The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
Let me be clear. This is a problem that's brought together churches and synagogues and mosques and people of all faiths as part of a grassroots movement. But we also know our conscience cannot rest so long as the war goes on in Iraq. It is that promise that has always set this country apart - that through hard work and sacrifice, each of us can pursue our individual dreams but still come together as one American family, to ensure that the next generation can pursue their dreams as well. Don't tell me that Democrats won't keep us safe. Let us keep that promise - that American promise - and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess.
And meeting them won't be easy. The fact that so many people are surprised to hear that anger in some of Reverend Wright's sermons simply reminds us of the old truism that the most segregated hour in American life occurs on Sunday morning. Because I've seen it. It is time for us to act on what everyone knows to be true. On education, we will expand exchange programs, and increase scholarships, like the one that brought my father to America, while encouraging more Americans to study in Muslim communities.
He told me he'd joined the Marines, and was heading to Iraq the following week. That is why there is a mosque in every state of our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. Indeed, faith should bring us together.
We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. And Democrats, we must also admit that fulfilling America's promise will require more than just money. Because I've seen it. It was Islam - at places like Al-Azhar University - that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment. The sixth issue that I want to address is women's rights.
I will rebuild our military to meet future conflicts. Because I've seen it. Many wait in refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza, and neighboring lands for a life of peace and security that they have never been able to lead.
Thank you.
