“I met a scholar in America who said dissent is sacred.”

“When two minds clash, intellectual sparking happens.”

“Call it critical study, not abuse.”

“No Quranic verse or hadith says kill those who insult the Prophet.”

“Open discussion, open criticism is essential.”

“I consider it a blessing when someone criticizes me.”

“Open discussion leads to development.”

“One companion said 'kadhabta' to another over Quran recitation.”

“We should not make any issue sentimental.”

“When a provocative situation comes, be patient.”

“Sabr means giving well-considered response.”

“Without dissent, without criticism, no development.”
