“I think it speaks well of all of us in this body and of our country that today, as we get to the business of designing our counterattack against savagery that has been unleashed against our countrymen, that we take this time to ensure that the rage that is felt throughout our country does not take us in the same evil direction that we plan to fight. It is very easy to do. We understand that. Because as we are fighting a group of fanatics overseas, it is very easy for Americans to lose sight that people who perhaps are Muslim in their faith, and those people who are responsible for the attack may well and probably were Muslims, to generalize in that way. But that would be just a crime against our own citizens and against innocent people. Our greatest strength as a Nation is that we are a people who recognize that we are of all races and of all religions. I was very proud today that at the National Cathedral we had all faiths represented there, including Islam. And if we break that strength, we are actually weakening ourselves.”
