I think every Muslim woman has to feel the world out for herself.

There are millions and millions of patriotic Muslim Americans.

There are plenty of Muslims who live faithfully in the United States.

One of the misperceptions that exists in the Muslim world, which needs to be fixed, is the perception that Muslims in America are - are - are living in - in very, very, very bad circumstances. They cannot practice religion freely. It is not the truth at all. The fact is, we are practicing. We fast, we pray, we do our prayers.

I think there has been a lack of full cooperation from too many people in the Muslim community.

Muslims must believe that all power, success and victory comes from God alone.

It's no surprise that the Bush administration's bullying swagger and blithe ignorance have caused much of the Muslim world to hold the U.S. in rock-bottom regard.

The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country - I know, because I am one of them.

I have Muslim members of my family. I have lived in Muslim countries.

This simple truth is the essence of my message to Muslims throughout the world: know who you are, who you want to be, and start talking and working with whom you are not. Find common values and build with fellow citizens a society based on diversity and equality.
