My position attracts a fair amount of rumors and gossip and misperceptions, but I’d rather not focus on that.

I don’t think people by nature are extremists. You will never find a population of extremists. Extremists have existed throughout the centuries on all religions. And what happens is, extremists start to have more leverage when the situation is bad.

I don’t believe that there is fair enough understanding of either our status as women or the total context of our lives, which is very rich and multi-faceted.

Maybe clothes are a form of creative expression for me. An outlet. Because I don’t get to express myself creatively through my official duties.

We shouldn’t judge people through the prism of our own stereotypes.

Judging People Stereotype
Extremism is not endemic in my region, nor is anti-Western sentiment. No doubt there is discontent and distrust. That is towards more the American and some Western policies, and not toward the American people.
