“Het Marokkaanse volk zal op een dag opstaan – waarschijnlijk binnenkort. Ze zullen de aanwezigheid van Franse en Spaanse troepen op Marokkaanse bodem niet tolereren.

— Emir Abdelkrim al-Khattabi (1957)”
Yassin Akouh, Koloniale vloek: De relaties tussen de Marokkaanse staat en de Rif

“Islam is a practical religion that's woven into the fabric of our daily life. General Miller, this head of interrogations, the interrogators and psychologists all failed to understand the depth and strength of our faith. Yes, we were physically weak, we were beaten, and they would beat us more, but our strength was in our hearts, and our hearts were driven by our faith and trust in Allah. We couldn't be bought with promises of riches.”
Mansoor Adayfi, Don't Forget Us Here: Lost and Found at Guantanamo

“Where do we go in these moments of pain, when the world turns black? We always turned to Allah. I prayed to Allah to guide me, to protect me, to help me stop this madness and hasten my release.”
Mansoor Adayfi, Don't Forget Us Here: Lost and Found at Guantanamo

“After so many years of interrogations, I had learned that praying and reciting the Qur'an completely shut off all my senses so that I didn't hear, I didn't see, I didn't feel anymore. I just existed in the moment but outside the moment. Interrogators could talk for hours. They could do all kinds of horrible humiliating things to me and they did. But it didn't matter anymore.”
Mansoor Adayfi, Don't Forget Us Here: Lost and Found at Guantanamo

“According to our faith, we're all created for a single reason, which is to worship Allah. One way to worship is how you handle hardship and dilemmas in your life. Life on this earth is a test for us, and we should expect anything, even the worst hardships, in our test. At the same time, nothing happens without Allah's permission; nothing moves without Allah's will. If we were at Guantánamo, He had willed it and we would leave when He willed it. But we had free will to choose our path while here.”
Mansoor Adayfi, Don't Forget Us Here: Lost and Found at Guantanamo
