Nice girls don't wear cha-cha heels(taglines)

Aunt Ida

 * The world of the heterosexual is a sick and boring life.
 * Queers are just better. I'd be so proud if you was a fag.
 * Fucker! Pig fucker! Hetero! Filthy hetero stink-shit!
 * [to Taffy] And remember, my offer still stands. If you get tired of being a Hare Krishna, you come live with me and be a lesbian!

Dawn Davenport

 * Where did you get this crap, Taffy? I told you to spend that money I gave you on a cute outfit, but ooooh-noooo! As soon as my back is turned, you run right out and spend it on props for your morbid little games! Well, I want it cleaned up pronto! We're having guests for dinner and I want you looking as P-R-E-T-T-Y as humanly possible!
 * You're a pain, Taffy. A pain in my big asshole!
 * I'm afraid I'm going to have to break the news to you, but I've thrown Gator out and started divorce proceedings. I don't want to seem overly bitter, but I want you to destroy all of his belongings.
 * Davenport. Dawn Davenport! I'm a thief and a shitkicker, and, uh, I'd like to be famous.
 * I've DONE everything a mother can do: I've locked her in her room, I've beat her with the car aerial. Nothing changes her. It's HARD being a loving mother!
 * [before being executed] I'd like to thank all the wonderful people that made this great moment in my life come true. My daughter Taffy, who died in order to further my career. My friends Chicklette and Concetta who should be here with me today. All the fans who died so fashionably and gallantly at my nightclub act. And especially all those wonderful people who were kind enough to read about me in the newspapers and watch me on the television news shows. Without all of you, my career could never have gotten this far. It was you that I murdered for and it is you that I will die for! Please remember, I love every fucking one of you!

Taffy Davenport

 * Writing a book, hippie? Why don't you go listen to some folk music and give me a break!
 * If I have to eat with Gator, I'll spit food!
 * I wouldn't suck your lousy dick if I was suffocating and there was oxygen in your balls!
 * You're not my daddy, you disgusting hippie pig! And I wouldn't get near a bed that had been defiled by the likes of you two! I'd sooner jump in a river of snot!

Others

 * Butterfly: Beauty, beauty, look at you, I wish to God I had it, too.
 * Prison Matron: OK, Lez-beans! I caught ya! Bumpin' pussies is a violation of jail rules!

Dialogue

 * Earl Peterson: [answering phone] Hello?
 * Dawn Davenport: Is Earl Peterson there? Earl Peterson! This is Dawn Davenport. Dawn Davenport...you made love to me Christmas morning.
 * [Earl gasps]
 * Dawn Davenport: Well, I just called to tell you I'm pregnant and I want money.
 * Earl Peterson: You stole my wallet, you fat bitch!
 * Dawn Davenport: So what if I did? I want money!
 * Earl Peterson: You'll never get any money from me, cow! Just cause you got them big udders don't mean you're somethin' special. Get the hook! Go fuck yourself for all I care. YEAH! Go fuck yourself! [hangs up]
 * Dawn Davenport: Hello? Hello? UGH!

 * Concetta: [consoling Dawn] Just get your hair done. That's what I always do when I get depressed.
 * Dawn Davenport: Maybe I will.
 * Concetta: I'll tell ya, the Lipstick Beauty Salon is the best. They only let, well, you know, "special" girls in. You have to audition to even get your hair done!
 * Chicklette: AND, there's this guy that does hair there, MMMM MMMM. I'd suck the socks off him in a minute.
 * Concetta: Yeah, Gator's his name, and you know what? He lives right next door.
 * Dawn Davenport: Wonder what HIS story is? Maybe he's a...CHUBBY CHASER!

 * Dribbles: How's your little girl? Why don't you bring her in here more often?
 * Sally: Why? So you can undress her with your eyes? For Christ's sake, she's only six years old.
 * Dribbles: I know, but I just like to play with her. I wish I was a little girl.
 * Sally: Well, throw a goddamn penny in a fountain and make a goddamn wish and maybe it'll come true.

 * Taffy as a child: Why can't I go to school? Why can't I have friends?
 * Dawn Davenport: You can't go to school because I said so. I won't have you nagging me for lunch money and whining for help on your homework. There is no need to know about presidents, wars, numbers or science. Just listen to me and you'll learn. And no little friends over here, repeating rhymes, asking flippant questions, and talking in those nagging baby voices. Can't you just sit here and look out into the air? Isn't that enough? Do you always have to badger me for attention?

 * Wink: I'm getting a hard-on! Beauty always gives me a hard-on!
 * Donna Dasher: Aim it the other way then, Wink. You know how I detest organs. Beauty has absolutely nothing to do with that WORD, that THING you have hanging there like an obscene pickle. Spare me your anatomy.

 * Aunt Ida: Oh, Ernie! Have another pretzel, for Chrissakes! Wait 'til you meet my little Gator. You two are gonna fall right in love.
 * Ernie: My dear, I hope so. Are you sure he's gay?
 * Aunt Ida: Well, I just use common sense. I mean, if they're smart, they're queer, and if they're stupid, they're straight, right, Ernie? Are you sure you won't have another pretzel?
 * Ernie: I'm sure, Miss Thing, I'm sure. Pretzels give you plaque.

 * School snitch: Mr. Weinberger, Dawn Davenport is eating a meatball sandwich right out in class...AND she's been passing notes!
 * Dawn Davenport: I was not eating!
 * Mr. Weinberger: From the look of you, Miss Davenport, you never stopped eating!
 * Concetta: I got a knife here in my pocketbook and I'm gonna cut you up after class!

 * Dawn Davenport: I'd like to set fire to this dump!
 * Concetta: Just 'cause we're pretty, everybody's jealous!

 * Dawn Davenport: WHAT are THESE? [Dawn discovers the shoe box under the Christmas tree does not contain cha cha heels]
 * Mrs. Davenport: Those are your new shoes, Dawn!
 * Dawn Davenport: Those aren't the right kind! I told you cha cha heels, black ones!
 * Mr. Davenport: Nice girls don't wear cha cha heels!
 * Dawn Davenport: Gimme those presents! I'll never wear those ugly shoes! I told you the kind I wanted! You ruined my Christmas! [stomps on all of the Christmas presents]
 * Mrs. Davenport: Please, Dawn! Not on Christmas!
 * Dawn Davenport: Get off me, you ugly witch! [pushes mother into the Christmas tree, knocking Mrs. Davenport and the tree down]
 * Mr. Davenport: Dawn Davenport, are you crazy, look at your mother!
 * Dawn Davenport: Get off me...LAY OFF ME! I hate you, fuck you! Fuck you both, you awful people! You're not my parents! I hate you, I hate this house, and I hate Christmas!
 * Mrs. Davenport: Not on Christmas! Not on Christmas!

