Two Guy Toes
Give people pride and they'll live on bread and water, bless their exploiters, and even die for them. self-surrender is a transaction of barter: we surrender our sense of human dignity, our judgement, or moral and aesthetic sense for pride. if there is pride in being free, we are ready to die for liberty. if there is pride to be derived from an identification with a leader, we grovel in the dust before a napoléon, hitler or stalin and are ready to die for him. if there is a distinction in suffering we search for martyrdom as for hidden treasure.
Pride Self Dust
The vice i am talking of is pride or self-conceit: and the virtue opposite to it, in christian morals, is called humility...according to christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is pride. unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea bites in comparison: it was through pride that the devil became the devil: pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-god state of mind.
Christian Teacher Inspiration
Just as meekness is in all our virtues, so is pride in all our sins. whatever its momentary and alluring guise, pride is the enemy, "the first of the sins." one reason to be particularly on guard against pride is that "the devilish strategy of pride is that it attacks us, not in our weakest points, but in our strongest. it is preeminently the sin of the noble mind." not only of the noble mind, but also of the semi-righteous.
Pride Mind Enemy
There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.
Leadership Self Esteem Pride
An arab activist can take pride in the arab heritage of mathematics and science or he can take pride in his religion, and there's pride to be taken in both. but one of them could be exploited much more easily and has been in the context of world conflict. and the other is very difficult to do on the grounds that science and literature and mathematics have been among the uniting factors in the history of the world.

I think what we are seeing is a vicious circle: by covering the controversies and the conflicting realities, it creates a much distorted perception of islam and muslims. when a minority is being taken as a majority, it creates a wrong image.
