“Man, in the traditional sense of the term corresponding to insān in Arabic or homo in Greek and not solely the male, is seen in Islam not as a sinful being to whom the message of Heaven is sent to heal the wound of the original sin, but as a being who still carries his primordial nature (al-fitrah) within himself, although he has forgotten that nature now buried deep under layers of negligence.”

― عصام يوسف

“The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them.”

“كلّهم يتحدّثون عن ِالطريق ، يقولون : تجد نفسكَ على الطريق ! وهُم لا يعرفون منَ الطريق إلا لونها الأسود وأرصِفتها !”