 * Taffy Davenport: What's that camera for?
 * Donald Dasher: To take pictures of your mother.
 * Taffy Davenport: HER?
 * Donald Dasher: We happen to think she's quite beautiful.
 * Taffy Davenport: You must be cockeyed then!

 * Dawn Davenport: You want your spaghetti with or without cheese?
 * Donna Dasher: I'll have two chicken breasts please.
 * Dawn Davenport: Well, uh, we're not having that, we're having spaghetti.
 * Donna Dasher: I couldn't possibly eat spaghetti. Do I look Italian?
 * Donald Dasher: We rarely eat any form of noodle. But I'll take a small portion to be polite, with cheese, please.
 * Donna Dasher: I'll have an extremely large glass of ice water.

 * Gator: Hello, Aunt Ida.
 * Aunt Ida: Gator Nelson, what a coincidence! There's somebody here dying to meet you! Gator, this is Ernie; Ernie, this is Gator!
 * Ernie: Hi, stud!
 * Gator: Get him outta here!
 * Aunt Ida: Gator Nelson, you be polite to Ernie! He wants a date with you!
 * Gator: Well, I don't want a date with him. I came to say goodbye, Aunt Ida, I'm moving to Detroit.
 * Aunt Ida: WHAT?
 * Gator: I want to be near the auto industry. I'm sick of hairdressing and besides, Dawn had me fired.
 * Ernie: I can get you a job in the baths, Mary!
 * Gator: Look, fucker, take a walk!
 * Ernie: Well!
 * Gator: Look, you better beat it before I punch your fuckin' face out that window.
 * Ernie: No gay knocks for me, Ida! At best, all you've got is trade.
 * Aunt Ida: Oh Gator! Ernie's your type! Move in with me again, and we'll get you a job as a female impersonator!
 * Ernie: His hands are too big, dahling. BYE, Gator. It was...FAB meeting you!
 * Gator: FUCK you, you're worse than my wife!

 * Dribbles: How's your little girl? Why don't you bring her in here more often?
 * Sally: Why? So you can undress her with your eyes? For Christ's sake, she's only six years old.
 * Dribbles: I know, but I just like to play with her. I wish I was a little girl.
 * Sally: Well, throw a goddamn penny in a fountain and make a goddamn wish and maybe it'll come true.

 * Donald Dasher: We are always curious as to what drew you here to "Le Lipstique".
 * Stripper: Well I heard all the strippers come here, and I got sick of my old salon.
 * Donna Dasher: And supposing we become sick of you?
 * Stripper: Well, I had hoped that wouldn't happen...!
 * Donna Dasher: Well, I think it IS happening. It's hard to describe, but when I look into your face, I pick up the distinct sensation of NAUSEA.
 * Stripper: Hey, WAIT A MINUTE...!

 * Gator: Hey Taffy, baby, come suck your daddy's dick.
 * Taffy: I wouldn't suck your lousy dick if I was suffocating and there was oxygen in your balls!

 * Taffy: [showing up at Superstar nightclub dressed in saffron robes] Hare Krishna, mother!
 * Dawn Davenport: You've finally done it, haven't you! Embarrassed me on my night of FAME! [grabs her] No reporters saw you did they?!
 * [Taffy shakes off her mother's hands]
 * Dawn Davenport: Look at you, I could vomit!
 * Donald Dasher: THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF BEAUTY!
 * Donna Dasher: Remember Alice Crimmins.

 * Concetta: Hey there, Taffy.
 * Dawn Davenport: She's been a hideous little girl today, she was about to get a good whippin'!
 * Chicklet: She's so cute.
 * Taffy as a child: Who are you, UGLY?
 * Dawn Davenport: You know who they are!
 * Taffy as a child: I've never seen THEM before.
 * Dawn Davenport: Oh, TAFFY.
 * Chicklet: I just saw you yesterday, Taffy. Come sit here with your Aunt Chicklet!
 * [Taffy bites Chicklette's arm]
 * Chicklet: OH MY GOD, this kid's BITIN me!
 * Dawn Davenport: This is ridiculous.

 * Taffy Davenport: Daddy? Daddy? It's me Taffy!
 * Earl Peterson: I don't know nobody named Taffy. I'm busy right now.
 * Taffy Davenport: Oh, please let me in, Daddy! Open the door!
 * Earl Peterson: Ah, fucking shut up! Alright already!
 * Taffy Davenport: [jumping into his arms] Daddy, it's me Taffy, your long, lost little girl!
 * Earl Peterson: Hey, get off! I ain't your daddy! I ain't even married!
 * Taffy Davenport: Oh, I know that, but you're my daddy alright. My mother told me. My mother is Dawn Davenport.
 * Earl Peterson: Yeah, you can stay here awhile. Want a drink?
 * Taffy Davenport: NO! You don't even believe me, do you?
 * Earl Peterson: Yeah, yeah. I'll be your sugar daddy, how about that?
 * [belches in Taffy's face]
 * Earl Peterson: I'm feelin' a little drink, so don't mind me.
 * Taffy Davenport: Shitface! You're my father! Doesn't that mean anything to you?
 * Earl Peterson: Who'd you say your mother was?
 * Taffy Davenport: Dawn Davenport. You know her.
 * Earl Peterson: What does she look like?
 * Taffy Davenport: Fat. Very fat.
 * Earl Peterson: Yeah, yeah. I maybe remember.
 * Taffy Davenport: Oh, daddy! I knew you would! Mother's been awful to me. For years, I've suffered. Please let me stay with you. I won't be any trouble. I'll help you clean and we can go out together and maybe... maybe you can buy me some regular clothes.
 * Earl Peterson: Can you fuck as good as your mother?
 * Taffy Davenport: [slaps Earl across the face] PIG! You goddamn slimy pig!
 * Earl Peterson: Hey, little Taffy, can you stretch like taffy?
 * Taffy Davenport: [struggling] Fuck you.
 * Earl Peterson: Hey, you spilled my drink! [pulls out his syphillitic penis] Daddy Earl's got a little present for you. [vomits on Taffy] I'm sorry... I been drinking.
 * [Taffy sees a butcher knife and begins stabbing Earl in the chest]
 * Taffy Davenport: OH! OH! [throws knife down and runs from house]

Take a good look at ME because I'm going to be on the front of every newspaper in this country tomorrow! You're looking at crime personified AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT! I framed Leslie Bacon! I called the heroin hot line on Abby Hoffman! I bought the gun that Bremmer used to shoot Wallace! I had an affair with Juan Corona! I blew Richard Speck! And I'm so fuckin' beautiful I can't stand it myself! [She shoots her gun into the air] Now, everybody freeze! Who wants to be famous? Who wants to DIE for art?!
 * Audience member: I do!

