- Honor and respect from God is based on our spiritual state
- Fasting is a method of maintaining the karamah of humans by controlling desires and strengthening the soul
- A person who is provoked, yet restrains anger, has true strength and courage
- With emotions and desires, a person can easily fall into Satan's traps
- Similarly, the suicide bomber in Manchester was someone who was weak hearted, and gave in to misguidance and extremism
- No justifications whatsoever to kill others, regardless of race, religion, activities, etc
- In the name of combatting extremism, President Trump visited Saudi Arabia to patronize the anti-Shi'a alliance forged by the Saudis
- His speech was a prime example of hypocrisy, praising Saudis while being entirely oblivious of the fact that he was praising the main source of violent extremism in the Muslim world
- He criticized Iram, where 41 million citizens just participated in elections, while he stood in Saudi Arabia where citizens have never even seen ballot cards
- 16 years have passed since 9/11, yet America refuses to pressure Saudi Arabia on the issue, instead selling billions in arms to Saudi
- There is less to do with democracy, human rights, or morality, and more to do with dollars, power, politics, and influence

"Trump visited Riyadh to patronize the anti-Shia alliance. His speech is a prime example of hypocrisy and greed. In praising Saudis, he sounded entirely oblivious of the fact that he was praising the source of violence & extremism. The 1st manifestion of violent extremism in contemporary Muslim history was the Taliban movement, who was first recognized by UAE & Saudi Arabia. Al-Qaida grew out of the Taliban. All 9/11 hijackers were Saudi nationals. Violence in Pakistan is a biproduct of Talibani violence. ISIS in Syria & Iraq sprouted from the same ideology of Salafism. One of their 'achievements' is destroying historical sites whenever possible. Yet Trump says we need to fight against those who destroy holy sites. He's talking to the pioneers of this tradition. He's standing there in the den of terrorism."

"Trump, the leader of a democratic Western country, criticizes a Shia majority country where one week ago 41 million people voted in elections, while he's standing in Saudi Arabia, where the citizens have never even seen a ballot card. The irony of this entire trip. 16 years have passed since 9/11, yet USA refuses to take Saudi Arabia to task on many issues. Instead they sell billions in weapons & arms to them. It doesn't come down to democracy, human rights, or morality; it comes down to greed, dollars, & power."
