”اقول الشريعة واجبه وهي حق ، ولكن الطريق إليها ليس العقاب وحده ، ولكن الإصلاح أولاً … لابد من إصلاح إيجابي يجعل الفضيله ممكنه قبل أن نعاقب تاركها“

Translation	I say that the [following of the] Shariah (Islamic law) is obligatory [on the Muslims] and that it is truth, but the road to it is not just punishment, but reform first. There needs to be positive reform that makes good behavior possible before we punish those who leave said behavior.
