This will be a place of congregation, of order, of peace, of prayer, of hope, of humility, and of brotherhood. From it should come forth those thoughts, those sentiments, those attitudes, which bind men together and which unite. It has been conceived and will exist in a mood of friendship, courtesy, and harmony.
It is my hope, a very deep hope, that it will become a symbol of a growing understanding in the West of the real meaning of Islam.
