Of all nations on the face of earth, My nation is the greatest. This is no behavior of the civilized, It's but a sign of the stupidest.

You can either be a nationalist or you can be a human, not both, because though in the old days nationalism aided the movement of national integrity and self-determination across the world, today it has become a filthy weapon in the exploits of bigotry, ignorance, narcissism and separatism.

One human life is a thousand times more valuable than a thousand bibles, qurans, suttas and vedas - one human life is a thousand times more valuable than a thousand doctrines and rituals - one human life is a thousand times more valuable than a thousand theories and schools of thought - one human life is a thousand times more valuable than a thousand religions and ideologies.

So long as there is life in my veins, I won't let no extremism, arrogance and bigotry tear apart my people - my humanity.

In a free society, people may be entitled to their belief, but they are not entitled to bigotry. To the bigots, this may seem like tyranny, but it's an absolute necessity, just like it is absolutely imperative that psychopathic murderers are kept off the streets.

My religion is the best - my nation is the best - my language is the best - my skin color is the best - and so on. One may feel proud saying all these things, but that very pride ends up becoming the cause of all interhuman conflicts in the human society.

The common Muslims have nothing to do with the acts of terrorism caused by the so-called Islamic extremists - they are as concerned of their children's safety in a world affected by terrorism, religious or otherwise, as any other person from other religious backgrounds.

Anybody who endorses division over unity is a terrorist.

It’s time we take the leap across the infectious carcass of nationalism and rise as patriots of humanity - as patriots of a planet and not of any nation, religion or language. And you can take that leap, only if you have an indomitable sense of oneness with all of humankind.
