May Allah guide us to the good of the kingdom of Bahrain and its loyal people.

Bahrainis are better off than many other Arabs. We have a welfare state, everybody gets a salary whether they have a job or not. Electricity and food are subsidized school and healthcare are free. And we don't differentiate between Bahrainis and foreigners. We are very proud of that.

There is no ethnic cleansing in Bahrain, no mass genocide, no policy of killing innocent people.

If you like your brother and he's prospering, you'll be pleased for him.

The decision to open up Bahrain to embrace all people indiscriminately was fostered in me ever since I was a child.

May Allah guide us to the good of the kingdom of Bahrain and its loyal people.

It's good to have a leader, otherwise we argue too much.
