I'm Muslim the way many of my Jewish friends are Jewish: I avoid pork, and I take the big holidays off.

I don't want to tell people what they should think.

If you don't acknowledge differences, it's as bad as stereotyping or reducing someone.

I think you had the GOP down there in North Carolina reaching out to African-American voters and this guy coming on television and using the N-word and saying what Don Yelton said.

You can get samosas in any pub in England today, pretty much. So, "Gunga Din" has come back.

There's no school that you can go to and learn how to be a "Daily Show" correspondent and how to interview people and, you know, essentially leave your soul outside the door and go in there and kind of, you know, destroy people's lives sometimes.

I think Islam has been hijacked by the idea that all Muslims are terrorists; that Islam is about hate, about war, about jihad - I think that hijacks the spirituality and beauty that exists within Islam. I believe in allowing Islam to be seen in context and in its entirety and being judged on what it really is, not what you think it is.
