Those who use religion in such a manner have fooled our people; it is against just such people that we have fought and will continue to fight.

If our religion did not conform to reason and logic, it would not be the perfect religion, the final religion.

The reason that Israel has been able to appropriate Palestine unto itself with American aid and support is that Israel controls the explanation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
