The major obstacle to a religious renewal is the intellectual classes, who are highly influential and tend to view religion as primitive superstition. They believe that science has left atheism as the only respectable intellectual stance.

He is pursuing it (the anti-Israel line) because he doesn't really have any choice internally. Otherwise he will be sidelined. It's very hard, even for people like Rafsanjani, to adopt a more moderate stance.
Mahmoud Alinejad
I've visited as one citizen up to now, as well as a politician. I'd like to keep this stance in the future.
Shinzo Abe
I think it's a bit of a negotiating stance.
David Begleiter
We decided to take an offensive stance relative to our pricing...in order to increase the size of our footprint in the marketplace.
Dirk Meyer
Hedge Fund returns were impeded by futures managers who made strong energy commodity bets. However, preliminary results indicate emerging market managers maintained their stance as leading strategy contenders, albeit by a small margin. Approximately 60% of hedge fund managers in the Index delivered positive returns, while just over half beat the S&P 500.
Wade Mcknight
People are waiting for the next catalyst. Earnings are done, the Fed is in a neutral stance. There's nothing big coming up in the next month, so the market will continue to trade on rumors and speculation.
Troy Nickerson
We were talking about it today. If you put that No. 93 on him and look at him from behind, he looks like Will Smith. A lot of things he does on the field, he has a lot of characteristics Will had. His stance, his burst off the ball look like Will's. Once he really learns the game on this level, he's going to be a great player.
Donte Whitner
We've made a quantum leap forward in our efforts to prevent the use and abuse of alcohol. We've taken a strong stance and made some progress. Attitudes have changed. We're all in this together, shaping the way kids grow up and look at the idea of drinking.
Diana Greene
It's amazing what a couple wins and a new attitude with a new coach coming in (can do). You could just tell that they had been winning games. ...Maybe in their stance on the sideline. The way they hold themselves on the field.
Courtney Mcinnis
What I would like to see is the European Commission taking a more proactive stance instead of a wait-and-see approach.
Rudy Provoost
The situation is pretty cloudy right now and investors are best advised to cash out and adopt a wait-and-see stance.
Pongrat Ratanatawanananda
We invite (schools with offensive mascots) to come here and play sports and everything, so we request that they be more sensitive to minorities. It's hard for us as a school to have a stance on the issue when we continue to invite those teams with their mascots.
Sen. Ryan Birkman
Shift gears, moving from its current stance, geared to stimulating a recovery, to a more neutral stance.
Anthony Santomero
Sometimes I get frustrated because I don't like to lose and probably didn't approach things the correct way. I think maybe that helped get us to this point. Sometimes you have to take a stance, so that is what I did.
Happy Harvick
She is a jurist with a great deal of experience in the judicial world, who will be able hold an independent stance against all other government authorities.
Reuven Rivlin
In its assessment of the monetary policy stance, the monetary board noted that prevailing conditions continue to provide room for the [central bank] to keep its policy rates steady in the near term.
Amando Tetangco
It is a disappointment right now. Nobody expected them to change the rate but they were hoping that they would maybe go to a neutral stance. Keeping rates where they did and still warning about inflation, really not backing down, has unnerved the markets a little bit.
Barry Berman
This data reinforces the likelihood of a jobless economic recovery and not that of a double-dip recession. It also makes it marginally more likely the Federal Reserve will change its stance on monetary policy to an easing bias.
Matthew Wickens
It's all about the buyback and the dividend. It is a complete change of stance for Royal Bank and takes out the acquisition risk.
Mark Sartori
With the FOMC rate verdict due later today, there's a cautious mood creeping into equity markets as although a 25 basis point hike is widely expected, there's little consensus as to just how long the aggressive stance over interest rates will now continue for.
Matthew Buckland
Through the talks, we hope to make our position clear to the DPRK and get further knowledge about their stance.
Akitaka Saiki
Newspaper reports on Tuesday have suggested that I was angry which is wrong. It was a principled stance that I should be treated with respect and that's why I was disappointed.
Inzamam ul
The sentiment on interest rates can swing. It really depends on the stance of the Federal Reserve.
Mandy Chan
Investors are going be looking carefully at today's retail sales for any sign that consumer spending may be slowing. Oil is also up for a third consecutive day. We know oil is a major concern for the Federal Reserve and elevated oil prices are one of the reasons why the Fed has taken a very aggressive stance on monetary policy.
Kent Engelke
Our stance is that you need to ensure stability in metropolitan areas that account for about 78 percent of the AIDS epidemic and, at the same time, continue to focus on getting more resources to places in the country where the epidemic continues to emerge – like in Southern and rural areas. But you can't do that at the expense or destabilization of places like New York.
