Like the wheat and the chaff, the useful ones were utilized and the kernel of truth extracted from the chaff before casting aside what was useless. Nobody, however, was pushed aside because of his beliefs. In my opinion, a society which cherishes dialogue must understand the importance of real education. And real education makes one aware that flexibility is central to maintaining and evaluating ideas. Education, like many other things, begins at home.
Good training inculcates manners that produce a cohesive society.
People learn to respect the boundaries which separate them from others. Within the schools, there must be courses, in addition to the sciences and humanities, which help our youth face the actuality of the modern world. Education in the Arab world must go beyond theories to innovation. In order to absorb the new technology and use what is good, we need to brainstorm, to produce new and more flexible ideas. Our work ethic must also change.
