Quote by Jon Meacham
In America, now, let us - Christian, Jew, Muslim, agnostic, atheis

In America, now, let us – Christian, Jew, Muslim, agnostic, atheist, wiccan, whatever – fight nativism with the same strength and conviction that we fight terrorism. My faith calls on its followers to love ones enemies. A tall order, that – perhaps the tallest of all. – Jon Meacham
