Yes, Rich, what he said was needed and mostly good. We must, though, question each time we see "Israel and the US" linked in a sentence as though we are linked at the hip. It has become clear Israel acts in her own best interest with little regard to the wishes of Washington or even the American people. Moslems have yet failed to broadly discuss the differences between Israel & the US or that Israel has the right to exist.

The broad group of Christians & Jews of the US who have stepped forward for US Moslems have provided far more than his "symbolic gestures" would indicate and far exceeds his meager estimate of "hundreds" as there have been that many here in metro Denver alone! Through all this has come forward the fact that while the Islamic community enjoys "the tolerance of the US", few of them practice equal "tolerance" much less respect for other religions.

Most of us in the US who have stepped forward in comfort & protection for our presumed Islamic brothers have done so not based on "tolerence", but rather RESPECT because it is simply what must be done under the highest Law of the Land! Have you yet heard ANY Moslem speaking up to affirm the broad application(not only for them but for all) of the US Constitutional Bill of Rights - First Amendment which states,
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

When will a single one of them get it right & directly affirm their support for the religious rights of others?
