An Interview with Dr. Leo Igwe — Founder, Nigerian Humanist Movement (2017)
“[C]riticism of Islam is often taken to be criticism of Muslims. That is… false. One can criticize the Quranic command to beat disobedient wives without criticizing Muslims. The accusation of Islamophobia… often fails at this point. Islam is not Muslims, and one can criticize Islam while affirming and loving Muslims.”

Quoted from Elst, Koenraad. The Problem with Secularism (2007)
“The world’s Muslims have a critical role in global understanding.”
Address to the European Parliament (2015)
Context: I am outraged and grieved by the recent attacks in some countries against Christian and minority communities. This is an offense against humanity as well as Islam. Arab Christians are an integral part of our region’s past, present and future.
Jordan is a Muslim country, with a deeply-rooted Christian community. Together, the Jordanian people make up an in- divisible society, friends and partners in building our country.
The world’s Muslims have a critical role in global understanding. Our faith, like yours, commands mercy, peace and tolerance. It upholds, as yours does, the equal human dignity of every person — men and women, neighbours and strangers. Those outlaws of Islam who deny these truths are vastly outnumbered by the ocean of believers — 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide. In fact, these terrorists have made the world’s Muslims their greatest target. We will not allow them to hijack our faith.
