• September 11 was, and remains, above all an immense human tragedy. But September 11 also posed a momentous and deliberate challenge not just to America but to the world at large.

• I see the Koran very much as an outsider. It stands in the great prophetic tradition of trying to return people to the basic principles of spirituality.
