يبحثُ عن مساحاتِ الاتفاق ليجعلها أرضيةً للحوار، ثم يقتربُ من مواضعِ النزاع ببطءٍ وبينةٍ وهدوءٍ، كمن يفتح قفلًا دقيقًا لا كمن يكسر بابًا

He looks for areas of agreement to make them a foundation for dialogue, then approaches the points of contention slowly, clearly, and calmly, like one opening a delicate lock, not like one breaking a door.

كَمَنْ like one

'like one who...' — the 'ka-' of comparison fused with 'one who.' It opens a simile for his careful method: like a person who eases open a delicate lock, named next.

كَمَنْ like who

'like one who...' again — the same comparison-word opening the rejected image. He is NOT like this second figure: one who smashes rather than unlocks, named next.
