“Arabs and other Muslims generally agreed that Saddam Hussein might be a bloody tyrant, but, paralleling FDR's thinking, "he is our bloody tyrant." In their view, the invasion was a family affair to be settled within the family and those who intervened in the name of some grand theory of international justice were doing so to protect their own selfish interests and to maintain Arab subordination to the west.”
― Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order

“كنت قبل اليوم أنكر صاحبي.....إذا لم يكن دينه إلى ديني داني
لقد صارقلبي قابلاً كل صورة.....فمرعى لغزلان و دير لرهبان
أدين بدين الحب أنى توجهت.....ركائبه, فالحب ديني وإيماني”
― محيي الدين بن عربي

“عليَّ نحت القوافي من معادنا * وما عليَّ إذا لم تفهم البقر”
― محيي الدين بن عربي

“To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That's what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul - would you understand why that's much harder?”
