Flag Hoisting Ceremony on the 66th Independence Day at the Embassy of Pakistan – August 14, 2012
“For Muslims everywhere, and for other faiths, the task ahead is for voices of moderation to rise above the seekers of hate. Violence is not an ideology any religion espouses, and our challenge today, especially after September 11, is to appropriate all symbols and words that privilege tolerance and justice and pluralism above all else.”
