मैं उन लोगों में से नहीं हूँ जिन्होंने बचपन में कुरान को रटकर याद किया हो, लेकिन एक बात जो हमेशा मेरे ज़ेहन में रहती है, वह यह है कि धर्म में कोई ज़बरदस्ती नहीं है। आप लोगों को यह नहीं बता सकते कि उन्हें किस पर विश्वास करना चाहिए। यह इंसान और उसके पैदा करने वाले के बीच का व्यक्तिगत रिश्ता है, और इंसानों को इस बात का ठेका नहीं लेना चाहिए कि वे दूसरों को बताएं कि उन्हें अपनी ज़िंदगी कैसे जीनी चाहिए।
I'm not one who learned the Koran through recitation as a child, but one thing that always stands out is that there's no compulsion in religion. You can't tell people how to believe. It is an individual's relationship with their creator, and human beings should not be in the business of trying to tell others how they should live their lives.

मुझे लगता है कि एक बहुत महत्वपूर्ण मुद्दा यह है कि कई अश्वेत समुदायों में मानसिक स्वास्थ्य को लेकर एक सामाजिक कलंक (स्टigma) जुड़ा हुआ है। हम देखते हैं कि यह स्वीकार करने पर कि किसी को मानसिक स्वास्थ्य से जुड़ी कोई समस्या हो सकती है, समाज द्वारा उसे जिस तरह नीचा दिखाया या लज्जित किया जाता है, उसके डर से अक्सर लोग आगे आकर मदद नहीं मांगते। और मुझे लगता है कि लोगों के मानसिक स्वास्थ्य को देखने के इस नज़रिया में बदलाव लाने की बहुत ज़रूरत है।
One of the issues I think is very important, in many communities of color, there's a stigma about mental health. We find that the shaming that comes from acknowledging that one may have some issues that may relate to mental health, often people are not willing to go and seek additional help because of that shaming or that cultural stigma that's associated with it. And I think that we need to make this change in how people approach mental health.

मुझे लगता है कि आमतौर पर जब कोई गोरा व्यक्ति गोलीबारी करता है, तो इस अपराध की रिपोर्टिंग के बाद सबसे पहले उसे मानसिक बीमारी से जोड़ा जाता है। लेकिन इस मामले में, चूँकि वह एक मुस्लिम है, तो इसे हमेशा आतंकवाद ही करार दिया जाता है। इसलिए यह अमेरिकी नागरिकों के साथ-साथ उन अन्य लोगों पर भी सीधा हमला बन जाता है जो अपने धर्म में विश्वास रखते हैं। और हम पाते हैं कि हम एक बार फिर खुद को बचाने की स्थिति में आ गए हैं, और कई मामलों में, इसके कारण लोग अपनी रोज़मर्रा की ज़िंदगी में और ज़्यादा सिमटने लगे हैं—खुद को अलग-थलग करने लगे हैं।
I think that, generally, when it's a white male shooting, then it's mental illness is the first thing that they utilize after reporting the crime. But in this instance, a Muslim, it's always terrorism. So it's always a direct attack towards Muslims, who are American citizens, and as well as other individuals who are here who believe in their faith. And we find that we are now in a position again of trying to protect ourselves, and, again, in some instances, causing people to become more sequestered in their day-to-day lives.

ऐसे पुरुष भी होते हैं जिन्हें महिलाओं में कोई दिलचस्पी नहीं होती। इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि ज़रूरी तौर पर पुरुषों में उनकी रुचि हो, बल्कि विद्वान अक्सर इसका अर्थ उन पुरुषों से लगाते हैं जिन्हें कामुकता या संभोग का कोई अनुभव या ज्ञान नहीं होता।
There are men who do exist who have no desire for women. That doesn't necessarily mean they have an interest in men, but scholars often interpret it to mean those men who don't have sexual knowledge.

सही परिस्थितियों में, समलैंगिक लोग राजनीतिज्ञ बन सकते हैं और सक्रियता (एक्टिविज़्म) के ज़रिए बहुत बड़े पैमाने पर अपने जीवन की कमान अपने हाथ में ले सकते हैं।
Under the right conditions, gay people can become politicians and be in control of their lives in a much broader way through activism.

मानसिक स्वास्थ्य के दृष्टिकोण से मुझे लगता है कि अक्सर लोगों को बंदूक में एक ताकत नजर आती है। ज़्यादातर मामलों में यही असली वजह होती है। जब लोग खुद को कमज़ोर महसूस करते हैं, तो उस हीन भावना से पार पाने के लिए वे बंदूक का सहारा लेते हैं। और ज़ाहिर है, जब बात यहाँ तक पहुँचती है, तो अक्सर इस खूनी खेल में लोगों की जान चली जाती है।
I think one of the issues quite often, from a mental health perspective, that people find power behind a gun. Frequently, that is the issue behind most people. They feel a loss of power. They use a gun to sort of equalize things. And, of course, once the process begins, quite often people die in that process.

डेट्रॉ이트, मिशिगन में बड़े होते हुए, मेरे माता-पिता दोनों के पास बंदूकें थीं। उन्होंने हमें सिखाया था कि उनका सुरक्षित और सावधानी से इस्तेमाल कैसे किया जाए, क्योंकि हमारा व्यवसाय था और वे सुरक्षा के लिहाज से ऐसा करते थे। लेकिन उनका स्पष्ट नियम था कि बंदूक का इस्तेमाल कभी मत करना, जब तक कि... मतलब कभी भी बंदूक से खेलना मत, जब तक कि तुम्हारा इरादा उसे चलाने का न हो — और वह भी सिर्फ आत्मरक्षा के लिए।
I'm growing up in Detroit, Michigan, both of my parents were gun owners, and that they taught us how to safely and carefully utilize them, because we had businesses, and they showed us out of a sense of protection. But that was something that was used to never use a gun unless you intend - never play with a gun unless you use it to intend - intend to use it. But it was for protection only.
