The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
Understanding this reality requires a reminder of how we arrived at this point. They have killed people of different faiths - more than any other, they have killed Muslims.
Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place, America, that shone as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had come before. More to do for the young woman in East St. But we also know that government initiatives are not enough. And God is still speaking. And yet words on a parchment would not be enough to deliver slaves from bondage, or provide men and women of every color and creed their full rights and obligations as citizens of the United States.

The attacks of September 11th, 2001 and the continued efforts of these extremists to engage in violence against civilians has led some in my country to view Islam as inevitably hostile not only to America and Western countries, but also to human rights. We will, however, relentlessly confront violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security.
