【明報專訊】「美國各種信仰的宗教領袖，從福音派基督徒到猶太教教士，以及世俗領袖和輿論，一起明確譴責這種無禮、可恥的行為，我為此感到鼓舞。我們在立國之初已對宗教寬容作出承諾。」

"I am heartened by the clear, unequivocal condemnation of this disrespectful, disgraceful act that has come from American religious leaders of all faiths, from evangelical Christians to Jewish rabbis, as well as secular US leaders and opinion-makers. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation."
