Unfortunately he is the ghost at the feast.

Rawdhat al-Wa`aizin, no. 17
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The knowledgeable man is superior to the [mere] worshipper by seventy degrees, the distance between two degrees spanning the gallop of a horse for seventy years; and this is because Satan plants an innovation amongst people which the knowledgeable man notices and prohibits, whilst the worshipper attends to his worship neither taking any notice of it nor recognising it.

@chechensky You can't eradicate religion nor is it necessary or morally acceptable to do so. What is needed is to separate religion from state, and at the same time uphold the freedom of religion with individuals.

@Shinkowawa You misunderstood him. What he means is that he will oppose the religious state because it's based on a contradiction that would only lead to tyranny. His premise is that any totalitarian form of government leads to tyranny should be opposed. Islamic state is based on totalitarian ideology, which will inevitably result in tyranny, therefore, it should be opposed and he will oppose it for moral reasons.

"Sono contro ogni ingerenza estera nelle questioni arabe: se gli arabi sono incapaci d'arrivare ad esser democratici da soli, non lo diventeranno grazie a qualcun altro": oggi più che mai, di nuovo in guerra, tali considerazioni hanno valore di verità irrefutabile. Ogni parola, ogni pensiero di questo grandissimo poeta mondiale (perché è tale, avendo studiato in Europa pur mantenendo salde radici mediorientali) è oro colato... E notate bene il sospiro sconsolato dell'intervistatore a 5'08''...
A great arab intellectual, all like minded arabs shouldn't be afraid, we need more such people inside the arab world to make in change in the sad situations and change the current paradigms and political discourse...
