Fanaticism and terrorism have no place in Islam.

Our enemy is not Islam. Islam is not the enemy of America; Americans are not the enemy of Islam. Our real enemy is extremism and radicalism.

I condemn everyone and anyone who commits acts of terrorism. And Hamas has committed acts of terrorism.

Islamic law is clearly against terrorism, against any kind of deliberate killing of civilians or similar 'collateral damage.'

Religion is defined by the relationship between God and man. And Islam is the submission and the acknowledgment of the human being to the creator.

What's right with America and what's right with Islam have a lot in common. At their highest levels, both worldviews reflect an enlightened recognition that all of humankind shares a common Creator - that we are, indeed, brothers and sisters.
