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.

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

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

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

By being friends with all, we are not alone.

I cherished the dream of a country embracing all its people.

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