It did so, thanks to the courageous leadership of our President, who refused to look away, even though he has just been through a very difficult year. I thank you, Mr. President, for your courage. And I thank Mrs. Clinton for your active interest in relief efforts. As persons of faith, Mr. Wiesel, Mr. President and Mrs. Clinton, you must share my frustration at the fact that so many of the atrocities in this world have been committed in the name of religion. Both Muslims and Jews believe that saving a single life is like saving the life of a whole people.
Christians believe in loving one's enemy.
Yet, until the recent events in Kosovo, the world has exhibited profound indifference to Muslim suffering, especially the suffering of women and children in various parts of the world. We have time. What you said, of course, is correct, but some religions did less than others. We couldn't, and maybe we wouldn't. Now, in general, the problem with religion is when it becomes fanatic.
