Thank you all very much for your hospitality. We've just had a -- wide-ranging discussions on the matter at hand. Like the good folks standing with me, the American people were appalled and outraged at last Tuesday's attacks. And so were Muslims all across the world. Both Americans and Muslim friends and citizens, tax-paying citizens, and Muslims in nations were just appalled and could not believe what we saw on our TV screens.

These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it's important for my fellow Americans to understand that.

The English translation is not as eloquent as the original Arabic, but let me quote from the Koran, itself: In the long run, evil in the extreme will be the end of those who do evil. For that they rejected the signs of Allah and held them up to ridicule.

The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent evil and war.

When we think of Islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. Billions of people find comfort and solace and peace. And that's made brothers and sisters out of every race -- out of every race.

America counts millions of Muslims amongst our citizens, and Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country. Muslims are doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms and dads. And they need to be treated with respect. In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect.

Women who cover their heads in this country must feel comfortable going outside their homes. Moms who wear cover must be not intimidated in America. That's not the America I know. That's not the America I value.

I've been told that some fear to leave; some don't want to go shopping for their families; some don't want to go about their ordinary daily routines because, by wearing cover, they're afraid they'll be intimidated. That should not and that will not stand in America.

Those who feel like they can intimidate our fellow citizens to take out their anger don't represent the best of America, they represent the worst of humankind, and they should be ashamed of that kind of behavior.

This is a great country. It's a great country because we share the same values of respect and dignity and human worth. And it is my honor to be meeting with leaders who feel just the same way I do. They're outraged, they're sad. They love America just as much as I do.

I want to thank you all for giving me a chance to come by. And may God bless us all.

    Bush was wrong, and Obama is worse. What's your point?

    So you're ascribing comparative religion scholarship credentials to the Dumbest President Ever, by way of a 15 year old speech?

    Many conservatives would put that statements in the top 10 worst things Bush said or did. In the week after 9/11, I give him a pass on that on, particularly since there were war plans in motion against the Taliban's nascent caliphate.

    Clearly you know everything about Islam. And think the religion is the issue rather than the individuals. You must think guns are the problem too rather than the individuals.

    Clearly it's the religion of Peace and they only wish to contribute to America in a positive way.

    Every good liberal has quite a few that are friends.

    You are talking about a group of people that believe in murder when somebody leaves their religion, gays are executed, and women are treated like 3rd class citizens.

    Religion if used wrongly, embeds into people an ideology filled with hate, murder, discrimination, and social rampage. Guns are a tool used by these psychos as are bombs, knives, and chemicals to fulfill their insane ideology. But great miss as always.
