Fanaticism And Terrorism Have No Place In

I Worked As A Teacher In The Public School System In New York City For Several Years, And I Was A Victim Of The Layoffs, You Know, In The Mid-'70s. And Then I Worked As A Sales Engineer For A Company In New Jersey That Was Selling Industrial Filtration Equipment.

I Am A Supporter Of The State Of Israel.

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.

One Of The Misperceptions That Exists In The Muslim World, Which Needs To Be Fixed, Is The Perception That Muslims In America Are - Are - Are Living In - In Very, Very, Very Bad Circumstances. They Cannot Practice Religion Freely. It Is Not The Truth At All. The Fact Is, We Are Practicing. We Fast, We Pray, We Do Our Prayers.

The Ultimate Vision Is To Instate In The Muslim World The Notion Of Multiculturalism, Which Is Part Of Our Heritage And History, Part Of The Fundamental, Mainstream Ideals Of Islam.
