The quality isn't that great towards the end of the clip; however, it's still worth watching all the way through. I'm afraid I don't have any details on where the video comes from... I just came across it on YouTube.

"What upsets me and scares me is the naïveté of the American voter, because the American voter gets to decide basically, what happens to us... and I would really feel much safer if the American voter knew what he was doing because the ballot that you put in, dictates how we live..."

"... when Americans look at the Arab world, they look at it from an economical or political point of view. They want to hear about Arab oil, Arab guns, but they never want to hear about Arab culture, Arab history, and Arab achievements. This area of the world has been largely neglected..."

"I remember when 9/11 happened, I remember how affected I was. I almost choked on my tears. It made no difference to me that it was America or Saudi Arabia or Africa of anywhere. What was important was that it deeply affected me. But I'm not sure if I told an American youth, a bomb exploded in Iran killing 500, if they would care?"
