I've Spoken With Friends Who Are Rabbis

We Tend To Forget In The West That The United States Has More Muslim Blood On Its Hands Than Al Qaeda Has On Its Hands Of Innocent Non-muslims.

The Thing About The Islamic Situation Is We Don't Have A Church. We Don't Have An Ordained Priesthood, Which Makes It A Little Complicated. But We Do Have A Tradition Of Scholarship, And Rules Of Scholarship. It's Very Much Like Any Field Of Knowledge.

I'm Not An Agent From Any Government, Even If Some Of You May Not Believe It. I'm Not. I'm A Peacemaker.

It Is Part Of My Responsibility As A Bridge Builder To Speak The Truth About What's Great About America, What We've Done Right, And What Our Less Glorious Moments. And Many People Feel That The Iraq Adventure, For Example, Has Been One Of Our Less Glorious Moments.

A Kind Of Racism Still Exists In The United States, And Islamophobia Is A More Convenient Way To Express That Sentiment. There Has Also Been An Attempt To Paint Muslims As Enemies Of The United States.
