“I would like to focus on the words behind you, and I sure do not want to change it to ``In Religious Freedom We Trust.'' It has the word ``God'' in it. And Lewis Farrakhan, time after time I have heard him refer to God. When I was in Egypt President Sadat said, ``Intrahlah,'' which means, ``In God we trust,'' and that was out of his own words ``in God.'' Mostafa Arab on my staff at National University came to me and asked me, said, ``Duke, can I pray to my God?'' which was Allah, and I think that is correct. I think by using the word God, if the gentleman were saying Jesus Christ, then maybe he would have a point, but we use God for all different religions, and from what I have heard all different religions use God.”
