“ان الديني السياسي محصور بكل بساطه بين امرين ملزمين : ان عدم الايمان فضيحه ..لكن الايمان لا يكون الا فردياً ولا يعمل هذا الديني السياسي الا علي المبدأ القائل بأن الجميع يجب ان يكونوا مؤمنين لكنه لا يستطيع ان يضمن هذا الايمان و عليه اذاً ان يفرض يتقيد بالمظهر وهو بالتالي ما يمنعه من تقديم نفسه علي انه تعبير عن ايمان تتقاسمه جمعه بأسرها”

“had campaigned hard to the very end, but Barack had won and now it was time to support him. The causes and people I had campaigned for, the Americans who had lost jobs and health care, who couldn’t afford gas or groceries or college, who had felt invisible to their government for the previous seven years, now depended on his becoming the forty-fourth President of the United States.”

“I had known Mubarak and his wife, Suzanne, for nearly twenty years. He was a career Air Force officer who had risen through the ranks to become Vice President under Anwar Sadat, the Egyptian ruler who fought the Yom Kippur War with Israel in 1973 and later signed the Camp David Accords. Mubarak was injured in the extremist attack that assassinated Sadat in 1981, but he survived, became President, and cracked down hard on Islamists and other dissidents. He ruled Egypt like a pharaoh with nearly absolute power for the next three decades.”
