Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 000051696

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 000119742

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 000176989

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 000276852
Poking fun at other people's beliefs, while it may seem frivolous and offensive, is a non-negotiable right. It is a principle that underpins free speech, the basis for progress. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 000278750

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 000344328
There was a genocide unfolding against Bosnian Muslims and we, in the United Kingdom, were incredibly angered - a teenager at the time, 15 years old, so my young teenage mind processed that in a way typical to the very passionate and angry and black-and-white way that teenagers often can do. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 000345000
In today's Britain, the weakest among us are often assumed to be minority communities.

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 000680773

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 000903378

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 000973014
I had the assassins of the former president of Egypt, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood was with me in prison, the leaders of my own former group Hizb ut-Tahrir were with me in prison and so by the time I was released at the age of 28, I wasn't the man who went in at 24. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 000973015

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 000987543

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001021688
I joined a radical group at the age of 16 because I'm a passionate man; the good news is that I turned myself around since then. But my character is still quite free and passionate. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001027620

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001078864

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091251

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091252

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091253
Traditionally, open-minded secular liberal rationalists have not made a case for tolerance. -- Maajid Nawaz

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091257
Within our lifetime, we can remember a time when Islamism wasn't the dominant form of discourse or the aim should be to minimise the absolutists within any religious community and contain them. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091258
But we're also taught that you're not a martyr if you blow yourself up in a marketplace, because you're killing civilians and other Muslims. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091259
What we cannot deny is that there's an association between exclusion, segregation, non-violent extremist thinking, and jihadism. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091260
I believe that preventing radicalisation is far more efficient than de-radicalisation, meaning stopping someone joining is a lot easier than trying to pull someone out once they've joined. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091261
After the Islamic State, even al-Qaeda appears 'moderate'. -- Maajid Nawaz

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091268
The only way that we can win over potential jihadists to liberal democracy is by winning the battle of ideas. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091269
The positive is I'm delighted at the way the Liberal Democrats as a party have supported me and the way in which the work I'm doing, through the Liberal Democrats, has abled to broaden some of the work I work on. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091270

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091276

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091279
The Islamist ideology took decades to incubate within our communities, and it will take decades to debunk. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091280
No idea is above scrutiny. No idea whatsoever. To criticize, to scrutinize and to satirize my own religion [Islam] is not Islamophobia. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091281
If liberalism is to mean anything at all, it is duty bound to support without hesitation the dissenting individual over the group, the heretic over the orthodox, innovation over stagnation, and free speech over offense. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091282
No idea is above scrutiny and no people are beneath dignity. -- Maajid Nawaz

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091284
In an open society, no idea can be above scrutiny, just as no people should be beneath dignity. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091285
The way to tackle Muslimphobia is to tackle prejudice against Muslims. What it is not is to pretend that Islamist extremism does not exist. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091286
Islamism is an ideology that seeks to impose any version of Islam over society. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091287

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091288
Societies should be judged by how they treat the weakest among them. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091289
Hip-hop in the '90s began moving towards the Nation of Islam and the 5 Percenters, black nationalist movements; very much so, these movements embraced a form of Islam: Malcom X's form of Islam prior to his change. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001091290
In Bosnia, the case was there were white, blond-haired, blue-eyed Muslims who were being slaughtered and identified as Muslims. That really touched me. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001205413
Satire is, by definition, offensive. It is meant to make us feel uncomfortable. It is meant to make us scratch our heads, think, do a double-take, and then think again. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001234799
The only way we can challenge Islamism is to engage with one another. We need to make it as abhorrent as racism has become today. Only then will we stem the tide of angry young Muslims who turn to hate. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001255524
'Muslim' is not a political party. 'Muslim' is not a single culture. Muslims go to war with each other. There are more Muslims in India, Russia and China than in most Muslim-majority nations. 'Muslim' is not a homogenous entity. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001362681
For years, Islamists and other extremists have taken advantage of grievances of Muslims in Britain and have successfully identified ways to integrate them under one 'Islamic' banner. -- Maajid Nawaz

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001483333

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001528366
Dogma not only blinds its protagonist, but it muzzles all other opposition. -- Maajid Nawaz

Before someone can change his ideas, he has to open his heart. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001562551

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001571919
No form of theocracy, whether it's manifested in a violent or non-violent form, is ever good for civilisation, and we have to challenge it in civil society as well as we would challenge Christian-based theocracy, or any other form of bigotry. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001605289

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001711492

Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001721182
Having our fundamental assumptions about life challenged is never a comfortable thing. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001728353
Broader social concerns within Muslim communities, such as discrimination, integration or socio-economic disadvantages, should be treated distinctively and not as part of counterterrorism agenda, which has been counter-productive. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001801620
Any item of clothing that covers the face and makes it impossible to identify individuals is open to abuse. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001831943
I'm a Muslim, we come from a Muslim community and we are very critical of western or American foreign policy. So if I've got the right and if other Muslims have got the right to criticize ... likewise everyone else has also got the right to criticize everything else. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001833027
The cheeky ideal I am calling for is that Muslims should be viewed as equal citizens, nothing more and nothing less. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001837020
The conclusion that I have come to is that actually, no religion, whether it's Islam, Christianity or any idea based on scripture or texts, is a religion of 'anything,' really. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001854744
I am everything I am today, because of my past. -- Maajid Nawaz
Maajid Nawaz Quotes : pic 001879000
Once you subscribe to an ideological dogma as a solution to certain grievances, it then frames your mindset. -- Maajid Nawaz
