I'm amazed by the misconceptions about Muslim women and the Arab world that I hear, and that really does hurt me.

We need another revolution in the Arab world. We need an education revolution. If there's one thing we need to focus on, it's redesigning our educational systems.

The Arab World is writing a new future; the pen is in our own hands.

We want to be, I think, an example for the rest of the Arab world, because there are a lot of people who say that the only democracy you can have in the Middle East is the Muslim Brotherhood.

Holy scripture does not hold women back. It's the people that decide to interpret it in such a way for their own, sometimes political, agendas.

The U.S. media have done a shameful job of reporting on the Arab world.
