It was mentioned here earlier that sometimes the Arab Spring that was supported by us westerners did not bring the best results.
I was talking to some people, especially the Copts, who say that they were much better off with Mubarak, and even today, than they were when they had a democratic government there. How do we understand this? It's not easy to say. But at the same time, we know that they are organized, the teachers of Islam. I mentioned before that in Christianity we have made mistakes. It's about time they realized that what they are doing is harming Islam more than harming anybody else. It's harming their people more than they're harming the rest of the people.
I don't know whether I'm on subject, but I would like to say something else here. In England, remember that it was reported in the news that some Muslims said, “We don't care about your laws. We have to obey the laws of God.” God is not only the one that they believe in. We must think here: is it a false god that we believe in when we teach things like this? And how should we respect the freedom of the individual? I personally believe that freedom is the element that makes human beings perfect. Without freedom, a man or a woman is not a perfect human being.
We have to think about those things. As I said in my introductory remarks, we should find the long solution rather than the solution of the day, because unless we change the thinking of the people—especially the Muslim people—we are not going to be able to do anything. That's what I believe.
