most excellent letter from my friend richard myers: “We will not stand for attacks on the principle of religious liberty. We will not sit by when our Muslim neighbors are threatened. We will not be silent when good people are characterized as terrorists. We will not be still when politicians disregard the Constitution and label people unjustly. Therefore, we appeal to our silent neighbors: speak up gently if you can, firmly if you must. Engage your neighbors to dispel uninformed stereotyping of Muslims. Learn all you can about Islam. Enter into interfaith conversations. Memorize the opening words of the First Amendment of the Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Complete letter.