Robert Cordero
That decision was definitely not made from pressure from the school board. It was made in light of our stance at the time in terms of political advertising.
Gary Taylor
We're still sorting it all out, ... But if we didn't take a strong stance, do we think something like this could happen again? It could.
Susan Gray
Far from hardening our position, ... I think it's fair to say we have been flexible and forthcoming in our negotiating stance.
David Andrews
One sticking point is their stance on nuclear power. They have a policy that they won't allow any nuclear-powered ships into their territorial waters.
Terry Pope
We feel like the lawsuit was filed prematurely. They don't take possession of the facility until June 1, and the city's stance has always been not to worry, a functional equivalent will be available.
Jeff Capell
Foreigners were generally beefing up their weighting in Asia. They were extremely underweight in Asia not too long ago and they are trying to get a neutral stance.
Mark Julliem
I applaud Elk Grove for the stance they are taking.
Jerry Adams
We support the stance of our ally against armed provocation.
Brenda Greenberg
Wonder is not a Pollyanna stance, not a denial of reality; wonder is an acknowledgment of the power of the mind to transform.
Christina Baldwin
We have been so disenchanted about our ability to get access to broadband pipes that we felt like we needed to take a more proactive stance. Our model would prefer that we be a non-facilities-based provider, but if you don't have people who own the network willing to sell it to you at a price that you can make a living, you've got to change the name of the game.
Garry Betty
We will leave numbers unchanged and retain our neutral stance based on valuation.
Chris Millington
He's been working hard on staying closed (in his stance) and he did a good job.
Matt Mccool
Sentiment going forward is cautious, which seems to be a trend in this economic recovery cycle, but capital spending plans are firm, indicating that companies are continuing to push ahead in business activity despite a cautious stance.
Mamoru Yamazaki
On the outside we have given the S80 a more, youthful and dynamic stance. Inside we have created an even more inviting atmosphere with refined materials and colors that blend smoothly with smart, user-friendly technology.
Steve Mattin
I like the proactive stance the city is taking.
Larry Wells
I hope the US will stick to its stance of opposing 'Taiwan independence', be cautious in action and give no chance to the 'Taiwan independence' force.
Qian Qichen
We insist on the same stance that we won?t compete in the by-election.
Chulin Laksanaviset
Growth continues at a very high pace and energy prices have increased considerably over the past year, so the Fed will say, 'okay, we have to prevent those energy prices from being built into all goods and services,' ... The Fed is not going to ease its stance on raising rates.
Robert Heller
There was a feeling of too many uncivil acts on campus. This was to inform the floors and have the floors take a stance that this is not acceptable.
Paul Goldblatt
People are waiting to see what kind of change in policy language is going to accompany that statement. The question is, if the Fed is approaching (a neutral stance), how will its policy change in 2006?
Russ Koesterich
It appears the battle will start tomorrow and investors are understandably taking a nervous stance. Investors are lightening up on long positions just as they did yesterday afternoon.
Hiroshi Sato
With the rate verdict due later, there's a cautious mood creeping into equity markets as although a 25-basis-point hike is widely expected, there's little consensus as to just how long the aggressive stance over interest rates will now continue for.
Matt Buckland
In terms of the stance of the payment of the bill, the owner does have to pay the bill, and that's indeed what it'll take to get the water back on.
Lance Hedquist
They got it together from week before, standing still in their stance and firing off the line together.
Shawn Miller
Since we have caused a nuisance to the society, our basic stance is to track down the whereabouts of every last one of them.
Akira Kadota
We're coming off such a low base, higher rates will be more of a confirmation of an economic recovery than a dampening on corporate profits, ... We've been long on a lot of sectors tied to economic recovery and growth, and we're not going to change that stance, even after the first rate increase.
Joe Kalinowski
We are hearing some pretty good news, but we have to take a wait-and-see stance and see if they deliver when they report.
John Jacobs
India has become a soft target for Islamic fundamentalists. Moreover, the Uttar Pradesh government has a soft stance towards fundamentalists. It could have acted after the intelligence report but it did not.
Uma Bharti
Bruce Arena is very capable and he changes something every game. We have to wait until the right moment, which is the first minute of the game, to see the team's stance and whether they are offensive or not.
Ricardo Lavolpe
Iceland's stance, in joining the commission while having a reservation about the moratorium on commercial whaling, is an act of bad faith.
Richard Page
Our official stance has always been it was a good case.
