The Government I Led Gave Ordinary People Peace, Security, Dignity, And Opportunity To Progress.

In Distinguishing Between Islamic Teachings And Social Taboos, We Must Remember That Islam Forbids Injustice; Injustice Against People, Against Nations, Against Women. It Shuns Race, Color, And Gender As A Basis Of Distinction Amongst Fellowmen. It Enshrines Piety As The Sole Criteria For Judging Humankind.
