Excerpt from the book:
“GOOD EVENING.”
“Today, our religious freedom came under attack. This morning’s deadly terrorist act in lower Manhattan, at the site of a proposed mosque, was a shameful and cowardly display of intolerance by a group of religious fanatics who would call themselves Christians. Today’s victims were a group of young women, some of them holding their babies, who were attending a meeting on how to organize service efforts in their community.
When I took office, I asked every American to step up and perform community service, and that is what these women died doing. These were American lives lost.
“Today’s acts of murder were intended to frighten our non-Christian communities, and force them into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is built on the strength of our diversity. It was a Jewish financier in Philadelphia, named Haym Salomon, who funded the completion of the Revolutionary War. He never asked for repayment from our early debt-ridden government. We are a nation of many faiths. We always have been.
“A search is underway for those who were behind this act. I have marshalled the full resources of our agencies of intelligence and law enforcement to identify those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the people who committed these crimes and those who hide or harbor them.”
