L.A. Mayor's Comments at Mosque

The L.A. Times reports:

"I look more like you than I do the founding fathers of our great country," he told the crowd. "Our ability to see that connection with one another is the key to our future."

Then he too invoked the spirit of the civil rights movement.

"It is incumbent upon all of us to stand up against discrimination," he said. "It is incumbent on us to stand up for those principles of Islamic faith -- equality, unity and diversity."
