ABSTRACT

We used to think that people who were not with us were truly the enemies of Islam. Even if they were Muslims. We soon became afraid of even our own wives. It’s because we were living in a system where everybody was a suspect. Yet, thank God, compared to the past, we can gather more people (around us) and help them nowadays. If you ask me what has changed in me, I would tell that I have come to realize that words are more powerful than weapons and I never take up a gun anymore … In the past, we used to take action against our enemies with guns; but now and then, we respond to them with ideas, books, conferences, and meetings.
