“These terrorists are the antithesis of Islam. They’re not Muslim. Violence has no place in religion, and the terrorists are responsible for their own crimes, not the religion and not us.”

We must build bridges, conquer hate with love, and meet intolerance with a renewed commitment to education and open-mindedness.
