For me I made it clear that I wanted to meet with both sides of the political spectrum.

We need to realize that we should be on the side of any human being who is oppressed.

To be courageous is to be a voice for the voiceless

If you look at how we are destroying and disrespecting Creation it is obvious that is something is not clear in our understanding. We overemphasize rules but we don't understand the objective.

Our pluralist society must provide its citizens with the tools to understand religions, their symbols and their practices.

Muslims must decide, lest they end up divided by the very religion that calls upon them to unite.

I wouldn't call it naive but silly. History does not work like this. If you look at the dynamics of Eastern Europe or even Germany post reunification, you realize that change takes time. No one can deny the fact that we are still not there - I am advocating something which has to go from uprisings to revolutions. It is not coming straight away that it is not going to come but what we have to advocate is that the democratization process is always better than state dictatorship.
