When setting up the defense of the Muslim Community Center in New York, I left out a very important speech. Mayor Bloomberg gave this great speech in defense of religious tolerance: (taken from Huffington Post)
Here are his remarks:
We have come here to Governors Island to stand where the earliest settlers first set foot in New Amsterdam, and where the seeds of religious tolerance were first planted. We've come here to see the inspiring symbol of liberty that, more than 250 years later, would greet millions of immigrants in the harbor, and we come here to state as strongly as ever - this is the freest City in the world. That's what makes New York special and different and strong.
