delivered a speech. Following is the text of the speech:
"In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate.

Praise be to Allah, prayer and peace be upon the last of Prophets and
Messengers.
Your Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, the Emir of the State
of Kuwait, Chairman of the Summit,
Honorable audience,
Peace and Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you.
We and the peoples of the Arab nation hope that, Allah willing, this
economic summit will produce clear results, promising a future of
security and prosperity for every Arab and Muslim across the world.
But, whatever the importance of the economy might be, it can neither
equal life itself nor dignity without which life is not worth living.
We have witnessed over the past days bloody, painful and brutal
scenes and genocide being carried out by a criminal, inhuman, and
merciless gang as the world listened and watched. The murderers and
their supporters forgot that the Torah said "an eye for an eye"; the
Torah did not say "an eye for the eyes of a whole town."
