My father was from Kenya, and
a lot of people in his village
were Muslim. He didn't
practice Islam. Truth is he
wasn't very religious. He met
my mother. My mother was a
Christian from Kansas, and
they married and then
divorced. I was raised by my
mother. So, I've always been a
Christian. The only connection
I've had to Islam is that my
grandfather on my father's
side came from that country.
But I've never practiced
Islam. ... For a while, I
lived in Indonesia because my
mother was teaching there. And
that's a Muslim country. And I
went to school. But I didn't
practice. But what I do think
it does is it gives me insight
into how these folks think,
and part of how I think we can
create a better relationship
with the Middle East and that
would help make us safer is if
we can understand how they
think about issues.
