today if you go to the width up section
and you how I embrace the movie office
and found inner peace you go to Satanism
how I came to know Satan and found inner
peace I mean it's just amazing every
religion you go to the Muslim section
why I'm not a Muslim
the trouble with Islam you know anything
is wrong it's just amazing that the
people who hate Islam are defining Islam
and that's why blue Boyce's really are
absolutely essential but I would also
challenge those people good people my
sister Mary Ann Farina she always get
embarrassed but I love that woman
because she to me represents the best of
the Christian tradition she is somebody
that takes very serious and I know she
doesn't view Muslims as enemies but she
takes very serious things like turn the
other cheek and love my enemy these are
these are very difficult things to do
but the real Christians have to step up
to the plate the real Jews have to step
up to the plate people are recognized
that an attack on any religion is an
attack on all religions that is just a
simple fact of the matter because that
the essence of religion is a commitment
to something that transcends the set it
all religious people that are part of
this incredible tapestry of religions
that we have in the world are people
that are saying there is more to life
than just this physical world that were
into we share in met commonalities in
our ethics Islamic ethics as sister Mary
had knows is identical to Christian
ethics in so many areas virtue ethics of
Kazami is the virtue
ethics of Aquinas these are the
commonalities and the bridges that don't
need to be built they need to be pointed
out everybody talks about building
bridges there are so many bridges that
are already there
we just need to recognize them through
the fall and then make that effort to
cross them and meet somewhere in the
middle and just enjoy the incredible
view I was once with a group of Muslims
my Bibles with us was amongst Indian
some other people and we were walking
across a bridge just after 9/11 it was a
very narrow bridge and there was some
two two people coming on to the bridge
and we got to the middle and I just made
a joke this bridge isn't big big enough
for the both of us and he looked and he
said you're Muslims aren't men I said
yes and he said the bridge is big enough
for all of us
we're very disturbed at what they've
done to your community there are people
out there that that need to believe the
Muslims need to reach out but we also
need to hear from those people thank you
very much
