dr Patrick Sookhdeo
- "The
Islamic Resistance Movement draws its guidelines from Islam; derives
from it its thinking, interpretations and views about existence, life
and humanity; refers back to it for its conduct; and is inspired by it
in whatever step it takes." - Hamas Charter (1988)
- "There
can never be scope for a democratic rule from the Islamic point of
view." Mufti Ebrahim Desai
- "I would like to see the Islamic
flag fly, not only over number 10 Downing Street, but over the whole
world" - Omar Bakri Muhammad
- "Our dear Imam (referring to
Ayatollah Khomeini) said that the occupying regime must be wiped off
the map and this was a very wise statement ."- Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, President of Iran
- "If a country doesn't
allow the propagation of Islam to its inhabitants in a suitable manner
or creates hindrances to this, then the Muslim ruler would be
justifying in waging Jihad against this country."
Mufti Ebrahim Desai
- "It is wrong to say
that Islam teaches us to respect the religious beliefs of non-Muslims.
To respect the beliefs of others means to respect kufr and shirk. This
is totally unacceptable." Mufti Moulana
Imraan Vawda
- "I would like to inform all intrepid
Muslims in the world that the author of the book entitled The
Satanic Verses, which has been compiled, printed, and published in
opposition to Islam, the Prophet, and the Qur’an, as well as those
publishers who were aware of its contents, have been sentenced to
death. I call on all zealous Muslims to execute them quickly, wherever
they find them, so that no one will dare insult the Islamic
sanctities. Whoever is killed on this path will be regarded as a
martyr." - Fatwa issued by Ruhollah Khomeini
- "The ruling to kill the Americans
and their allies – civilians and military – is an individual duty for
every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to
do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque [in Jerusalem] and the
holy mosque [in Mecca] from their grip, and in order for their armies
to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten
any Muslim. This is in accordance with the words of Almighty God, 'and
fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together,' and
'fight them until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there
prevail justice and faith in God.'" - Fatwa issued by Osama bin
Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri

of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that
is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in
the Hereafter"
- 8:12 "I will instill terror into the hearts of the
unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their
fingertips off them"

Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and
His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they
are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya* with
willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
- 47:4 "Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight),

them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands
possess"
- 4:11-12 "Allah (thus) directs you as regards your
Children’s (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of
two females."
4:24 "Also (prohibited are) women already married, except
those whom your right hands possess."
4:34 "Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made
the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of

her husband when she is made up or well dressed. (TR. P 430)
2. A woman is not a believer if she undertakes a journey which may
last three days or longer, unless she is accompanied by her
husband, son, father or brother. (TR. P 431)
3. A woman must veil herself even in the presence of her husband's
father, brother and other male relations. (TR. P 432)

7. If a man is in a mood to have sexual intercourse woman must
come immediately even if she is baking bread at a communal oven.

son to divorce his wife, he must do so. (TR. P 440)
9. Majority of women would go to hell. (Muslim P 1431)
10. If a woman refuses to come to bed when invited by her husband,
she becomes the target of the curses of angels. Exactly the same
happens if she deserts her husband's bed. (Bokhari P 93)

hell; it is an act of ingratitude for a woman to say: "I have
never seen any good from you." (Bokhari P 96)
12. A woman in many ways is deprived of the possession of her own
body. Even her milk belongs to her husband. (Bokhari P 27)
