"What does that look like from a Jewish perspective or a Muslim perspective to see 10,000 crosses? It feels much more to me like an evangelistic crusade than a community celebration."
"The dead don't count for anything in boxing. Instead, what count are the enormous interests that lie behind boxing matches."
"If the Qur'an is not hate speech, I don't know what is. We will report staff who sell it."
"Character has a lot to do with sacrifice, laying our personal interests down for something bigger. The best example of this is Jesus.
He knew the right thing to do. He knew the cost would be agonizing torture and death. He did it anyway. That's character."
