Moderation and temperance are keynote of Islam

The simplicity of Islam, the powerful appeal and compelling atomosphere of its mosques, the earnestness of its faithful adherents, the confidence inspiring realization of the millions throughout the world who answer the five daily calls to prayer - these factors attracted me from the first.
The broad-minded tolerance of Islam for other religions recommends it to all lovers of liberty. Muhamed admonished his followers to treat well the believers in the Old and New Testament, and Abraham, Moses, Jesus are knowledged as co- Prophets of the One God. Surely this is generous and far in advance of the attitude of other religions.
Moderation and temperance in all thnings, keynote of Islam, won my unqualified approbation.
