the answers you normally get is to look at the gandhi's, or look at the nelson mandela's or look at therks'. but what they basically tell you is these are people that are driven by a strong sense of purpose. if a person like rosa parks, by not standing up on the bus, can change the face of racial segregation in the u.s., then any individual in its own circle can make a difference. what we see is everybody can be a leader. what you have to do is encourage that. we have a lot of efforts in place. our training programs have been adapted. we work with these foundations. and have people worked there, so career paths have been changed from conventional career paths. we bring in examples from other companies. there are many ceos, but also others, that have shown that. and that gives us courage. but ultimately what gives courage to do what we do -- and it should be true for everybody -- is that we realize why we do this. ultimately, we do this because we actually belong to a very small percentage of the population, which i estimate to be about 2%. that was educated. that has comfortable jobs. t

a moderate believes in the wisdom of gandhi which says religions are different roads emerging to the same point. what does it matter that we take different roads so long as we reach the same goal? moderates fight evil by not remaining bystanders. they stand up to extremists committing terror and violence in the name of god and strive to spread the values of moderation, reconciliation, tolerance and co-existence? moderation leads to reconciliation, reconciliation leads to peace and peace leads to democracy and democracy leads to stability, security, and prosperity. so we have to have an open mind to be able to be moderate and in this way it leads to security eventually. the enemy is fear. we think it is hate but it is fear. ban du was right. even today the enemy today the fear and not hate. even a christian now today when he says muslims should not be part of this community or should not come here it is fear that is actual actually telling him. extremists won't be eradicated by waging war of hate but by having islam and muslim moderates as an ally to conquer fear by promoting moderati
