Notable Quotations
“We are accused [by the west] of being backwards towards women. But we say to them, that in
our traditions, paradise is the realm of mothers. In contrast, your [Western] culture forces mothers
to spend the rest of their lives in old age homes.” – on Mothers’ Day
--Al-Ayyam, March 20, 2005
“The [American] Congress has no authority to interfere in our people’s internal affairs or to
describe our people’s struggle as terror. It would be better for Congress to make policy against
the occupation.” – on the congressional decision to cut aid to the PA
--Al-Hayat al-Jadidah, August 27, 2006
