Obama Visits Mosque: "An Attack on One Faith is an Attack on All Our Faiths"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Obama visited the Islamic Society of Baltimore in Catonsville,
Maryland, on Wednesday in his first trip to a mosque as president. He
declared that attacks on Islam were an attack on all religions.

President Barack Obama: "If we're serious about freedom of religion-and
I'm speaking now to my fellow Christians who remain the majority in this
country-we have to understand an attack on one faith is an attack on all
our faiths."

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump-who has a record of
suggesting President Obama might be secretly a Muslim born
overseas-later discussed Obama's visit to a mosque on Fox News.

Donald Trump: "I think that we can go to lots of places right now. I
don't know if he's-maybe he feels comfortable there. We have a lot of
problems in this country, Greta. There are a lot of places he can go,
and he chose a mosque."
