No one should be put on trial without a valid reason. Former President Morsi must be treated with dignity. These are the conditions of national reconciliation.

Youre shooting yourself in the foot if you isolate or disempower the moderates.

Egypt is indeed deeply divided. Without reconciliation we have no future. The Muslim Brotherhood is an important part of our society. I very much hope that it will participate in the next round of talks. I will be the first to protest if the imperative of fairness isn't adhered to.

The U.S. engages with North Korea, so I dont see why they cant engage with Iran.

America is always a good target for a populist. In many countries, particularly authoritarian systems, if you want to get an extra bonus, you bash the Americans.

My conscience does not permit me to run for the presidency or any other official position unless it is within a democratic framework.

Nobody wants any country to have nuclear weapons.
