“Cinema is the ultimate pervert art. It doesn't give you what you desire - it tells you how to desire.”

“ماذا يفعل هؤلاء العرب من المحيط إلى الخليج ؟ ., لقد أعطونا الساعات واخذوا الزمن , أعطونا الأحذية واخذوا الطرقات , اعطونا البرلمانات واخذوا الحرية , أعطونا العطر والخواتم واخذوا الحب , اعطونا الاراجيح واخذوا الأعياد , أعطونا الحليب المجفف واخذوا الطفولة , أعطونا السماد الكيماوي واخذوا الربيع , أعطونا الحراس والإقفال واخذوا الأمان ,أعطونا الثوار واخذوا الثوره”

“If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.”

“There are secularised cultures, but at the core of all of them, the spirit of Tradition remains, religious or otherwise. By defending the multiplicity, plurality and polycentrism of cultures, we are making an appeal to the principles of their essences, which we can only find in the spiritual traditions. But we try to link this attitude to the necessity for social justice and the freedom of differing societies in the hope for better political regimes. The idea is to join the spirit of Tradition with the desire for social justice. And we don’t want to oppose them, because that is the main strategy of hegemonic power: to divide Left and Right, to divide cultures, to divide ethnic groups, East and West, Muslims and Christians. We invite Right and Left to unite, and not to oppose traditionalism and spirituality, social justice and social dynamism. So we are not on the Right or on the Left. We are against liberal postmodernity. Our idea is to join all the fronts and not let them divide us. When we stay divided, they can rule us safely. If we are united, their rule will immediately end. That is our global strategy. And when we try to join the spiritual tradition with social justice, there is an immediate panic among liberals. They fear this very much.”
