39. Are you hopeful for the future of
the Muslim community?

Yes, I am very hopeful, provided they abandon violence at all cost. Be it Palestine or Kashmir, they should take no excuse and adopt peace unilaterally. Once they do so, they will allow the conscience of the other party to be awakened. Peace is essentially interwoven in the nature of every individual and will therefore certainly prevail if it is allowed to. Just as soil is necessary for the growth of a tree, peace is necessary for any community to flourish.
