Striving for brevity, wit, & soul. Not necessarily in that order.

 

As a citizen, and as President, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country. And that includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America. And our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country and that they will not be treated differently by their government is essential to who we are.

I may not agree with the President on a number of issues, but friends, he and I see things eye to eye here.  In no way, shape, or form can we campaign for Freedom in any capacity if we discriminate on the basis of religion.

I’m with the President and the Mayor on this.
