..."The pan-Arab movements that have taken over the Arab nation forced a certain ideology upon the Arab citizens, upon the Arab youth, and they follow this ideology like sheep. When the youth encountered globalization, they found themselves new breathing space. The Arab youth runs away from confronting [reality]. They run away to the virtual worlds of reality TV and the Internet."...

..."Don't you feel ashamed that out of the 500 leading universities worldwide, there isn't a single Arab university? What are you people doing about this? Among the 500 leading universities in the world, there is no Arab university, no Arab institute."...

..."These are not universities. In the words of my friend Faysal, these are taming cages, corrals in which you confine people and teach them some slogans, and they clap their hands, and that's it."...

...Faysal Al-Qassem, host: "Isn't it unfair to describe the distinguished Arab universities as cages, pounds, and corrals?"

Nidhal Naisa: "What have they produced, Faysal? Have they produced a bomb with which to fight those 'infidels' and 'Crusaders'?"

Faysal Al-Qassem: "You mean in inverted commas..."

Nidhal Naisa: "Of course. Have you produced anything? What have you produced? Even an aspirin pill you import from the West, to this day. Even bread and medicine you import. What have you been doing at these universities? This indicates that these universities are not centers of production, but cages and corrals." [...]

Faysal Al-Qassem: "Is it conceivable to say that the Arab environment is a terrorist environment?"

Nidhal Naisa: "Of course. If these people had been brought up in an environment supporting human rights and love for the 'other,' an environment that glorifies love and brotherhood, rather than killing, we wouldn't be seeing these... People have turned into time bombs. Why? Because the horizons of these people are blocked."...

..."Dr. Faysal, the ruling authorities, the current dictatorships, have a monopoly on power, on politics, on natural resources, and on everything. There are no sports clubs, no Internet cafes, or places people can go to. There is nothing but hell on earth, so a person goes and throws himself in this hell. If there was a proper sports club where he could release his youthful energy, he wouldn't go to Afghanistan, brother. It is the nature of human beings to love life, but the blocked horizons, the persecution, the oppression, and the exploitation turn a human being into a time bomb, and make him blow himself up [in order to kill] the 'other.' The culture of hostility towards the 'other' is what has caused this."...
