It's a journey that takes us back to our nation's founding, when none other than a UCC church inspired the Boston Tea Party and helped bring an Empire to its knees. They held vigils across this country when four little girls were killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church. 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. So long as our relationship is defined by our differences, we will empower those who sow hatred rather than peace, and who promote conflict rather than the cooperation that can help all of our people achieve justice and prosperity.

But we will support a secure and united Iraq as a partner, and never as a patron. So let there be no doubt: the situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable. Those are not just American ideas, they are human rights, and that is why we will support them everywhere.
