Haben Sie schon einmal gesehen, wie jemand Amerikaner wurde? Letzte Woche haben auf einer von mir organisierten nationalen Bürgerkonferenz dreißig Einwanderer aus 17 Ländern den Eid geschworen und sind Bürger der Vereinigten Staaten geworden. Es war ein bewegendes Erlebnis für die Hunderte von Menschen im Raum.

There are many countries where you can only believe more or you can believe less. But in the United States we have this incredible smorgasbord, and it really interests me why people are drawn to one faith rather than another, especially to a system of belief that to an outsider seems absurd or dangerous.
