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

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

Any government that has a sincere desire for reform and progress should understand the benefit of objective and constructive criticism.

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

History shows that no enemy remains hostile forever, nor do friends remain friendly forever. For that reason, we intend to have normal relations with all.

If somebody gives me his hand, I will not look at him with suspicion.

I care about Bahrain. Bahrain is very dear to me. I will not allow people to play around with our laws.
