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.

Criticizing to destroy is easy, thinking in order to build is much more difficult to achieve

We should not treat people as they treat us, we should treat them better.

You're asking me how not to doubt. Good question.My answer is, you can't. This is life

Modesty is the way you deal with beauty not the way you avoid it.

You can't say 'I don't do politics,' because silence is a political statement.

We need to deal with three things that are important: first, we need a very deep reconsideration of how we are dealing with the economy. Second, there must be a very deep reconsideration of our way of life. We cannot simply adopt American-style consumer culture. To Islamize that is to de-Islamize Islam.Thirdly, it is important for us to understand the economy and the environment are common challenges for everyone. This is where the singularity of Islamic principles needs to join the universal values that we share with others.
