I was struck by the grace and humanity and power of moderate Muslims. I wondered where our moderate Christians were, while moderate Muslims were busy overthrowing dictators.

It is humbling and good to see that now moderate Christians are stepping up and making their voices heard in our attempt to overthrow our dictators.
