Daayiee Abdullah Quotes

• I'm not one who learned the Koran through recitation as a child, but one thing that always stands out is that there's no compulsion in religion. You can't tell people how to believe. It is an individual's relationship with their creator, and human beings should not be in the business of trying to tell others how they should live their lives.

• Una de las cuestiones que creo que es muy importante es que en muchas comunidades de color existe un estigma sobre la salud mental. Nos encontramos con que la vergüenza que viene de reconocer que uno puede tener algunos problemas que pueden estar relacionados con la salud mental, a menudo la gente no está dispuesta a ir y buscar ayuda adicional debido a que la vergüenza o el estigma cultural que se asocia con ella. Y creo que tenemos que cambiar la forma en que la gente aborda la salud mental.

• I think that, generally, when it's a white male shooting, then it's mental illness is the first thing that they utilize after reporting the crime. But in this instance, a Muslim, it's always terrorism. So it's always a direct attack towards Muslims, who are American citizens, and as well as other individuals who are here who believe in their faith. And we find that we are now in a position again of trying to protect ourselves, and, again, in some instances, causing people to become more sequestered in their day-to-day lives.

• I think one of the issues quite often, from a mental health perspective, that people find power behind a gun. Frequently, that is the issue behind most people. They feel a loss of power. They use a gun to sort of equalize things. And, of course, once the process begins, quite often people die in that process.

• I'm growing up in Detroit, Michigan, both of my parents were gun owners, and that they taught us how to safely and carefully utilize them, because we had businesses, and they showed us out of a sense of protection. But that was something that was used to never use a gun unless you intend - never play with a gun unless you use it to intend - intend to use it. But it was for protection only.
