Clarity and consistency are not enough: the quest for truth requires humility and effort.

Lack of consistency is a weakness shared by all nations.

It is only through the opposition of ideas that we can learn to be self-critical, to work towards intellectual humility.

Terror will crash down on us if we fail to understand that a pluralistic society requires the personal and daily commitment of every citizen.

We must master our egoism, and through this mastery, step outside ourselves and educate ourselves in giving. Fasting requires that we rediscover all that is alive around us, and reconcile ourselves with our environment.

This simple truth is the essence of my message to Muslims throughout the world: know who you are, who you want to be, and start talking and working with whom you are not. Find common values and build with fellow citizens a society based on diversity and equality.
