Today's interpretations of religion are often backward and contradict the needs of civilization.

God did not intend religion to be an exercise club.

If you want to move people, you look for a point of sensitivity, and in Egypt nothing moves people as much as religion.

In Egypt today most people are concerned with getting bread to eat. Only some of the educated understand how democracy works.

History is full of people who went to prison or were burned at the stake for proclaiming their ideas. Society has always defended itself.

...love is like health. It is taken lightly when present and cherished when it departs.
