“It is one of the saddest spectacles of our time to see a great democratic movement support a policy which must lead to the destruction of democracy and which meanwhile can benefit only a minority of the masses who support it. Yet it is this support from the Left of the tendencies toward monopoly which make them so irresistible and the prospects of the future so dark.”
― Friedrich August von Hayek, The Road to Serfdom

“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
