Quote of the Day:
"Virtuous, humble, devotional: He leads by serving. And leads who? Pope Francis is leader of 1.2 billion Catholics, Christianity's largest denomination. Saudi Arabia claims to be, and is often described as, the principal Sunni Muslim power, leading the world's more than 1 billion Sunnis, though its government isn't even chosen by its own citizens."
-Haroon Moghul is a fellow at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding. He is an author, essayist and public speaker writing for CNN on September 8 about the Syrian refugee crisis