Wikiquote:Quote of the day/April 14, 2007

All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist... It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever... Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is "So it goes." ~ Kurt Vonnegut

Abul A'la Maududi

Syed Abul A'la Maududi Chishti (Urdu: ابو الاعلی مودودی; September 25, 1903 – September 22, 1979), also known as Abul A'la Maududi, was a journalist, theologian, Muslim revivalist leader and political philosopher. He was the founder of the Jamaat-e-Islami and the first recipient of the King Faisal International Award from Saudi Arabia. He has been the second person in history whose absentee funeral was observed in the Kaaba.

Quotes

 * [Unbelievers] “have, however, absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of God’s earth nor to direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines. For if they are given such an opportunity, corruption and mischief will ensue. In such a situation the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life.”
 * Mawdudi, III, 202.   Sayyid Abul A‘la Mawdudi, Towards Understanding the Qur’an (Tafhim al-Qur’an ), Zafar Ishaq Ansari, trans. (Leicester, England: The Islamic Foundation, 1995) about quran 9.29  quoted in The critical qur’an: explained from key islamic commentaries and contemporary historical research. (2021). . Bombardier Books.

 * It is made clear that one need not guard one’s private parts from two kinds of women – one’s wives and slave-girls.
 * Mawdudi, VI, 81. Sayyid Abul A‘la Mawdudi, Towards Understanding the Qur’an (Tafhim al-Qur’an ), Zafar Ishaq Ansari, trans. (Leicester, England: The Islamic Foundation, 1995) about quran 23.6  quoted in The critical qur’an: explained from key islamic commentaries and contemporary historical research. (2021). . Bombardier Books.

 * Islam is a revolutionary ideology and programme which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals.
 * quoted in Asma Afsaruddin - Striving in the Path of God_ Jihad and Martyrdom in Islamic Thought-Oxford University Press (2013) 209-11 (Maududi, S. Abul A‘la . Jihad in Islam . Salimiah, KW , 1977 .)

 * [Muslims (of the right-thinking kind) constitute a Revolutionary Party whose objective] is to expend all the powers of body and soul, your life and goods in the ﬁ ght against the evil forces of the world, not that having annihilated them you should step into their shoes, but in order that evil and con- tumacy should be wiped out and God’s law should be enforced in the world.
 * quoted in Asma Afsaruddin - Striving in the Path of God_ Jihad and Martyrdom in Islamic Thought-Oxford University Press (2013) 209-11 (Maududi, S. Abul A‘la . Jihad in Islam . Salimiah, KW , 1977 .)

 * In the jihad in the way of Allah, active combat is not always the role on the battlefield, nor can everyone fight in the front line. Just for one single battle preparations have often to be made for decades on end and the plans deeply laid, and while only some thousands fight in the front line there are behind them millions engaged in various tasks which, though small themselves, contribute directly to the supreme effort.
 * Attributed to Sayyid Abu Ala Maudoodi by Bill Warner in The Wrong Way To Fight Jihad. March 2010.

 * "Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is to set up a state on the basis of its own ideology and programme, regardless of which nation assumes the role of the standard-bearer of Islam or the rule of which nation is undermined in the process of the establishment of an ideological Islamic State. Islam requires the earth—not just a portion, but the whole planet .... because the entire mankind should benefit from the ideology and welfare programme [of Islam] … Towards this end, Islam wishes to press into service all forces which can bring about a revolution and a composite term for the use of all these forces is ‘Jihad’. .... the objective of the Islamic ‘ Jihād’ is to eliminate the rule of an un-Islamic system and establish in its stead an Islamic system of state rule."
 * Sayyid Abul Ala' Mawdudi, Jihad in Islam Pg. 6-7 and Pg. 22

 * Finally, no less a figure than Sayyid Abu ’l-‘Alā’ Mawdūdī, one of the major thinkers behind modern Islamist ideology, said that in an Islamic state as envisioned by him, “no one can regard any field of his affairs as personal and private. Considered from this aspect, the Islamic state bears a kind of resemblance to the Fascist and Communist states.”
 * Syed Abul ’ Ala Maudoodi, Islamic Law and Constitution, trans. and ed. Khursid Ahmad (Chicago: Kazi Publications, Inc., 1993), 262.. in Ibn, Warraq (2017). The Islam in Islamic terrorism: The importance of beliefs, ideas, and ideology. ch 2

 * “God has prohibited the unrestricted intermingling of the sexes and has prescribed purdah [a word of Persian origin meaning the religious and social practice of female seclusion]” recognizing “man’s guardianship of woman,” for Muslims must guard against “that satanic flood of female liberty and licence which threatens to destroy human civilization in the West.”
 * Syed Abul A’la Maududi, Political Theory of Islam (1960; Lahore: Islamic Publications Ltd., 1980), 27.in Ibn, Warraq (2017). The Islam in Islamic terrorism: The importance of beliefs, ideas, and ideology. ch 15

 * The reforms which Islam wants to bring about cannot be carried out merely by sermons. Political power is essential for their achievement.
 * Maududi, Islamic Law and Constitution, 177. in Ibn, Warraq (2017). The Islam in Islamic terrorism: The importance of beliefs, ideas, and ideology. ch 15

 * (The) materials for the constitution of an Islamic state are to be found in four principle sources, the Koran, the Sunna of the Prophet, the conventions and practices of the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs, and in the rulings of the great jurists of the Islamic tradition.
 * Adams, “Mawdudi and the Islamic State,” 114. in Ibn, Warraq (2017). The Islam in Islamic terrorism: The importance of beliefs, ideas, and ideology. ch 15

