but i think open system creates the spaces where we can say i disagree with you, samer, but let's agree on this and push this issue together. and that is a positive thing for tolerance if we're going to talk about tolerance. it also brings up a point though that moderation or extremism isn't a single position on a continuum. so a group does not become necessarily moderate in all aspects of everything it does. and very often what you find is an inclusive system leads to the logic of political moderation, may have nothing to do with other kinds of issues. famously with islamists, very conservative positions remain on women. elaborate debates about justifications of the roles women can play, you know, what candidates will be fielded, et cetera, criticism of certain foreign policy issues, notions of what is the best economic system, et cetera. but not mistake to say that moderation -- to the extent we might find moderation and inclusive system, you know, don't assume that a single actor will become more moderate across all issue dimensions. you have to unpack the different issue dimensions

>> samer, would you like to take that? >> no. >> but you will? >> yes. i think that, you know, maybe i'm wrong, correct me, but i think if you, you know, look at where egypt is right now, where it's been, what the current state of things are, we will be fortunate to achieve religious tolerance. and achieve equality before the law regardless of one's faith. the struggle, right now, nor should it necessarily be, for example, regarding article 2 of the egyptian constitution. islam is the religion of state. arabic is its language. the prince pms of the sharia are the primary source of legislation. exactly formulated as such. is about -- and the most liberal and realistic goal one can have is to preserve the article as is. because -- and i myself, you know, am i favor of keeping the article as is. whereas the salafis, for example, want to change the article to increase the importance of islam and the sharia by either getting rid of the principles, because the prince pms of the sharia are things that all of us can agree with. the social justice. equality. trut

samer?>> i don't know that i can begin to address that in any way, but i think what i'll agree with is that, you know, this idea of religious freedom is not as simple as one might think because i mean, as you have done, you kind much separated different dimensions of it, and, in fact, i have not gone that far. what i focused on and what i think is quite crucial at this moment and maybe that's because i'm living in this particular moment with regard to the difficulties going on in egypt right now are, and this might not exactly be religious freedom, but ideas of equality without regard to religion. it's not really religious freedom, but i think that, i think, is quite crucial at this particular moment, and i think that kind of a discourse is likely or has a better chance of succeeding in creating the kind of society and state which i think many of us would hope that egypt would become. >> if i can come back on that very point, equality under the law is what you're speaking of without regard t
