"The clash we are witnessing ... is not a clash of religions, or
a clash of civilizations.
It is a clash between two opposites, between two eras. It is a clash
between a mentality that belongs to the Middle Ages and another
mentality that belongs to the 21st century. It is a clash between
civilization and backwardness, between the civilized and the
primitive, between barbarity and rationality. It is a clash between
freedom and oppression, between democracy and dictatorship. It is a
clash between human rights, on the one hand, and the violation of
these rights, on the other hand. It is a clash between those who treat
women like beasts, and those who treat them like human beings."