John Urquhart
The numbers we've seen over the past few months have to make them feel better about their stance in monetary policy. It will allow them to remove some of the pressure they feel to maybe raise rates, and in effect move toward lowering rates.
Brian Wesbury
The market is very stressed out. But now it is hoping that the Central Bank changes its stance in favor of the market to soak up some [dollar] liquidity with shorter debt notes.
Renato Lobo
We expect a neutral monetary policy stance in 2006, but much will depend on movements in the rand and the performance of mining and manufacturing.
Dennis Dykes
There seems to be a kind of order in the universe, in the movement of the stars and the turning of the earth and the changing of the seasons, and even in the cycle of human life. But human life itself is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own rights and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.
Katherine Anne Porter
I was used to having a better field of vision. When I was in my stance before, I didn't turn my head as much. It was kind of tough to get used to, but it's kind of benefited me so I have to turn my head more.
Maggie Combs
In general, higher education does not know how to speak for its interests. It offers a stance that is defensive, cowardly and likely to be ineffective.
Stanley Fish
Well, we think for those people who expect that the Bank of Japan will adopt a looser stance, they're going to be disappointed. All the indications we've seen so far coming out the central bank is that they are going to keep things exactly where they are.
Jeremy Hawkins
The hardliners' stance was forcing the country toward crisis. So the leader had to interfere.
Saeed Leylaz
Bond investors are discounting a slowing economy in the months ahead. Equity investors see a rebound ahead, and that instead of acting as a brake on the economy, the Fed's continuing hawkish stance is likely to serve as a sign that all is well, ... If you ask me, it sounds like at least one group of investors has been smoking something.
Michael Panzner
Microsoft continues to take a confrontational stance.
James Governor
Their stance is very convenient, ... They are saying they should gain market share when they haven't earned it. AMD isn't a victim of anything but its own bad decisions.
Bruce Sewell
We changed her stance. She hit the hell out of the ball.
Dick Bailey
This announcement is certainly consistent with China's tougher (more disciplined) stance in the iron ore contract negotiations.
Malcolm Southwood
It is too early to write the dollar off just yet. I'm not convinced that the best is over for the dollar. The market has moved to a stance that is too dovish on the Fed.
David Mozina
In watching the tapes, I wasn't down in the stance on some of the shots I missed that I needed to make. That's what helped me tonight. Once I get in a groove, I close my eyes and shoot it sometimes.
Tony Bethel
Really, he just spread his stance out, shortened his stride and a little patience always helps. That's been the major difference with him.
Terry Pendleton
I don't think Ma can please everyone in Taiwan ... but probably some middle-level voters will feel more comfortable with his predictable and pragmatic stance.
Philip Yang
I think they're looking to throw in some support and do that 'rah, rah' thing, ... But it doesn't change the customer service (issues), Lowe's infringement and cannibalization. It doesn't change anything fundamentally. This is a reactive stance from them.
Brian Postol
The radical left is coming up with false claims of racism because they don't like his pro-life stance or his faith in God.
Beverly Lahaye
If you really feel like you're a different band and you're that much better than you were, then you should change your name. That's a silly stance to take, because you're just going to disappoint people. Your early stuff is what people really attached themselves to. There aren't any songs that we won't play because we don't like them and don't think they're good.
Dan Andriano
Cricket South Africa welcomes this tough public stance taken by Cricket Australia in the fight against racism.
Gerald Majola
It's a sign of the frustration many Alaskans show with Sen. Cantwell and her stance on ANWR. It's highly unlikely we'd cut off our nose to spite her face.
Mike Chambers
We will take a firm stance. Taiwan's identity should be given priority over conciliation in dealing with China over the next two years and a half. That is the message from President Chen.
James Huang
The department's stance is still that we would prefer to finance it through conventional means.
Matt Vanover
Native Americans never took a stance; we've always respected the earth. Anytime we do something that will affect nature, we ask ourselves, how will this affect seven generations? The earth is our mother, the sky is our father, and everything in between is our brothers and sisters. Everybody deserves respect and the right to be listened to.
Dale Carson
Koizumi's major victory in the election may push forward discussions on raising the consumption tax. But Koizumi is unlikely to change his stance of not raising the tax during his tenure, so any tax increase would be after 2007.
Takehiro Sato
It seems to me he's doing this in part to rehabilitate his public image. He claims he doesn't give a damn, that he doesn't read negative articles, but [when he coached at Indiana] he always knew when a reporter had written negative stuff and he would scream at that reporter. Contrary to his public [stance], obviously he is a person that cares a lot about what's said about him.
