A mistake by many rights activists today is that their activities do not correspond with the opinions and values of a majority of our people.

We cannot shed tears about rising xenophobia at a time when we open opportunities for a person, who is not restrained by any moral force, to ravage sacred places, spit on his fatherland, and destroy his culture. Such a person will go and kill someone else on the basis of race or faith. There is one single and indivisible morality.
