"Di masa lalu, intervensi asing jelas merupakan masalah besar. Dominasi asing, atau jika bukan dominasi, gangguan. Tapi itu sudah berakhir. Tidak ada dominasi asing; ada sedikit campur tangan asing. Perang Dingin telah berakhir. Uni Soviet tidak ada lagi. Amerika Serikat menunjukkan minat minimal dan semakin berkurang di dunia Muslim. Mereka sekarang harus menghadapi masalah mereka sendiri. Alasan lama hilang. Pembenaran lama hilang dan karenanya kemarahan orang semakin berbalik melawan penguasa mereka sendiri."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

In the past, foreign intervention was obviously a major problem. Foreign domination, or if not domination, interference. But that has ended. There is no foreign domination; there is minimal foreign interference. The Cold War has ended. The Soviet Union no longer exists. The United States is showing minimal and diminishing interest in the Muslim world. They now have to confront their own problems. The old excuses are gone. The old justifications are gone and therefore the anger of people is turning increasingly against their own rulers.
