Who is a liberal? Those who make films against terrorism or the ones who defend/ support terrorism through their art? Or ones who keep quiet? I think there should be an open debate on this but I don’t know if any liberal is ready for it. If you like I can do a podcast with you. https://t.co/8UJKxBgTBx

I have been inviting lots of self-proclaimed liberals to have an unedited podcast with me but they never come. Btw, this invitation is open to anybody who doesn’t agree with me… I’ll organise everything… provided their intention is dialogue and not just one way accusation. https://t.co/cDwUTU9RQu
