“We should focus on positive aspects and put aside anything else,” he added. Regarding his visit to Al-Azhar Grand Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayyeb and to Pope Tawadros, Hariri said that we, in the Middle East, are the originators of the idea of coexistence: "Muslims and Christian Arabs originated in the region, then spread out to the rest of the world." “My presence in both Al-Azhar and the Coptic church stresses that we should maintain our coexistence,” he added. “We represent moderation in the Islamic World. I refuse anything that says that all Muslims believe in these extremist ideas. We have 1.5 billion Muslims and the extremists do not exceed 50,000-100,000,” he added. Regarding the possibility that the US administration would brand the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group, in addition to the so-called "Islamic State", Hariri said that Donald Trump was elected by his people and that he has interests in the region upon which he will decide his coming policies and we are waiting for that.