 * The power to rule over the earth has been promised to the whole community of believers; it has not been stated that any particular person or class among them will be raised to that position. From this it follows that all believers are repositories of the Caliphate.
 * Maududi, Political Theory of Islam, 35. in Ibn, Warraq (2017). The Islam in Islamic terrorism: The importance of beliefs, ideas, and ideology. ch 15

 * [The Islamic State] cannot…restrict the scope of its activities….It seeks to mould every aspect of life and activity in consonance with its moral norms and programme of social reform. In such a state no one can regard any field of his affairs as personal and private. Considered from this aspect the Islamic state bears a kind of resemblance to the Fascist and Communist states.
 * Maududi, Political Theory of Islam, 30. in Ibn, Warraq (2017). The Islam in Islamic terrorism: The importance of beliefs, ideas, and ideology. ch 15

1960s

 * Human relations are so integrated that no state can have complete freedom of action under its principles unless the same principles are not in force in a neighbouring country. Therefore, a, ‘Muslim Party’ will not be content with the establishment of Islam in just one area alone –both for its own safety and for general reform. It should try and expand in all directions. On one hand it will spread its ideology; on the other it will invite people of all nations to accept its creed, for salvation lies only therein. If this Islamic state has power and resources it will fight and destroy non-Islamic governments and establish Islamic states in their place.
 * 1964, Haqiqat-i-Jihad, page 64, Taj Company Ltd, Lahore, Pakistan 1964.

 * It [Jamaat-e-Islami] is not a missionary organisation or a body of preachers or evangelists, but an organisation of God’s troopers.
 * 1964, Haqiqat-i-Jihad, page 58, Taj Company Ltd, Lahore, Pakistan.

 * [Islam] leaves no room of human legislation in an Islamic state, because herein all legislative functions vest in God and the only function left for Muslims lies in their observance of the God-made law.
 * 1967 Islamic Law and Constitution, Mawdudi's writings collected and translated into English by Khurshid Ahmad, p. 77; quoted in: Charles J. Adam, "Mawdudi and the Islamic State," in John L. Esposito, ed., Voices of Resurgent Islam, (New York: Oxford University Press, 1983) on page 125.

1970s

 * It must now be obvious that the objective of the Islamic jihad is to eliminate the rule of an un-Islamic system, and establish in its place an Islamic system of state rule. Islam does not intend to confine his rule to a single state or a hand full of countries. The aim of Islam is to bring about a universal revolution. Although in the initial stages, it is incumbent upon members of the party of Islam to carry out a revolution in the state system of the countries to which they belong; their ultimate objective is none other than world revolution.
 * 1970, Jihad in Islam (Jihad Fi Sabillilah), Transl. Abdul Waheed Khan, page 20, Islamic Publications Ltd, Pakistan.

 * German Nazism could not have succeeded in establishing itself except as a result of the theoretical contributions of Fichte, Goethe and Nietzsche, coupled with the ingenious and mighty leadership of Hitler and his comrades.
 * 1977, Minhaj al-inqilab al-Islami. (The method of Islamic Revolution) p. 19.

 * Islam is not a ‘religion’ in the sense this term is commonly understood. It is a system encompassing all fields of living. Islam means politics, economics, legislation, science, humanism, health, psychology and sociology. It is a system which makes no discrimination on the basis of race, color, language or other external categories. Its appeal is to all mankind. It wants to reach the heart of every human being.
 * 1978, Towards Understanding Islam, Chapter 7, Lahore, Pakistan.

 * The Qur'an is not a book of abstract theories and cold ideas, which one can grasp while seated in a cozy armchair. Nor is it merely a religious book like other religious books, whose meanings can be grasped in seminaries and oratories. On the contrary, it is a Book which contains a message, an invitation, which generates a movement. The moment it began to be sent down, it impelled a quiet and pious man to abandon his life of solitude and confront the world that was living in rebellion against Allah. It inspired him to raise his voice against falsehood, and pitted him in a grim struggle against the lords of disbelief, evil and iniquity. One after the other, from every home, it drew every pure and noble soul, and gathered them under the banner of truth. In every part of the country, it made all the mischievous and the corrupt to rise and wage war against the bearers of the truth.
 * 1979, Tafhimul Qur'an, Vol. I, Lahore, pp. 334.

 * “the simple fact is that according to Islam, non-Muslims have been granted the freedom to stay outside the Islamic fold and to cling to their false, man-made, ways if they so wish.” ...“There is no compulsion in religion.” ...(unbelievers) “have, however, absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of God’s earth nor to direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines. For if they are given such an opportunity, corruption and mischief will ensue. In such a situation the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life”
 * (Towards Understanding the Qur’an, vol. III, p. 202).

After 1970s

 * In our domain we neither allow any Muslim to change his religion nor allow any other religion to propagate its faith.
 * 1981, Murtad ki Saza Islami Qanun Mein, Sayyid Abul A’la Maududi, page 32, Lahore Islamic Publications Ltd, 8th edition.

 * The real place of women is the house and she has been exempted from outdoor duties…She has however been allowed to go out of the house to fulfil her genuine needs, but whilst going out she must observe complete modesty. Neither should she wear glamorous clothes and attract attention, nor should she cherish the desire to display the charms of the face and the hand, nor should she walk in a manner which may attract attention of others. Moreover she should not speak to them without necessity, and if she has to speak she should not speak in a sweet and soft voice.
 * Purdah and the status of Women in Islam, 1991, p. 140, Taj Company Ltd, Lahore, Pakistan.

About

 * In the 1960s, military dictators used religion as a rallying cry against India, feeding further intolerance against Hindus and appeasing Islamists. Social and cultural life continued unperturbed, but some now brandished Pakistan as a citadel of Islam. The architect of that citadel would be Abu A’la al-Mawdudi, the man who had inspired Qutb in Egypt and Khomeini in Iran. Mawdudi had not always been a religious fundamentalist. Born in 1903 in British India, he was a journalist, a poet, and newspaper editor whose intellectual, mystical, theological journey made him the twentieth century’s greatest revivalist Islamic thinker. He transformed from a young man in a suit with a round face and a mustache to a preacher with a traditional karakul (curly lambskin) hat and a beard. Mawdudi dabbled in Marxism and Western philosophy, and was inspired to become a writer by a poet friend. He admired Mahatma Gandhi and was even briefly an Indian nationalist. But like his contemporary Egypt’s Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mawdudi was dismayed by the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1924 and the secularism of the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Mawdudi’s ideas about Islam and Muslim identity reflected his own existential questioning and evolved at a time of deep flux for Muslims in India. In a landscape littered with the vestiges of a collapsed Muslim power, the Mughal Empire, Muslims were caught between the uncertainty caused by a departing colonial power and growing Hindu nationalism. Mawdudi believed that the rise of the Western concept of nationalism among Muslims had led to the downfall of the Ottomans, allowing European powers to enter the region. He believed the answer lay not in more nationalism, or in a new country for Muslims, but in reviving Islam and implementing true Islamic rule.

