hat about that other undifferentiated mass? >> with all the ambiguity and he language which is causing a lot of suffering because islamism means different things to different people, i came up with a hypothesis that was very imprudent on my part right after february 2011. i had been here for 14 years, but i know egypt so well that i can tell you the population wants islam light. don't say anything bad about the prophet. but don't ask them to do ive-time prayers -- that is my sense of the majority. that's based on living there for 26 years. eople have to recognize, don't push people either toward a kind of liberalism. people don't pray and they feel bad when somebody who used to pray doesn't pray anymore. they feel hurt. so analyze this. somebody who never praise would feel bad because somebody used to pray. they would like to feel some people are religious, just not themselves. this is very puzzling. i can think of an american analogy but let me not go that far. these things just exist in society. we cannot think of this -- it'

otherbout that undifferentiated mass? with all the ambiguity and causing age which is lot of suffering because islamism means different things to different people, i came up with a hypothesis that was very imprudent on my part right after february 2011. years,een here for 14 but i know egypt so well that i populationu the wants islam light. don't say anything bad about the prophet. don't ask them to do five- time prayers -- that is my sense of the majority. on living there for 26 years. people have to recognize, don't push people either toward a kind .f liberalism people don't pray and they feel bad when somebody who used to pray doesn't pray anymore. they feel hurt. so analyze this. somebody who never praise would feel bad because somebody used to pray. they would like to feel some people are religious, just not themselves. [laughter] this is very puzzling. i can think of an american analogy but let me not go that far. these things just exist in society. this -- it'snk of 90 million people and i'm not even sure there are

what about the undifferentiated mass? that was referred to?>> with all ambiguity in the language because it means different things to different people, i came up with a hypophysis that wasn't prudent on my part idea understand i had been here 14 years but i know egypt so well that i can tell you population wants is long flight that if we don't say anything bad about the profit but don't ask them to do prayer's. talking about the majority my intuition could be totally wrong but based on living there 26 years. at this moment people have to recognize. [laughter] so this is the analogy. it is true we cannot just talk as if islamism or the army is more complicated. there are 90 million and we're not even sure it is just 19 million. >> i think the issue at hand to which decisions are made is crucial for progress. and again, your question brings up the issue that said 20 or 30 million but these numbers are just numbers with no basis because no one said they had any basis. the three have no grounds for making claims then as long as they're not based o

what about that other undifferentiated mass, which i think professor ahmad atif ahmad was referring to>> so, i mean, with of ambiguity in the language which was causing us a lot of suffering. islamism means different things to different people. i agree with you. i came up with a hypothesis that was very imprudent on my part, but right after 2011. i have been here for 14 years, but i know he did so well that i can tell you that the population wants islam lights. does say anything bad about the profit incentive you. they will hurt you. but that is my sense of the majority. one of these intuitions could be totally wrong, but it was based on living there for 26 years. in this moment, people have to recognize, do not push people either towards the kind of liberalism and understood in a social and moral sense that pushes them away. people don't pray. they feel bad when somebody used to break is not pay any more. they feel terrible. analyze this. somebody you never praise would feel bad. soho.
