"Al-Afghani’s Response to Imperialism by Richard Seymour"

“Sayed Jamaluddin Afghani's Profile at Afhani.net”

“The world is a game of chess; the loser loses and the winner wins.”

“It is not the religious beliefs, whether right or wrong, which are opposed to culture and material progress, but that belief which prohibits learning of sciences, earning one's livelihood and the ways of culture. I do not believe that there is any religion in the world which opposes these things. I would rather say that it is non-believing which inevitably leads to disorder and distortion of culture as in the case of the Nihilists.”