 * By 1941, in Lahore, he had founded Jamaat-e Islami, the vanguard of the Islamic revolution of his dreams. His followers would deny he had ever written such heathen verses. Mawdudi had opposed the creation of Pakistan. But once it came into existence, he worked relentlessly to turn it into his utopian Islamic state. From philosopher and ideologue, he became a strategist, a politician with a program. The Jamaat organized a highly structured network of activists to spread the message, pushing to institutionalize Islamic values at every level of society and public life, including politics. According to Mawdudi, no ruler, no system had ever been truly Islamic, because Muslims had become estranged from the true precepts of their religion, and governments that did not strictly apply the shari’a, Islamic law, were apostates. The jahiliyya, the pre-Islam age of ignorance, therefore continued, and Mawdudi’s response was the hukm, sovereign rule, of God over earth through the rule of shari’a. In its Arabic root declination, the word hukm led to the word and concept of hakimiyya: an Islamic state that was the result of the Islamization of society and state through education, the Islamization of private and public life, a totalitarian model in which God’s law was supreme and elected officials governed only under the guidance of clerics.
 * Kim Ghattas, Black Wave: Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Forty-Year Rivalry That Unraveled Culture, Religion, and Collective Memory in the Middle East (2020)
 * These were the ideas that would later be attributed to the Egyptian thinker Qutb, but they were unmistakably Mawdudi’s. He was the missing link between Banna’s vague vision for an Islamic society and Qutb’s urgent political manifesto, Milestones. Novel and radical in their day, Mawdudi’s ideas are at the root of modern-day political Islam, radical Salafism, and jihadism. He inspired his contemporaries and the generations since, both Shia and Sunni. His profound influence on Pakistani politics is the bridge that connects the mujahedeen of Afghanistan in the 1980s to the jihadists of the Middle East. Decades later, when Western authors and journalists went looking for the clues that led to 9/11, they would settle on Qutb as the source of much of the evil, providing only a partial understanding of what had happened and why. Mawdudi’s key influence would be mostly forgotten, including his connections with revolutionary Iran. Mawdudi’s work had begun to appear in Iran, translated into Persian, in the early 1960s. The Pakistani scholar and Khomeini met in 1963 in Mecca, where Mawdudi delivered a lecture about the duties of Muslim youth that impressed Khomeini. The two men talked for a half hour at their hotel with a translator. Khomeini explained his campaign against the shah. This was the year of protests against the White Revolution, and Khomeini would soon be exiled to Iraq. Mawdudi did not believe in a revolution for Pakistan; he preached for the Islamization of society as the natural path to an Islamic state. But the majority of Pakistanis were indifferent to his message. He was also unpopular with the country’s leaders. Mawdudi was jailed four times, only narrowly escaping a death sentence thanks to the intervention of Saudi Arabia in 1953. During the elections of 1970, the Jamaat won only four of the three hundred seats in the National Assembly. But in Zia’s Pakistan, Mawdudi was suddenly useful. The pious general sought his advice, and the scholar’s views were now published on the front page of newspapers
 * Kim Ghattas, Black Wave: Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Forty-Year Rivalry That Unraveled Culture, Religion, and Collective Memory in the Middle East (2020)

 * What is beyond dispute is that Mawdūdī did inspire many people who wanted to establish an Islamic state and at least some of these people may have wanted to expedite the process through violent revolution. His journal Tarjumān al-Qur’ān lays out arguments for the Islamic state and its blueprint in almost every issue. Indeed, he initiated his efforts to create such a state in Pakistan from the very beginning as one of his interviews broadcasted from Radio Pakistan on 18 May 1948 bears witness.... Mawdūdī is often credited with being one of the intellectual fathers of Islamist militancy which is much in evidence nowadays in the form of violent attacks on civilian targets, suicide attacks, and so on. Yet by his own actions and writings he does not advocate the use of force in the way militant thinkers do. Mawdūdī might have inspired them in certain of their doctrines, but he did not personally choose to legitimise violence by non-state actors either against one’s own rulers or against non-Muslims in general... . In short, though Mawdūdī’s method is not outwardly revolutionary his conclusions are. And, since political power is his main concern, the establishment of an Islamic state, and jihad, carry great significance in his works.
 * Tariq Rahman - Interpretations of Jihad in South Asia_ An Intellectual History-de Gruyter (2018) ch 7

 * As we can see, Mawdūdī’s major hermeneutical device is his ideological imperative, i.e. that Islam must be politically dominant since God wants the world to be ruled according to the laws of Islam. It is the only system of being and doing which ensures the sovereignty of God hence no other form of rule can be tolerated.... But when and how ideas on the philosophical plane influence people to such a degree that they are ready to die and kill for them? This we may not know for certain but we do know that they do, and Mawdūdī and Quṭb were powerful influences upon radical Islamist thought in the contemporary era irrespective of the differences between them and their actual meanings.
 * Tariq Rahman - Interpretations of Jihad in South Asia_ An Intellectual History-de Gruyter (2018) ch 7

 * The South Asian activist Abul A‘la Mawdudi has been very inﬂuential in twentieth-century Islamist circles. Although he was at best sporadically educated in the traditional religious sciences, his inﬂuence derives not from any exceptional reputation as a religious scholar, but rather from his forceful, charismatic personality and his uncanny ability to articulate in an emotive Islamic idiom the sociopolitical concerns of his co-religionists in a colonial context.
 * Asma Afsaruddin - Striving in the Path of God_ Jihad and Martyrdom in Islamic Thought-Oxford University Press (2013) 209-11

 * In the end, we should probably describe Mawdūdī as a fundamentalist, though a rather open- minded and well- mannered one where the scholarly tradition is concerned.
 * Cook, Michael - Ancient religions, modern politics _ the Islamic case in comparative perspective-Princeton University Press (2014)

 * Take the case of those Muslims who opposed Jinnah and his communalist demand for partition. While Aligarh was a hotbed of Pakistani agitation, the Deoband school advocated the gradual Islamization of the entire united India. The godfather of modern Islamic fundamentalism, Maulana Maudoodi, was one of the staunchest opponents of Partition. He claimed that the Muslims had a right to rule all of India.
 * Quoted from Elst, Koenraad (1991). Ayodhya and after: Issues before Hindu society.

