“There are those in the EU who are victims of fanaticism. There are those who cannot free themselves from prejudice. There are those who look at Turkey in a funny way.”
Tayyip Erdogan
“Prejudice is easy to promote and highly profitable.”
Muhammed Haider
“Islam makes very large claims for itself. In its art, there is a prejudice against representing the human form at all. The prohibition on picturing the prophet – who was only another male mammal – is apparently absolute. So is the prohibition on pork or alcohol or, in some Muslim societies, music or dancing. Very well then, let a good Muslim abstain rigorously from all these. But if he claims the right to make me abstain as well, he offers the clearest possible warning and proof of an aggressive intent.”
Christopher Hitchens
“Those who seek that third option, who step above prejudice, who excite others to challenge the boundaries of society for the advancement and progression of humanity and rattle the status quo.... we tend to kill off.”
Marcus Gonzales
“I think that we have in recent years entered a 'New Dark Age' in the Western world. It is marked by the rise of religious systems that seek to build security by encouraging prejudice against a designated victim ... the homosexual. It has become the religious hysteria of our day.”
John Shelby Spong
“Jackie Biskupski is running for a seat in the Utah Legislature, and she's attracting a lot of attention because she's a lesbian. Her Republican opponent, Dan Alderson, is a staunch Mormon, and is running a negative ad campaign calling her lifestyle abnormal and deviant … His six wives agree.”
Rick Mercer
“There's such a prejudice against napping in our culture. You 'sneak a nap,' 'get caught napping.' But it's a no-cost way to keep people happy.”
Bill Anthony
“What are you trying to protect heterosexual marriages from? There isn't a limited amount of love in Iowa. It isn't a non-renewable resource. If Amy and Barbara or Mike and Steve love each other, it doesn't mean that John and Mary can't.”
Ed Fallon
“Amos & Andy is to African Americans as the Jersey Shore/the Sopranos is to Italian Americans. Stepin Fetchit is to African Americans as Mike "the Situation" Sorrentino/Tony Soprano is to Italian Americans. Some may argue that Amos & Andy and Stepin Fetchit did, at least, help to open doors for African Americans in the movie industry. Sorrentino and Soprano do nothing but perpetuate a negative stereotype that degrades all people of Italian descent with absolutely no redeeming social value.”
Camillo Mac Bica
“If love is blind, then maybe a blind person that loves has a greater understanding of it.”
Criss Jami
