“To pretend that there is no such thing as the Muslim world is specious...” — Mehdi Hasan Quote

“To pretend that there is no such thing as the Muslim world is specious, self-deluding, and - frankly - plain silly.”

“I love my job... but I find myself awkwardly straddling the divide between British Islam and the British media. I get pretty exhausted of having to constantly endure a barrage of lazy stereotypes, inflammatory headlines, disparaging generalisations, and often inaccurate and baseless stories.”

“None of us believes in an untrammelled right to free speech. We all agree there are always going to be lines that, for the purposes of law and order, cannot be crossed; or for the purposes of taste and decency, should not be crossed. We differ only on where those lines should be drawn.”

“People tell me about my record in ICC events, but frankly speaking, the intent has always been the same.”

“Quite frankly, I don't know how I could live without my Blendtec.”

“I don't expect everyone to agree with me. Frankly, I'd be shocked if they did.”