Murray Sperber
The government still is claiming that the economy is okay. And if the economy's okay, then there's no reason to change it's fiscal stance. The mere fact that the market has gone down 10 percent doesn't really matter in economic terms.
Richard Jerram
It was a massive decision for the manager to make, but you cannot have players thinking they can run a club. Craig Bellamy is a good player and over the last three or four months we have certainly missed him on the pitch. But the manager made his stance and was justified in doing so.
Terry Mcdermott
Middle East rulers are delighted at the prospect of a less demanding stance from the American government.
Fawaz Gerges
The PFL has hardened its stance and people are scared it will delay passage of the CPMF through the Senate.
Luiz Marcos Prudencio
Cyclical sectors are at high valuations, justifying a more defensive stance.
Alexander Young
Our troopers will take a proactive stance in our effort to make the roads safe for residents and those who are traveling.
Lt. Michael Darcy
I was very pleased with pars on the last two holes, especially on the 18th, where I had a bad stance in the bunker at the back of the green.
Henrik Stenson
It was unfortunate that the players had to take such a stance and maybe it was immaturity on the part of some of them. Genuine concerns will always be addressed through proper channels but I believe we should not lose focus of the job at hand at the finals in Egypt.
Rafik Khan
We have adopted a more positive stance in retail and wholesale banking following strong cost containment in 2006.
Nicholas Byrne
In general, our stance is that the greatest threat to a depressed person is to receive no treatment at all.
Jason Young
Ken has a superior knowledge of the marine industry. His proven leadership and business acumen will ensure that our company continues to be steered on a clear course toward providing our customers with the best possible products, services and facilities, while maintaining our stance and focus as an industry leader.
George Jousma
For a church to affirm a sinful behavior is for that church to conduct a fruitless and deceptive ministry. Regardless of the good intentions of Pastor Haney, the ministry his church has facilitated and that he personally supports is a ministry quite unlikely to confront homosexual behavior as a sin. That stance is contrary to Scripture.
Gary Ledbetter
I couldn't even get in a defensive stance, so I told Coach I couldn't go. It's great now. It's weird. I can't even explain it.
Jason Fisher
The company remains the dominant operator in music retail, but its aggressive online promotional stance continues to threaten the company's earnings trajectory.
Matthew Fassler
What we will maybe remember most as representative of the cardinal's stance toward our community is the closed doors of the cathedral. And that's sad in some way.
Brendan Fay
We believe Carole has the best chance of winning in November. She has the money in her campaign, she has the background and she has the best stance on the issues.
Richard Kouri
[The EU executive will] at technical...level find out what the truth is in these stories, ... In that sense, we will check the accuracy of those reports..then further define our stance.
Friso Roscam Abbing
No agreement in the talks shows the US side does not change its previous stance, and the textile trade prospect between the two countries becomes more uncertain.
Sun Huaibin
This is a classic trade-union stance.
Norman Solomon
There are several issues on which Washington should not fool itself - a Merkel government would take the same stance on (the) Kyoto (Protocol on global warming) and the environment as well on as the International Criminal Court.
Martin Koopmann
It really doesn't make sense for Japan to keep giving the aid because China's economic development has been remarkable. But this may give the impression that Japan is taking a more decisive stance against China.
Shigenori Okazaki
King was persistent in her words and deeds of encouragement. She never wavered from her stance of non-violence as the only viable option for change.
Willie Pearson
I've been struggling, pulling my head out. The coaches have been working with me on changing to a stance where I could keep my head in better.
Justin Lane
The Democrats need to take a strong stance when addressing their political concerns, ... They need to take it and repeat it. They need to not shrink back from opposition and stop apologizing.
Robert Entman
He's got to do what he's got to do, but I wish he would go on and get this thing resolved and get on in here. It's none of my business. He knows my stance on everything.
Darryl Drake
I worked on my stance, and it felt good to get some good at-bats and a couple of hits off right-handers. I'm trying to reverse it a bit.
Lance Niekro
I think it is pretty spineless. There are no names on the card. It didn't come from anyone in particular. They never called me or asked my opinion or my stance on any of the issues that they are claiming are my platform.
Jerry Lawrence
My take is that the Fed will continue to raise overnight rates until it feels it has moved from a stimulative to a neutral policy stance. That will likely take the funds rate to 4 per cent-to-4.25 per cent by yearend.
Sherry Cooper
The report will keep the Bank of Canada anxious about the inflationary threat it has allowed to build due to its easy policy stance in 2005.
