“One of the things that a lot of Western people attack about Islam is the militant quality of Islam, but this militancy is not a militancy like aggression, its about virtue, its about chivalry, its about manliness in defending what is virtuous, in defending what is good. That’s why it’s much more like the real code of the samurai: to defend the weak, to defend the innocent, to defend the poor; that’s central to the male qualities of the Muslims. And then there are other qualities that the women embody as well - and then they mix, because we’re by our nature complimentary beings.” -— Shaykh Ḥamza Yūsuf, Refinement of the Hearts
