"My country is a paradise. We are in a paradise of a country. Go to Paris today, walk down the street, trip and fall, and no one will pick you up. Only an ambulance will come and pick you up. Go to the most primitive village in the East, knock on a door, and say 'I am hungry.' Their only wealth is their animal, and they will slaughter it and feed it to you as a guest of God. There is no such noble country, no such noble people in the world. I have experienced this. This paradise homeland does not exist anywhere else in the world."