Peter Frank
The last five days I've made some adjustments and changed my stance, and it's helped me quite a bit. I've had some hits going into tonight and that made me feel comfortable up there. I definitely have to keep working, and I won't stop. Even if I'm a regular for the rest of my career, I'll always push the same way I'm doing now.
Jason Repko
It's something those guys are going to have to do. Because of our lack of depth, we do a lot of individual work on coming out of a left-hand stance, coming out of a right-hand stance. They're going to have to continue to work on the things they've got to do to keep the best five guys on the football field.
Bob Connelly
I just felt like we needed to line up quicker. We weren't lackadaisical or anything like that. I just think we needed to get in our stance faster because they can come up and snap the ball at any time. So if we do that, we'll be in better shape to play.
Doug Justice
He remained one of the top leaders through the entire process. This is no default stance; it's not a game of chicken and he was the last one to blink. He is the man who will lead the Clark County School District into the future and he will carry the responsibilities that this board will continue to give him.
Ruth Johnson
At this point, I believe inflation and inflation expectations will be largely contained by competitive market forces and continuing adjustments to the stance of monetary policy.
Jack Guynn
Nikon has taken a fairly conservative stance on the fourth quarter and could very well revise up again. I see no reason why they can't beat 60 billion yen.
Hisashi Moriyama
This is definitely a change in the Bank of Japan's stance so it will have a psychological impact and keep the yen soft.
Rob Hayward
I think Greenspan basically said the obvious, that long rates are too low and against his desire for the economy to grow ... His comments indicated that the Fed will remain in a tightening stance and that we should see further raising as the year progresses.
Ben Halliburton
Basically, the market mood hasn't changed from yesterday. Investors are taking a wait-and-see stance before Fukui's press conference.
Osamu Tamada
I just stayed in a better stance. He hit four low singles (Wednesday) and I couldn't get away from him.
Chad Biddle
Gustavo Franco had a good relationship with international banks and this change is very traumatic. Everything now is going to be related to Fernando Henrique (Cardoso)'s stance and that of Congress.
Adauto Lima
However, it is too early for the bank to know just how big the impact of the hurricane will be and, hence, too early for them to reconsider their neutral stance.
Michael Thomas
Olson's comments reaffirmed our views on the Fed's stance for further interest-rate hikes. The Fed's focus is on inflation. The dollar remains strong.
Masaki Fukui
But it's tough going back and forth [to defense]. I was watching film of the Holy Cross game, and I noticed my first couple plays [at tight end] I was in a defensive line stance. I looked like a fool.
Sean Sweeney
It brings everybody back to a better negotiating stance. You don't have unrealistic sellers and you have buyers that can take their time and breathe when they are buying. It makes for a better win-win situation for everybody involved.
Susan Lowe
The Commission has sided with the general employer offensive on working time. Now the Commission has failed in its duty, the ETUC expects the Parliament to confirm its earlier stance and protect Europe's citizens from longer and longer working hours.
John Monks
First he wants to cut the grass under the feet of other elements in the regime that favor a more open stance with the U.S.. Secondly, he's a pure product of the revolution, who is just not interested in diplomacy. And finally, the situation in Iraq makes him feel in a position of strength, as an attack from the U.S. or Israel looks highly unlikely at the moment.
Olivier Roy
We're being a bit cautious up in Singapore and have taken a pro-active stance there.
Scott Morrison
The House bill basically punted most responsibilities to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Senate bill takes a more aggressive stance in protecting investors, in our opinion.
Tyson Slocum
He's delivering a warning shot. The message is that they don't appear to see any problem with having monetary policy in a restrictive stance for some time.
Cameron Bagrie
They still don't feel comfortable, and they haven't been given the tools to know how to direct the employees, ... When they don't take any corrective stance, that's when inappropriate behavior rises to sexual harassment.
Anne Covey
The issue is will [Greenspan] have a more hawkish stance than he has (had) before. I think he will because I think that's what the Fed started to do with changing the statement.
Adrian Schmidt
If I look at what we have in the product pipeline, and what we have licensed in, I maintain our stance that we can manage with organic growth.
Franz Humer
The hike in pump prices, and electricity and gas tariffs that have also been raised, fed through to overall consumer prices. Given that the MAS expects a higher pass-through from oil, and for inflation to be higher even in 2006, the current policy stance will remain appropriate.
Euben Paracuelles
We are going to try to stop that law from passing. We're not going to be frustrated. We're going to use the legitimate means available to us, and make the whole nation know our stance.
Essam Mukhtar
This does not involve a change in the stance of monetary policy. It is a technical change.
