One thing that i feel very, very strongly is that we talk about islamic countries, islamic people, islamic leaders, as either moderates or extremists. it's almost like there are only two categories of muslims. and actually, that doesn't show respect. it shows lack of understanding of the diversity of muslim thought.

There are moderates in israel. there are moderates in iran, there are moderates in the republican party, moderates in the democratic party. what we need to do is we need link all of these moderates together and to figure out a way by which this particular coalition can speak to important issues to marginalize the voice of the extremists.
Party Voice Issues
I don't think people by nature are extremists. you will never find a population of extremists. extremists have existed throughout the centuries on all religions. and what happens is, extremists start to have more leverage when the situation is bad.

Katherine johnson never complained, it just was what it was. she just said, "i just wanted to go to work and do my numbers." and she stopped right there. i think about that as a black woman in hollywood when i'm asked about diversity. i hate when people say diversity because the first thing you jump to is black and white. when you talk about diversity, you're talking about women being hired in front of and behind the camera. you are talking about people with disabilities, the lgbtq community...so i hate when people think about diversity.
Hate Black And White Thinking
Americans have called on moderates in muslim countries to speak out against extremists, to stand up for the tolerance they say they believe in. we should all have the guts do the same at home.
