But the weakness comes from these Westernised co-opted Muslim leaders who just want to look good in the eyes of the West and Western media.

Today the Western powers and media want to domesticate us like sheep, to keep us tame and domesticated.

Oil wealth has been a curse on us, made us weak and docile.

So we want an Islamic state where Islamic law is not just in the books but enforced, and enforced with determination. There is no space and no room for democratic consultation. The Shariah is set and fixed, so why do we need to discuss it anymore? Just implement it!

Never forget that no military leader has ever become great without audacity.

We have a world minus a whole lot of talent that has stepped out of contention for leadership, only because they don't want to seem too aggressive, too smart, unattractive, or too male.

When we see a lack of leadership coming from the White House, that's what brings leaders in Turkey to attack Israel the way they do. When we see a lack of leadership coming from the White House, that's why we see the leader of Iran... continuing to build the nuclear reactors.

Since I became Liberal leader, I've focused on building a better Canada for the middle class.
