"Great religions, like great ideas of mankind, came either to give moral support and hope when all else seemed lost, or they appeared when laxity or opulence seemeded to have eroded the most elementary rules of a community's ethical norms."
"Before the establishment of such a state of affairs, it is the extremist, the orthodox who holds the reigns, for in agitation, in revolution which stems from a religious cause, there cannot be be any moderation."
"The vast majority of Muslims per se are not basically trying to recreate an Islamic state in the sense in which it could have existed centuries ago; in fact, the desire is to create a state in which, because of religious precepts, they are given, to some extent, a voice in the affairs of the state."
"It was stressed that Islam did not recognize kings and monarchs, and that Islam had given the world a sense of the true essence of the democratic principles.
- Farooq Hassan
