Reza Aslan Quotes

• El islam no promueve la violencia ni la paz. El islam es sólo una religión y, como todas las religiones del mundo, depende de lo que aportes a ella. Si eres una persona violenta, tu islam, tu judaísmo, tu cristianismo, tu hinduismo, van a ser violentos.

• Bill Maher is right to condemn religious practices that violate fundamental human rights. Religious communities must do more to counter extremist interpretations of their faith. But failing to recognize that religion is embedded in culture — and making a blanket judgment about the world’s second largest religion — is simply bigotry.

• If you ask a Saudi Imam why women in Saudi Arabia can't drive, he'll say, 'Because Islam demands it.' But that's absurd, because - first of all - Islam demands no such thing; and secondly, the only country in the world in which women can't drive is Saudi Arabia. The inability to understand the difference between a cultural practice and religious belief is shocking among self-described intellectuals.

• Islam is more than a religion, it's much more than a religion, it's a way of life, it is a one party political system that has a very elaborate legal system that can put you to death if you leave it.

• La islamofobia se ha generalizado tanto en este país que los estadounidenses han sido entrenados para esperar violencia contra los musulmanes, no para excusarla, sino para esperarla. Y eso ha sucedido porque en este país existe una industria de la islamofobia dedicada a hacer creer a los estadounidenses que hay un enemigo interior.

• Religion is never going to go away, and anyone who thinks it will doesn't understand what religion is. It is a language to describe the experience of human nature, so for as long as people struggle to describe what it means to be alive, it will be a ready-made language to express those feelings.

• Se necesitaron muchos años para limpiar Arabia de sus "falsos ídolos". Harán falta muchos más para limpiar el islam de sus nuevos falsos ídolos -la intolerancia y el fanatismo-, adorados por quienes han sustituido la visión original de tolerancia y unidad de Muhammad por sus propios ideales de odio y discordia. Pero la limpieza es inevitable, y la marea de la reforma no puede detenerse. La Reforma Islámica ya está aquí. Todos estamos viviendo en ella.

• As with all journeys, the Way has an end, though it should not be imagined as a straight road leading to a fixed destination but rather as a majestic mountain whose peak conceals the presence of God. There are, of course, many paths to the summit-some better than others. But because every path eventually leads to the same destination, which path one takes is irrelevant.

• There's this notion that Republicans are the party of Jesus and the Democrats are the Godless party. Let's be clear for a minute. One party wants to give health insurance to the poor and the weak and the dispossessed, and one party wants to take away that health insurance and give tax breaks to rich people. You tell me: which side would Jesus fall on that argument?

• Occidente está muy preocupado y en realidad tiene miedo porque los medios de comunicación no le informan. Hay demasiados musulmanes moderados que intentan encubrir los temores y preocupaciones de Occidente. Es hora de que afrontemos la realidad: nadie está en contra de los musulmanes. Cuando hablo de esta situación, lo hago de la doctrina islámica. La doctrina islámica promueve la violencia y el odio contra los no musulmanes. El 60% del Corán está dedicado a maldecir y difundir el odio y la violencia contra los no musulmanes, a los que se llama "kafir".

• We have to remember that the United States has certain principles, certain values that bind us all together, that make us all American. And if we allow those values, those rights to be rescinded for one group of individuals, then we are essentially opening the door to having all of our rights, all of our privileges rescinded.

• But perhaps the most important innovation in the doctrine of jihad was its outright prohibition of all but strictly defensive wars. “Fight in the way of God those who fight you,” the Quran says, “but do not begin hostilities; God does not like the aggressor” (2:190). Elsewhere the Quran is more explicit: “Permission to fight is given only to those who have been oppressed ... who have been driven from their homes for saying, 'God is our Lord' ” (22:39; emphasis added).
