We cannot have a society, in which some dictator some place can start imposing censorship here in the United States.

Even as Ramadan holds profound meaning for the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims, it is also a reminder to people of all faiths of our common humanity and the commitment to justice, equality, and compassion shared by all great faiths.

There isn't anyone who can't serve ... nobody who can't help somebody else.
