[...] The intrusion on the rights of others the race of arments the multiplication of the agencies of destruction for the annihilation of the innocent civilians of the epected belligerent countries and the spirit of intoleance that is rampant in many parts are some of the symptoms of the malaise" which affects the world. [...] It is the disregard of the principle of Live and Let Live" and the assertion of the rights of the particular against the rights of the universal that should be curbed and suppressed and the war psychosis that such a spirit engenders extirpated before we can glance down the vista of the future with complacence. [...] The hearts of men and women in the Orient began to beat in unison with the hearts of those in the Occident; the fairest of Arabs and Persians intermingled in terms of closest intimacy with the darkest of Ethiopians; and the most abject of human beings the slaves became not only commanders-in-chief of armies and governors of prvinces but were in the Muslim world raised to the status of roya [...] He is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth the Merciful the Compassionate the Glorious the Magnificent the Beautful the Eternal the Infinite the First and the Last.
