that the house is there and
instead of
tearing it down and rebuilding
a house
if it's a beautiful house with
with with
a solid foundation we need to
renovate
it to make it new again
absolutely
well it's that's the same task
that we
have in the West but of course
there is
we have the freedom to do it
that's the
important thing that many
people worry
about about the Muslim world do
people
have the freedom to do what do
you want
to do well I think you're
certainly
doing your role in in promoting
the idea
of conserving the best of the
past my
last question to you one of the
things
that troubles me most about a
lot of
attacks on conservativism is
the idea
that the best of progressivism
like the
elimination of slavery the the
the the
idea of getting rid of racism
as you
know the this this idea of
somehow that
there can be ethnically Pirie
or 'ti of
one people over now I believe
that there
there are civilizational
aspects that
are certainly I think I would
much
rather have freedom in than
despotism
and this idea that we can
relativize
these type things is wrong but
the idea
that one group of people is
better than
another group is a very
audience idea I
think to anybody that has
thought deeply
about that problem but this
idea that
conservativism is conserving
the worst
of the past as opposed to the
best and
and is not also acknowledging
the idea
that there are things that have
to
change and then it becomes what
are the
strategies to bring about that
change
that that are going to go I
would say as
I understand it of course human
beings
are imperfect that's the whole
reason
why they need institutions in
order to
mediate between them and
overcome
conflict without violence you
know
but we have inherited those
sort of
institutions institutions that
enable us
to rectify problems and make
things
better we're never going to
make them
perfect but that's why we what
we should
be conserving there is
procedures the
things that that enable us to
relate to
each other in a humane and
civilized way
and that's that for me is what
it's all
about
all right well on that note I
want to
thank you just for coming out
