ANDRE CARSON

To some people, power is a noun. To others, it's a verb.

Bottom line is, you're not going to win the war against terrorism without the help of Muslims... as well as Hindus and a lot of other groups. That's a no-brainer. Many attacks have been thwarted because of information coming from people of different faiths.

People are always judging you based on where you're from, where you went to school, how you look, how you talk. But at the end of the day, you're going to have to look into the mirror and accept who you are. It's all about being authentic.

Most of us are visual learners. Some of us are auditor learners – we learn by hearing. Many of us are kinesthetic learners. We learn by doing, touching, feeling. I have found … that we need an educational model that is current, that meets the need of our students. America must understand that she needs Muslims.

Thank God for the founding fathers, who set up three separate branches of government. And the media acting as the Fourth Estate.

People see me as Andre first. Then they see me as someone who happens to be a Muslim.

Donald Trump's impulsivity concerns me. He's fanning the flames of xenophobia and Islamophobia and the American people are speaking out against it.

The Tea Party is protecting its millionaire and oil company friends while gutting critical services that they know protect the livelihood of African-Americans, as well as Latinos and other disadvantaged minorities.