 * Among the scions of the Deoband school we find Maulana Maudoodi, the chief ideologue of modern fundamentalism. He opposed the Pakistan scheme and demanded the Islamization of all of British India. After independence, he settled in Pakistan and agitated for the full Islamization of the (still too British) polity. Shortly before his death in 1979, his demands were largely met when general Zia launched his Islamization policy.
 * Elst, Koenraad. Negationism in India: concealing the record of Islam.

 * It was in Hyderabad that Mawdūdī fully developed his views on the corruption of Islam “by centuries of incorporation of local customs and mores that had obscured that faith’s veritable teachings,” writes University of San Diego assistant professor of political science Seyyed Vali Reza Nasr. “Salvation of Muslim culture and the preservation of its power lay in the restitution of Islamic institutions and practices after they had been cleansed of the cultural influences that had sapped Muslims of their power.”

Ali Rahnema, Studies in Islamic Society (London: Zed Books Ltd., 1994), 2. in Ibn, Warraq (2017). The Islam in Islamic terrorism: The importance of beliefs, ideas, and ideology. ch 15

 * “Mawdudi’s revivalist position was radical communalism as it articulated Muslim interests and sought to protect their rights, and demanded the severance of all cultural and hence social and political ties with Hindus in the interests of purifying Islam.”
 * Seyyed Vali Reza Nasr, “Mawdudi and the Jam‘at-i Islami: The Origins, Theory and Practice of Islamic Revivalism” in Pioneers of Islamic Revival, ed.

 * He argued that the Islamic state was an ideological one, and the preservation of its ideological purity was therefore the condition sine qua non for its survival and development. Extended rights for minorities would undermine the Islamic state as they would diffuse its ideological vigilance. Therefore limiting their rights to those of zimmis in Islamic law was a matter of national security and self-preservation.
 * Reza Nasr, “Mawdudi and the Jam‘at-i Islami, 109. in Ibn, Warraq (2017). The Islam in Islamic terrorism: The importance of beliefs, ideas, and ideology. ch 15

 * Mawdūdī also clearly did not accord women a sociopolitical role equal to men. Fearing that greater interaction of the sexes would lead to immorality and undo the Islamic State, he “comes close to characterizing women as an insidious force whose activities ought to be regulated and restricted before they could wreak havoc.”
 * Reza Nasr, “Mawdudi and the Jam‘at-i Islami,” 110.in Ibn, Warraq (2017). The Islam in Islamic terrorism: The importance of beliefs, ideas, and ideology. ch 15

 * Introductory books on Mawdūdī rarely refer to his views on jihād. These views are uncompromising, unapologetic, and very disturbing in their implications. Mawdūdī begins his short treatise, Jihād in Islam, with a definition of religion and a definition of nation: But the truth is that Islam is not the name of a “Religion”, nor is “Muslim” the title of a “Nation.” In reality Islam is a revolutionary ideology and programme which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals. “Muslim” is the title of that International Revolutionary Party organized by Islam to carry into effect its revolutionary programme. And “Jihād” refers to that revolutionary struggle and utmost exertion which the Islamic Party brings into play to achieve this objective.
 * Ibn, Warraq (2017). The Islam in Islamic terrorism: The importance of beliefs, ideas, and ideology. ch 15 quoting Syed Abul A’la Maududi, Jihād in Islam (Beirut: The Holy Koran Publishing House, 1980), 5.

 * Mawdūdī declares: Islam has no vested interest in promoting the cause of this or that Nation. The hegemony of this or that State on the face of this earth is irrelevant to Islam. The sole interest of Islam is the welfare of mankind. Islam has its own particular ideological standpoint and practical programme to carry out reforms for the welfare of mankind. Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is to set up a state on the basis of its own ideology and programme, regardless of which nation assumes the role of the standard-bearer of Islam or the rule of which nation is undermined in the process of the establishment of an ideological Islamic State. Islam requires the earth—not just a portion, but the whole planet—not because the sovereignty over the earth should be wrested from one nation or several nations and vested in one particular nation, but because the entire mankind should benefit from the ideology and welfare programme or what would be truer to say from “Islam” which is the programme of well-being for all humanity. Towards this end, Islam wishes to press into service all forces which can bring about a revolution and a composite term for the use of all these forces is “Jihād.” The message could not be clearer: Islam must conquer the globe, and the purpose of jihād is totalitarian—it demands the engagement of all Muslims until Earth is ruled according to the precepts of Islam. All other ideologies, as systems where man-made laws rule, are enemies. Mawdūdī wishes to replace them with God-made laws: the Shari‘a.
 * Ibn, Warraq (2017). The Islam in Islamic terrorism: The importance of beliefs, ideas, and ideology. ch 15 quoting Syed Abul A’la Maududi, Jihād in Islam (Beirut: The Holy Koran Publishing House, 1980), 6-7

 * At the end of his long and cantankerous life the maulana had gone against all his high principles. He had gone to a Boston hospital to look for health; he had at the very end entrusted himself to the skill and science of the civilization he had tried to shield his followers from. He had sought, as someone said to me (not all Pakistanis are fundamentalists), to reap where he had not wanted his people to sow. Of the maulana it might be said that he had gone to his well-deserved place in heaven by way of Boston; and that he went at least part of the way by.
 * V.S. Naipaul, Among the Believers: An Islamic Journey (1981), p. 168.

