...remarks about institutions of mental health that you made in connection to John Edwards a year ago at CPAC. I must confess—I didn’t think it was possible to display irrational, medieval attitudes, to undermine your own party and to do violence to our nation??€™s history and principles and call it conservatism, all at the same time. Your speech proved me wrong...
...course, I should expect such treatment. I am a foreigner, pursuing my scholarly endeavors here at the pleasure of your government. Surely, an American would be treated differently? An American abroad would no doubt be welcomed with open arms into the soft, sympathetic bosom of his nation??€™s consular services! Any national abroad, in fact, should surely expect a brotherly welcome from this familiar institution, this happy little chunk of America...

And in that war between secularists and Islamists, the classroom ought to remain a sacrosanct environment that ought to be free of religious influence. Unlike in France and other Western countries, some of which have instituted similar bans, aversion to religious practices in schools in Turkey...
