We need to employ a secular approach to ethics, secular in the Indian sense of respecting all religious traditions and even the views of non-believers in an unbiased way.

It is terrible that we all die and lose everything we love; it is doubly terrible that so many human beings suffer needlessly while alive.

It's all these things that-so there's no anti-Islam. — George H. W. Bush