 * The patron saint of the Islamic fundamentalists in Pakistan was Maulana Maudoodi. He opposed the idea of a separate Indian Muslim state because he felt that the Muslims were not pure enough for such a state. He felt that God should be the lawgiver; and, offering ecstasy of this sort rather than a practical programme, he became the focus of millenarian passion. He campaigned for Islamic laws without stating what those laws should be.
 * V.S. Naipaul, Among the Believers: An Islamic Journey (1981)

 * The most important of the fundamentalist groups was the Jamaat-i-Islami, the Assembly of Islam. It had been founded by a religious teacher and zealot, Maulana Maudoodi. Before partition he had objected to the idea of Pakistan, for strange reasons. The poet Iqbal, presenting the case for a separate Indian Muslim state in 1930, had said that such a state would rid Indian Islam of the “stamp which Arab imperialism was forced to give it.” Maudoodi’s ambitions were just the opposite. He thought that an Indian Muslim state would be too limiting, would suggest that Islam had done its work in India. Maudoodi wanted Islam to convert and cover all India, and to cover the world. Iqbal had said that an important reason for the creation of Pakistan was that Islam had worked better in India than in other places as “a people-building force.” Maudoodi didn’t think so. He didn’t think the Muslims of the subcontinent and their political leaders were good enough, as Muslims, for something as precious as an all-Muslim state. They were not pure enough in their belief; they were too tainted by the Indian past. Maudoodi had died in 1979. But the attitude of the Jamaat was still that the people of Pakistan and their rulers were not good enough. If Iqbal’s Muslim state had had its calamities, it wasn’t the fault of Islam; it was only the fault of the people who called themselves Muslim. In the fundamentalist way of thinking this kind of failure automatically condemned itself as the failure of a false or half-hearted Islam. And the Jamaat could always say—its cause ever fresh—that Islam had never really been tried since the early days, and that it was time to try it now. The Jamaat would show the way.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (October 30, 1966 – June 7, 2006), born Ahmad Fadeel al-Nazal al-Khalayleh, was a Jordanian jihadist who ran a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan. He became known after going to Iraq and being responsible for a series of bombings, beheadings, and attacks during the Iraq War, reportedly "turning an insurgency against US troops" in Iraq "into a Shia–Sunni civil war". He was sometimes known by his supporters as the “Sheikh of the slaughterers".

Quotes

 * The spark has been lit here in Iraq, and its heat will continue to intensify – by Allah’s permission – until it burns the crusader armies in Dabiq.

 * They are the insurmountable obstacle, the lurking snake, the crafty and malicious scorpion, the spying enemy and the penetrating venom.

 * God honoured us and so we harvested their heads and tore up their bodies in many places: the United Nations in Baghdad; the coalition forces in Karbala; the Italians in Nasiriya; the US forces on Khalidiya Bridge; the US intelligence in Al-Shahin Hotel and the Republican Palace in Baghdad; the CIA in the Rashid Hotel; and the Polish forces in Al-Hilla.
 * From a taped message on an Islamist website. Zarqawi in his own words BBC News (April 2004)

 * When recalling historical experience, the testimony of ancient times, the proofs of the present reality, and the things that we are experiencing today, we begin to truly understand God's words: "They are the enemies; so beware of them. The curse of Allah be on them!" Ibn Taymiyyah was right in his description of these people when they repudiated the people of Islam. He said: This is why they cooperated with the infidels and the Tartars...They were the main cause of the invasion of Muslim countries by Genghis Khan...Some of them cooperated with the Tartars and Franks (European Crusaders)...some of them (Shiites) backed the Christians.....They (Shiites) harbor more evil and rancor against Muslims, big and small, devout and non-devout, than anyone else. ...They enjoy repudiating and cursing Muslim leaders, especially the orthodox caliphs and the ulema (clerics). To them, anyone who does not believe in the infallible Imam (Al-Mahdi) is a nonbeliever in God and the prophet... whenever Christians and infidels triumphed over, it was a day of jubilation ...This is the end of what Shaykh-al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said about them. It is as if he is living among us today, an eyewitness of what is taking place, and saying...They always support infidels, including Jews and Christians. They help them in killing Muslims.

Sinai Tapestry (1977)

 * But to Stern at that moment it wasn't a hand grenade at all but a no longer distant cloud high above the Temple of the Moon, a driftin memory in the desert of dim pillars and fountains and waterways, mysterious places where myrrh grew, the ruins of his youth. Blinding light then in the mirror behind the bar, sudden death merging the stars and windstorms of his life with darkness in the failure of his seeking, bright blinding light in the night sky at last and Stern's once vast vision of a homeland for all the peoples of his heritage gone as if he had never lived, shattered as if he had never suffered, his futile devotion ended on a clear Cairo night during the uncertain campaigns of 1942 when the eternal disguise he wore to his last clandestine meeting, his face, was ripped way and thrown against a mirror in the half-light of an Arab bar, there to stare at a now immobile landscape fixed to witness his death forever.

But at the same time he knew the claim was true, just as was his own secret control over the Christian Quarter and Munk Szondi's over the Jewish Quarter, religious symbols and trading in futures being just as essential to Jerusalem as mummy dust. "Now then, that's my bet. Control of the Moslem Quarter. I'm putting the Moslem Quarter on the table. If either of you wins, which you won't, it belongs to you. But first you have to match my bet. No openers. The real thing."

Susie Bright

Susannah "Susie" Bright (born March 25, 1958, Arlington, Virginia), also known as Susie Sexpert, is a writer, speaker, teacher, audio show host, performer, all on the subject of sexuality. She is one of the first writers/activists referred to as a sex-positive feminist.

Quotes

 * Sometimes I wonder if MacKinnon has simply been driven mad by all the sick things people do to one another. I, too, recoil in pain and incomprehension whenever I hear about the latest psychopath who has shot his mother, machine-gunned his coworkers, raped his daughter, or slashed a prostitute. I notice that such men are more likely to have read the Bible than pornography, but I do not hold either script responsible for their actions.
 * "The Prime of Miss Kitty MacKinnon", East Bay Express, October 1993.

 * Sexual speech, not MacKinnon's speech, is the most repressed and disdained kind of expression in our world, and MacKinnon is no rebel or radical to attack it.
 * "The Prime of Miss Kitty MacKinnon", East Bay Express, October 1993.
 * On Catharine MacKinnon.

 *  "Natural" is a very dangerous word to use about sexuality ... Our society's notions of normality are completely fake and meta-trendy, since they rely on the changing standards of superstition, religion, Christianity and gender bias to define themselves. Americans, in particular, exhibit very childish reactions to sexual practices that are new to them, much like little kids who are offered a vegetable they haven't seen before: "That's disgusting!" "But darling, you haven't even tried it!" "I don't care, I hate it, I hate it!
 * Introduction, Nothing But the Girl, 1996 ISBN 186047005X.

