I think this world needs a little more hugging in their lives.

People should embrace themselves.

See how these Christians love one another.

I love hugging people. I still hug everybody in my meet-and-greet lines.

Muslims should live like brothers.

I'm more the sort of person who doesn't like hugging strangers because we don't know each other, so we shouldn't.

If you hug to yourself any resentment against anybody else, you destroy the bridge by which God would come to you.

This is indeed a clash of civilisations, not between Islam and Christendom but between reason and superstition.

A long-running argument exists over whether Christians and Muslims worship the same God. In my view, they certainly do.

Christianity and Judaism have gone through the laundromat of humanism and enlightenment, but that is not the case with Islam.
