History is our guide, and without a knowledge of history, we are lost!
The Bush administration does not desire to see Islam practiced in its pristine purity.
Could it be that my circle is largely black and that it is why I am influential in black circles but not in white circles?
I think that ego-driven leaders will be a thing of the past because the masses are tired.
Iran should not be denied the human right to knowledge...the fear of America is Iran's attitude to Israel, and the cornerstone of America's foreign policy is the protection of Israel... If Iran believes in Allah, and if Iran believes in the power of Allah, Iran can't be frightened by America.

We believe that only when you can reconcile with God and get clear with him that he will empower us to unify and change the realities under which we live.