Well, it's all over, sweethearts. I'm taking away your library card, I'm stripping badges and I'm not returning phone calls. Calling NOW feminists is like calling the People's Republic of China communist: Marx and Emma Goldman are both rolling in their graves.
 * Take the National Organization for Women — please! They've embarrassed me enough over the years, and now I'm going to give them a taste of their own medicine. They were always so holier-than-thou, systematically getting rid of everyone who wasn't just like them: white, upper-middle class, straight (or closeted), sex-phobic Democratic party apologists. As you can imagine, that's not a huge group anymore —  but they still manage to hang onto a name that insists that they represent half the population!
 * "This shameless hussy ballbuster Clinton scandals", Salon, March 13, 1998.

 * Andrea presented herself as a street fighter intellectual, a bohemian freedom fighter, and someone who wanted to get to the bottom of things. That quote about Malcolm X is apt. Malcolm pointed out “The problem is WHITE PEOPLE.” Dworkin said, “The problem is MEN.” And for all the holes that can be poked in that cloth, there is something about that grain that is absolutely true, when you are the short end of the bolt.
 * "Andrea Dworkin Has Died", Susie Bright's Journal (blog), April 11, 2005.

 * I’m sorry Andrea Dworkin started a sexual revolution that she ended up repudiating. She never got to see people like me, Carol, and the rest of us little protégées who took her inspiration and flew to a new dimension. She got stuck, and then she got sick, and when you’re famous for one thing, no one wants to see you change unless you reject it all, like a pathetic sinner seeking redemption. She was too stubborn and too old-fashioned for that. Andrea Dworkin never would have admitted that she was a SuperStar. She was the animator of the ultimate porno horror loop, where the Final Girl never gets a chance to slay the monster, she only dies, dies, dies, with the cries of the angry mourners to remember her.
 * "Andrea Dworkin Has Died", Susie Bright's Journal (blog), April 11, 2005.

 * At that time, there was general agreement among everyone involved in women’s liberation that women should have a defined sexual self-interest.
 * Keeping people neurotic and depressed and ignorant and self-doubting is oppressive.
 * People who love science fiction really do love sex.
 * When AIDS was at its most brutal, frightening, my-God-what-are-we-going-to-do era, that was when vampire stories and stories about blood and trust swept the literary world.
 * "Bright Ideas", interview by Tamara Wieder, Boston Phoenix, February 11, 2005.

 * Familiarity with your lover is what initially makes sex really good.
 * Human beings like variety, and they also like partnership... these are scientific values we can point to.
 * I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.
 * I think women need to realize that they would be much better moms if they were well-rested, sexually satisfied, and had some interests going outside their childrearing.

Lyrics

 * ここに生きてる意味がわかるよ 生まれ落ちた喜びを知る
 * Translation: I know the reason of being born on this world and the happiness of being born and living on this world.
 * "For Fruits Basket", Siki

 * I'm alright. I love you. I love my life. I'm always close to you.
 * "I'm Always Close to You", For Ritz

 * 約束　お願いはひとつだけ 生きて　生きて
 * Translation: Promise me, this is my only will. Live on. Live on.
 * "I'm Always Close to You", For Ritz

 * どんな時にも　なげてはだめよそれは なによりチャ一ミングなこと
 * Translation: Wherever you are, whenever it is, never give up. Then, it will be the most "charming" thing in the world.
 * "I'm Always Close to You", For Ritz

 * 生きるのは苦しいの　　同じくらい素敵なの
 * Translation: Though life seems painful, at the same time it is wonderful
 * 空色(Sorairo), Siki

 * 今を越えて　ここを越えてまた笑って見せて
 * Translation: I will come through this stage, I will come through this place and smile again
 * 空色(Sorairo), Siki

 * どんなイイコト素敵な言葉も その笑顔にはかなわない
 * Translation: Not a thing nor words, can ever compare to the smile of yours
 * 笑顔にはかなわない(egao ni wa kanawanai), Life is Lovely

 * 今日もがんばろう　負けない強さを持とう 愛する人のためにも
 * Translation: I will give my best today for the sake of my loved ones
 * Serenade, Siki

 * やさしさの意味はむずかしい いいと思い　かけた言葉 思いがけず　傷つけることがあるかも
 * Translation: the meaning of kindness is hard to define, words you believe to be nice could be hurt to others
 * A Happy Life, Rain or Shine

always remember that no one can ever live alone
 * でも　あきらめないで話しかけたい　言葉にもがいても だって何度も思い知ってる　誰も一人では生きてないよ　いつも
 * Translation: but even if you struggle with the words you want to say, don't give up
 * A Happy Life, Rain or Shine

so don't cast the pain, happiness and secrets away, embrace them forever because it's my life
 * あとでわかるよ　全ての意味が　今はわからなくても 苦しみも幸せも秘密も　だから　なげないで抱きしめていこう　ずっと It's My Life だから
 * Translation: although we don't know the meaning for everything now, we will soon
 * A Happy Life, Rain or Shine

AnankeBot on Hebrew wikiquote
Hi. FYI: I have just granted AnankeBot a bot flag on Hebrew wikiquote. I recommend you ask the local bureaucrats for a bot flag on all the other wikis where your bot doesn't have one yet. Have a nice day, Dolev 13:51, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Bot at FawikiQ

 * Hello your bot is blocked, please request bot flag from here Mardetanha talk 22:34, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

AnankeBot
Hello,

I've asked bots to stay hidden on my watchlist but surprisingly yours (AnankeBot) appears on it. Apparently it isn't considered a bot at least on the french-speaking Wikiquote, how come?--Chrono1084 16:14, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

AnankeBot@zhwikiquote
As I do not see your bot being a global one, would you like to apply for a bot flag at zh:Wikiquote:机器人, or would you like me to nominate it? I decide not to block your unauthorized bot as it did not flood the recent changes, but seeing edits in past years, your bot has to be authorized. Thanks.--Jusjih 01:49, 5 October 2009 (UTC) (Chinese Wikiquote bureaucrat)

Hi Nemo. There are new messages on your bot's talk page at User talk:AnankeBot. ~ Ningauble 14:51, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Reallybored999. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Reallybored999~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:33, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called TDerz. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name TDerz~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications.

This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools.

This username has been permanently blocked for attempting to fake a vandalism warning and lying about communications with a sysop (myself), following an established vandalism pattern. Note that this is a likely sockpuppet of User:Erpnaternac. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:26, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
