It is an historic event, ... It shows that those who believe there is a fundamental clash of civilizations between Christians and Muslims are actually wrong that they can work together that we can cooperate together. And I think that is of fundamental importance for the future of peace and prosperity.
We'll see how things go. We haven't had a tough schedule the last little while. Now we play every second day until Christmas. That would be a little bit of a load if Alex had to play all of that.

have seen play, and heard others praise, and that highly (not to
speak it profanely), that, neither having the accent of

journeymen had made men, and not made them well, they imitated
humanity so abominably.
