Tarek Fatah Quotations

This is an area of about 20 million people.... The sheer rebuilding effort is going to take billions of dollars.

an under-class of underprivileged people who can go into their ghettos and deal with issues and not bother them.

a great victory for all Canadians, but particularly Muslims in Canada, and a defeat for Islamic fundamentalists and those who are preaching it in Canada.

Now, it is the Muslim community that has taken up their place.

We would never ask our communities to vote one way or the other. We have far more respect for the Muslim community to know that the way they vote is how they see Canada, not just a narrow community.

We understand the pain and the hurt of the Muslim community but I am urging Muslims around the world to understand the repercussions of their actions, that their pain has been usurped by Islamic extremists.

We understand their pain, but Muslims should channel their anger not by burning and pillaging, but by following the example of Prophet Muhammad himself, who urged restraint and calmness in the wake of provocation.

Muslims come from all political parties, ranging from the Bloc and the NDP (to) the Liberal party. They make up their minds based on what is good for Canada, not necessarily is good for the Canadian Islamic Congress.
