There's a couple things you don't talk about in life, and that's race, religion and politics. I try to make sure I don't talk about politics at all.

Our religion does not discriminate according to color, sex or anything else. What counts is piety and faith.

Philosophy is an attempt by man to find cause and effect. Religion has the same goal.

First of all, my persuasion is what really breeds violence is political differences. But because religion serves as the soul of community, it gets drawn into the fracas and turns up the heat.

Religion is the call to confront reality to master the self.
